The Longest Meme Ever

Knitting content first:
I finished seaming the Rebecca sweater and tried it on. Can I just say, "Va va va voom!" Yup. Major cleavage. But at least it's not X-rated. I'm going to put a row of single crochet around the neckline, then do the picot edging and see how that looks. I hope I don't have to resort to adding rows of garter stitching like Ms. Cooknknit did. That would involve picking up A LOT of stitches. I'm still considering the "modesty triangle" idea. I just don't know how I would do it....yet.

Meme time!
This meme has been floating around everywhere! I've seen longer versions of it, but thank goodness Helen tagged me with a shortened version.

ten years ago:
I was living in Chicago, fresh from chemistry grad school, and working as a lab manager in a molecular biology lab (despite the fact that I had never taken any course work in molecular biology or biochemistry). I was also plotting my next career move as I planned on applying to science education grad schools. Peter and I were dating at that time.

five years ago:
I was living in Sugar Land, Texas, teaching high school chemistry, and suffering. Elly and Cleo (the two older cats) had been living with us for a couple of years. "Us" being Peter and me--we were married by this time.

one year ago:
I was living in Pearland, Texas, and working as an editor on middle school science textbooks. My precious baby cat Scout had entered our lives a year earlier. Peter found her under a car in a parking lot. And yes, I was still married to Peter.
