I'm it

Okay, I realize anyone reading my blog is waiting for an actual post and update on my now very exciting life. I promise, it's coming. My head is still spinning and I just haven't been able to sit down and write about it all, but I promise I will.

I swear.

Very soon!

In the mean time, I have been tagged for the first time ever to do a meme. While I know I have done lots of memes, I have never actually been tagged! Thanks Lara, for popping my tag cherry!

So here goes:

So here I give you my list of 4's.

4 jobs I have held:
1. YMCA desk attendant
2. Old Navy and Gap cashier and customer service person (I don’t really know what my title was when I walked around and helped people find their sizes and what not)
3. Waitress at Eskimo Joe’s
4. Teacher (the best job I could have ever dreamed of having!!)


4 movies I can watch over and over:
1. The American President (Lara, I am keeping that one there, I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!)
2. Pretty Woman – Is it wrong that that was my favorite movie at age 8??
3. Cinderella – Gus Gus is so one of my favorite movie characters of all time!
4. Any of the three American Pie flicks (especially American Wedding – who else cried at “Nadia, I am the band geek, I just never joined the band.” ? That is quite possibly the best movie line EVER!)

4 places I have lived:
1. Bedford, Texas, from age 2 to 18
2. Fort Worth, Texas, for those years at Texas Christian University
3. Stillwater, Oklahoma, for those years at Oklahoma State University and the best years of my life—SO FAR (I have a feeling some really great ones are coming!!!)
4. Gainesville, Florida, for these years at National Champ U, I mean University of Florida


4 Categories of TV programming I enjoy:
1. Competition reality shows on Bravo (I even watched Top Designer and I am so NOT an interior design kind of person)
2. Cheesey, aimed-at-14-year-old-girl-shows on WB (now CW) like Seventh Heaven, Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, Reba, What I like About You, and Twins (where did that show go, I loved it!)
3. Cop shows (this is a new addition to my repertoire) like CSI Miami and Law and Order SVU… I think I only really like the spin offs, not the originals
4. What category is Grey’s Anatomy? That category. I am so hopeful about Kate Walsh’s new show!! Is Ugly Betty in the same category?


4 Places I have been on Holiday:
1. Stillwater, Oklahoma, is where I have spent the most holidays and vacations in my life.
2. Las Vegas baby!! That’s where I spent my honeymoon.
3. Alberta Creek, Durant, Oklahoma, is where my family owns a trailer at a fishing “resort” (only in Oklahoma do trailer and resort go in the same sentence) and where we go every year for a family fishing trip. I love that trip.
4. Daytona Beach, Florida. Bike Week and Biketoberfest were holidays. I won’t be doing bike holidays any more, but I am just not that sad about that!


4 of my Favorite Dishes:
1. Hamburger stroganoff
2. McDonald’s No. 1—big mac and fries w/a large diet coke – is that really a dish?
3. Chicken broccoli rice cheese casserole (Stouffer’s frozen version is best)
4. Soup (while a rather general “dish,” this is, I think, my favorite category of food)
**I feel compelled to point out the obvious here, I have really white-trash taste in food and this proves it!


4 websites I visit daily:
1. Gmail – duh (another one I have to steal from Lara)
2. Web CT for the class I am teaching
3. Myspace and Facebook
4. Since Wednesday and probably for the next 35 weeks, babycenter.com!!!


4 places I would rather be right now:
1. In Stillwater celebrating with friends and family (can you tell I REALLY love that place??)
2. In Bedford celebrating with family and friends
3. In Houma, Louisiana, celebrating with family and friends
4. Snuggling with the daddy-to-be (he’s at work)


4 other blogger buddies to do this meme:
1. Ali at Cheaper than Therapy (Ali might not know I exist, but I am tagging her none-the-less)
2. Mrs. Chili at A Teacher’s Education (another one who might not read my blog, but I love reading hers)
3. Nikki at Now What the Hell do I do? (I am hoping she will send me some new mom advice, and I at least think she reads here occasionally…)
4. Labor Nurse at The Life and Times of a Labor Nurse (not I really don’t think she knows I exist, but I really like her blog and I really want info from her over the next 35 weeks so here’s a selfish tag if I have ever seen one).
**Another thing I have to point out here, I LOVE the women who share their lives and let me read their blogs. I love them so much that even though most of them don't even know I exist, I consider them my bloggy friends. Is that weird?


And, yes, a real post is coming soon! I swear!
