Stolen from Tara.

I saw this on Tara’s LJ and decided to give it a shot.

Chances are people you don’t even know are being introduced to your journal every day, either randomly or through someone else. In addition to recent entries, people can get to know you better by what you posted in the past. With that in mind, post a link to your entries on this day exactly six months ago, nine months ago, and a year ago. If there was no entry on that day, link the closest date.

* 6 months ago – I was talking about hair and complaining about hosting.
* 9 months ago – I didn’t post on the 4th, I posted on the 9th. That was around the time Mario learned he got his dream job :).
* a year ago – We were getting ready to leave to Disneyworld!!

…when there’s two entries in one day . Mary took me (and all the boys) to JCPenny to pay our credit card bill. I still am too chicken to drive around McAllen. One of these days I’m just going to grab the car and go. That’s the only way I got myself to start driving around here. And speaking of, I feel so much more comfortable driving around this city than I did before–even when cops are around! It would have sucked if I’d been driving the Sentra though (been driving either Noelia’s Geo or John’s Civic). Mario got stopped on the way to work and got off with a warning for our stickers being expired. Eek.

We got some chicken tenders and Icees for the kids from Burger King, came home and then I left to the Family Dollar to exchange the plastic storage box I got and buy some sodas for another get-together tonight (Elda’s making Pozolé, oh yeah!). Went to Dollar General to buy the storage drawer I needed for my scrapbooking stuff (it was $5, not $3!) and found some cute scrapbooking stickers. I love buying scrapbooking stuff from there. I’ve gotten lots of letter stickers; solid primary, pastel and even printed papers, embellishments and mounting stickers. There’s some wedding and birthday embellishments I NEED to go back for . They’re $2, and almost as cute and detailed as the Jolee’s ones. I think that’s what I’ll do right now. Take my box over to Mary’s, where everyone’s congregating, and scrapbook!

[edit]I recieved the Music Baton from: Kitty!

I missed #5. Darnit. I’ve always had trouble with the I/me thing . I want to know which others I missed. I don’t feel so dumb anymore, yay! Being out of school for so long makes me feel stupid .
