Sunday Stealing




Today we ripped this meme off a blogger known as Tattooed Minivan Mom from the blog The Scattered Mind of a Tattooed Minivan Mom. She explains that she got it from Janana Bee. It appears Jana might have actually written this meme. But, it could have stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time.

Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser.

Sunday Stealing: Janana's Now Vs. Then Meme
It's been a while since we had to post rules. But here we will list the relevent ones:

*Think back to ten years ago on this month.
*Write truthful answers and ELABORATE. This makes it more interesting!
*If you don't have a scanner you may omit #14 but I think if you do you should totally do it!
*It's about personal changes. Have fun with it!

  3. If I've learned anything when it comes to health issues, it's that we need to pay attention to what our body tells us and to listen to the concerns of others. You can't go back, but you sure can move forward at full speed!

    My daughter got married in January, so I'm waiting for my turn to be a grandmother. Maybe next year. . .
