The last ten:
1. Sebastien and I got married in New Orleans in '91, on New Year's Eve. Then he dumped me in Chicago and went back to Canada. Did he change his mind? No. We had eloped, so I had a job to finish and some packing to do.
2. I lived in Canada from late January to June of '92. There was snow on the ground almost that whole time. We lived in a French town called Penetanguishene; it had an institution for insane criminals.
3. We moved to Missouri and lived in a log cabin until we bought a house. There were snoring Frenchman bunking down in our loft and living room until I kicked them out. One of those men had a nose that had been horribly broken in the past (more than once maybe), and the sounds that came out at night were loud and hideous.
4. Seb and I have owned three different houses and six different cars together (and I am refusing to count the El Camino and the broken down blue pick-up).
5. We welcomed four children in six years. I've been pregnant nine times and gained and lost 200 pounds with pregnancies.
6. I've traveled to California, Florida, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Nevada, Arizona (I think), Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, Kansas, Pennsylvania, Ontario, Quebec, Belize, France, Jamaica. I've lived in Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Ontario.
7. I've been to the house of Elvis. I even took a photo inside (strictly prohibited) of my friend Poodie and me in a stairwell covered with green shag carpeting (the walls were carpeted).
8. I have tried to learn French and failed.
9. I almost died in '99. If I hadn't insisted that the doc see me immediately instead of waiting until my appt the following morning, I'd have bled to death.
10. I make a really good Boeuf Bourguignon.

I would like to know what superfun thing you did that makes you unsure as to whether you actually traveled to Arizona, and whether the insane criminals had anything to do with it.
