    what's the meaning behind your tattoo?
    My tattoo doesn't really MEAN anything, but I have loved and collected turtles for as long as I can remember.   
    I approve!

    We did a road trip to Disneyland in April.  It was fantastic!  Tman was the perfect age.

    You know, I have mixed feelings. They take care of a lot of stuff, and really we follow the rules most of the time, so we don't get bothered.  Our dues are pretty high, but when we had our fire, they took care of a lot of stuff, and that was nice.

    I'd rather not go back, but if I needed to financially, I wouldn't whine about it.

    Man, that was a trillion years ago!  Mine were not digital, so these were scanned.

    Not too fancy.  I don't really know what to tell without giving away specifically where I was working and I don't really want to. I mostly did paperwork type stuff, though, not really any science stuff. :)

      I don't know.  Like I mentioned before, I would like to be a baker or something.  Make fancy cakes.  But, I'd want to eat them all, too.

    We both had good jobs and James was in an apprenticeship where he kept getting raises every 6 months.  We lived off of his income and used mine to pay off our debt.  We both came into the marriage with debt, so that was the main thing.  We paid it all off when Tman was about 1.5, saved a little, bought our condo, and then I quit my job 2 months before his 2nd birthday.  We are still able to do a lot of what we want to do, we just have to plan and save in order to get it done.  I have been asked to do some contract work here and there and I usually do it, but I haven't worked full-time, in the office since, and my last day of working at all was June 30, 2010.

    I think i know... back in high school, when i planned to go to med school, i wanted to work there doing medical research when "i grew up."  A different company in the same field was in that building at that time.  Or maybe i'm crazy and made up that you worked there, but i think you alluded to it before (a looong time ago) and i got a little jealous I'm not a stalker, i promise! :)
