Time capsule

August 25, 2003

A couple months ago, I discovered a homework assignment I completed in 4th grade. It’s a handmade stapled booklet called “All About Me from A-Z” and it’s hilarious. I rediscovered so much about my 10-year-old self, like how much I loved candy and how much I hated practicing the piano. I wanted to change my name to Regina and I wanted desperately to own a Hallmark store when I grew up.

Sandwiched between the last two pages was a sheet of wide-ruled paper on which I’d started the same exercise a few years later. I was disappointed to see that I’d stopped after the letter “G.”

I found such joy in the questions, however, that I decided to try it again–17 years later. Now I’m sharing it with you.

ALL ABOUT ME FROM A-Z: PAST

A LOT ABOUT ME FROM A-Z: PRESENT

 


  • I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>


  • I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
    I look on the bright side.
    I take photos. Lots of photos.
    I wish on stars and on websites.


  • I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
    I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
    I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
    I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
