A meme by any other name would smell as sweet
I've been woefully behind in visiting other blogs since the holidays began. My real life work and my mom gig have often kept me so busy that just managing a post or two here every day is all I can do.
(That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it)
Thus I missed last month's meme tag by fellow blogger and Drinking Liberally compadre Bill Nothstine.
In an effort to make up for the Carla-centric oversight, I'm promising to buy Bill's first beer at DL (when I can make it--mom stuff seems to be getting in the way).
With my apologies for the late reply...the meme:
Four jobs you've had in your life:
*Laying sprinkler pipe during Summer break at college*Hotel front desk clerk
*Kindergarten teacher
*Transcriptionist for a Poli-Sci professor
Four movies you could watch over and over:
*The Quiet Man
Four places you've lived:
(This is probably a dissapointment. I'm strictly a Northwesterner)
*Boise, Idaho*John Day, Oregon
*Silverdale, Washington
*Beaverton, Oregon
Four TV shows you love to watch:
*Lost*Golden Globe Awards Show (I'm a sucker for this stuff. This one is less snooty than the Oscars but still as dressed up)
Four places you've been on vacation:
*Walt Disney World--Orlando, Florida*Las Vegas, Nevada
*Bath/London, England (and a few days in Paris, France)
*Grand Canyon National Park
Four websites you visit daily:
*Blue Oregon
Four of your favorite foods:
*Potatoes--fry em, mash em, bake em..I don't care. I love em. Especially the garlic fries at Safeco Field. DAMN.*Rosemary/citrus roasted chicken
*Kev's poached pears
*Bread--except rye. Blech.
Four places you'd rather be:
(I'm going to pick up Bill's amendment and change this to "four places you wouldn't mind having a little getaway to, since I love where I am:
*The Bahamas*Sydney, Australia
*On safari in Africa
*County Tipperary, Ireland (where I can study family roots)
Four books of fiction you re-read every now and then:
(I thought about saying "The Bible", but I'm not up for the blowback today)
*Jane Eyre
Four things you continue to believe, mainly by partitioning them off from what it pleases you to call your "better judgment:
*Everyone has at least a little spark of good in them. Sometimes the effort to find it is monumental, but it almost always pays off.
*Honesty is the best policy, especially when its tough to do it.
*Karma is very real. You get what you give.
*If I could just get another hour in the day, everything would get done.
