Pure imagination

Did you miss us? Blog Project 3.0 was on hiatus for a few months, but now we're back! This group has been going on for about two years, even though one of the group members changed after a few months. I love blogging with this group and I hope we can continue to inspire each other.

This week, Froggie chose the topic: I would have never imagined...

First, read what everyone else had to share on this topic. I will be only posting links to posts on this same topic from my group. So check back if you were hoping to read their blogs and don't see a link yet.

This topic requires a list.

I would have never imagined...

*That we would reach the year that Back to the Future II took place. See what they got wrong about this year. Then see what they got right.

*That more than half my life has been spent on the Internet. (Do the math...)

*That I would live in a different state from the one I grew up in.

*That I'd be less than a year away from the big 4-0 and that this age wouldn't feel as old as it seemed when I was a kid.

*That my book blog would do so well over the course of five years, or that I'd be overwhelmed by my book collection...

*That someone I completely despise can share a birthday with someone I completely love.

*That I'd be at the same job for almost six years. Goes beyond my three-years-at-the-most average.

*That Betty White would outlast all the other Golden Girls. I love Betty, but I really was expecting Rue or Estelle to live the longest. (Sorry, Bea!)

*That I'd be listening to a hip-hop and rap musical about Alexander Hamilton, written by the creator of In the Heights.

*That I could go to a restaurant where people leave their laptops and cell phones unattended, but someone would rather steal my magazine.

*That the music I grew up with would be grouped into the "oldies" category. Sorry, but Madonna and Michael Jackson do not belong in the same category as Elvis and The Beatles.

*That I'd be a mom for a decade.

*That I'd go from spending Yom Kippur afternoon at McDonald's when I was a kid to spending most of it at Shul as an adult. (Need more of an explanation for this one? Look no further.)

*That I'd finally lose the post-pregnancy weight after three years. I was looking at pictures from early 2014 and now and can definitely see a difference.

*That I'd cave into purchasing a Kindle. It kept me company during the long wait for an oil change earlier this week. Not that I couldn't have brought a paperback, but it's nice to not have my e-reader tied to my computer!
