Ten years ago, I:
was living in Montana and terribly depressed about it
was working in an abortion clinic
was contemplating doing anything to get out of here

Five years ago, I:
was living in Seattle and terribly depressed about it (hmmmm)
was trying to figure out if I really should move back to Montana (hee)
had just reunited with galagan after a breakup that never really worked

One year ago, I:
was still feeling like a newly-wed, and trying to figure out what that meant
was thinking about getting pregnant
very tempted to get my own LJ (but had not yet succumbed)

So far this year, I:
got pregnant and ...
was struck by lightning – two life-changing events
have gotten more and more addicted to LJ

Yesterday, I:
cleaned off the top of my desk after a week from hell at work
felt the Electric Baby roll over (a big milestone)
went to a rehearsal/audition/interview for a candidate for the position of musical director for our Symphony

Today, I:
had another OB appointment, which went pretty well
did a birth control presentation at an addiction treatment facility
got some actual work done and items crossed off the to-do list

Tomorrow, I will:
help out with interviews for the position of my counterpart/co-worker/office-mate
watch snow falling, or so the weather forecasts tell me
call about prenatal yoga classes

In one year, I hope I:
have figured out the next step of parenthood, i.e. what one does after it is no longer housed inside your body
have made some cool quilts and/or blankets that are snuggly and beautiful and warm
can help galagan figure out what he needs to/wants to/should do my his life

In five years, I:
will presumably have a child entering kindergarten, or on the verge (I have no idea if a younger sibling will be part of that picture)
most likely will not live in Montana any more
will be struggling to find the time to read for fun

I just had to do this because of some of the parallels, if nothing else.

I'm glad the "and terrbly depressed about it" part seems to be entirely in the past. :-)

I answered this one in a comment over at sigerson's journal...
