From another board...Poll where were you 10 yrs ago (june 99)

jsusann · June 2009

I was making a ton of money (boy have things changed) and just won a work-rel. trip to Hawaii. I just got over a bad boyfriend and was friends w/ my now husband. I was single and loving it!

MNheidi · June 2009

I believe that was the summer a couple hs friends and I (I graduated hs is 90) went to the Bahamas and did nothing but drink rum and dance on bars for 3 days strait.

LIAngel · June 2009

Not happy that's for sure. I was 28 and still living at home (hey didn't have enough money for rent). Did not have a boyfriend or even any contenders. I put an ad out in my local paper's singles section (yes I was desperate). I was also down, because it seemed like EVERYONE but me was getting married or engaged. I was in like 4 weddings within a 2 yr time period. I just resigned myself to the fact that it was never going to happen for me and I'd be like my Aunt (50 something and single). If someone had told me "Oh 10 yrs from now you'll be living in a totally different state, in a HOUSE (not apt), married with a baby" I would have told them they were off their rocker. I was working at a Stock Brokerage Firm and had gotten promoted from Receptionist to Admin.

Would I ever want to be 28 again? Sure- but I would want the life I have now (house, husband, and child).

ees96 · June 2009

I had just finished my junior year of college and stayed on for the summer. I took classes, worked 2 jobs, and drank more than I can even remember! I was single and loving it!

DaynaKJ:
I was about to enter my Freshman year of Highschool

Me too! And I had a huge crush on the boy I thought was "the one" - thank goodness we broke up my junior year of high school and I met DH

Smudges*Mom · June 2009

I was living in the Washington, DC area and had recently started working as an executive assistant at Arthur Andersen. It would be another 5 years unitl my ADD diagnosis, so I'm sure I was sweatin' the bills but still going out with my girlfriends and dating random guys. All in all, it wasn't a bad time, just not where I am, happily, today!

Now, if we were talking 20 years ago, June 1989, I'd be graduating from high school and getting ready to go work at summer camp before heading off to college in the fall! )

10 years ago today I was in the middle of a month long business trip in Singapore!

elliek05 · June 2009

I was between freshman and sophomore years at college. I was working at McDonalds that summer (with some friends, so it was always a laugh, and they gave me all the hours I wanted.) I was a raging insomniac, too, and spent most nights awake watching videos, writing, in all-night cafes.

muppet.fan · June 2009

I graduated from college in June 99 and started my first post-college journalism job. Wow. I feel old! Smile

emiannie · June 2009

I had just graduated high school and was living foot loose and fancy free for the summer. I had just broken up with my boyfriend and had gone to Rockfest in Atlanta. It was good times! :-) Oh to be that thin again. hehe.

r.alexandra · June 2009

I had just moved to Boulder, Colorado to start my second "real-job" ever. I LOVED living there and if it was not for my husband, I would still be living there. It was a fun and crazy time!

jamalynn · June 2009

Just finished my sophomore year at college and was lifeguarding and coaching the swim team. I had already been dating DH for 3 years. We were both at home for the summer (went to different colleges).

crystalgirl · June 2009

Well, I was already married to DH. We had moved to Pittsburgh the previous Fall so he could start his PhD. I was employed at the university on a research project since there weren't any grad programs there I was interested in (at the time). Kind of a blah time for us since we really missed Austin...

mrsdwjax · June 2009

I was living in Savannah, GA & it was in my Sophomore/Junior year of college - working on a degree that I don't use LOL.

desabean · June 2009

June of 99....hmm. I was 27, had just started a new job downtown, very happy in a relationship that turned out to be a snooze fest (but it was still the honeymoon period so I didn't know that at the time ; ) basically working, happy hours, and weekend parties.

charmcitygirl · June 2009

I had just finished my junior year of college. DH and I had been together for about 6 months at that point. I went home to Baltimore that summer and had a blast going out with friends, drinking, smoking and enjoying my first summer that I was 21!

Shaina · June 2009

June 99--wish I could go back ONLY for the sake of being with my mommy pre-cancer. Can't even remember life when she was alive and NOT sick. :-(

I had just finished my 2nd year of law school. I was dating a guy I wasn't that into and was still a year away from meeting my wonderful DH.

My bro was getting married to that nightmare he calls a wife and she was still on her 'best behavior' and we had no idea wht shiiiit she had in store for us.
