like you i am not really counting on ever being grown up. but if i were to grow up, being a spy would be a good job to have!


one of the things i like about being in my 30s is that people look at me and think i'm grown up. it's my alias - "grown up lawyer woman with a mortgage and fancy car." it's like playing "dress up" everyday. though i don't dress up as a grown up very well - but somehow i manage to pull off the disguise anyway!

1) What were you wearing in your senior picture? There were 2 shots the one my mom liked and the one I liked. A pine green blueish silk button down shirt and a pink sweater.

2) What hairstyle did you have? Hair back in a headband with bangs.

3) What one song always makes you think of hs? I honestly cannot think of one. I remember in 9th grade everyone was obsessed with the Venessa Williams song, "Sometimes the snow comes down in June" I dont know the name of it. But Oh wait now all these crazy pop songs are coming back into my head, but I do not remember the names.

4) If you were headed for college, what did you want to major in? If not, what did you want to do? I wanted to be a financial planner or a corporate lawyer.

5) Did you end up being that major/doing what you planned? I stayed on the business track, but ended up in Marketing.

i had three boyfriends in high school. first one, i'm still friends with. it was his art gallery reception i went to last weekend (i think i mentioned it here). he recently moved to Norfolk VA with his new wife, before that he lived in DC and we saw each other a few times a year. i went to his wedding last spring.


sheesh, i just realized i started going out with him 19 years ago!!!!! we went out for like a year and a half and we've been friends for like 17 years since then. i'm very very old.


i wasn't with the second one very long, and that's a bad story (in which i don't come out looking too good) that we don't want to rehash now. i have not seen him since he graduated high school, a few months after we had broken up. i still always look for him outside his house when i drive by, though. his parents still live there.


the third one i started dating as a senior and continued dating into my sophmore year in college. i haven't seen him in several years, but we were in touch over the years. last i heard, a couple of years ago, he's a lawyer in new york and had just gotten married. we fell out of touch after an awkward incident between a friend of his and me, which is also a bad story in which i don't come out looking too good. yeesh, i have a lot of those in my past. but i'm a new woman now! i've GROWN UP :)

1) What were you wearing in your senior picture?

We did a few pictures... I think I was wearing a green shirt in my favorite picture.

2) What hairstyle did you have?

My hair was very, very long and it was curly.

3) What one song always makes you think of hs?

"Smells like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana

4) If you were headed for college, what did you want to major in? If not, what did you want to do?

I wanted to major in psychology and I did.

5) Did you end up being that major/doing what you planned?

Sort of. I planned to be a therapist and when I realized I just wasn't ready for grad school, I graduated and did social work instead. The personal training was sort of a random thing.
