Tag, I'm It?

Holy Crap, I've been tagged.... It's a good thing I was paying attention on this wonderfully gorgeous, oh why do I have to be inside, tax day. (Topic for another post). So, without further ado...

Four Jobs You've Had:

1. Does it count as a job if you didn't get paid? Well, I'm counting it. I was a hog house cleaner. When I was younger my mom thought it was a good idea to have me and Lindsay clean out the farrowing house in-between litters of pigs. Come to think of it, I think maybe we did get some money for this, so yes... this was my first job.

2. Busser at Prairie Meadows. Never, ever again will I work in food service. The pay wasn't bad (they're required to pay a certain amount over minimum wage, some casino thing) but I'm not big on handling other peoples left over food. The only good part... they have a KICK ASS weekend breakfast buffet where they always make way too much food. So we used to hide in the back and eat off of the trays that were waiting to be taken out to the buffet line.

3. Front desk at a hotel. We once had a group of Hispanic men stay and they told us there was only going to be three people in the room, but the owner saw a BUNCH. So he unlocked the room and found pieces of bread hanging from the light fixture and a picture of Jesus on the wall. They (all 10 of them) were asked to leave. He also hung out in the back smoking camel no filter cigarettes all day long. He would never help you, he just hung out in the back watching.

4. Babysitter. I used to watch several kids when I was in highschool. There was one family that I would go over there almost every day in the summer so the mom could run errands. I was in highschool and of course stayed up way too late, so I would take naps when the kids did, or sometimes when they were just upstairs playing.

Four Movies You Could Watch Over and Over:

1. Runaway Bride
2. You've got Mail
3. Sister Act
4. Save the Last Dance

Four Places You've Lived:

1. In a Dorm Room in Ames, IA
2. In an Apartment in Ames, IA
3. In a mobile home (you guessed it) in Ames, IA
4. In Altoona (Boring aren't I? I know live 15 miles from where I grew up. We never moved and the only moving I've done is to go to college and come back.)


Four T.V. Shows You Love To Watch

1. Survivor
2. CSI (Pick one, the original, NY or Miami)
3. Close to Home
4. Crossing Jordan

Four Favorite Books

Okay, I'm taking a cop out on this one. I can not remember the last time I read a book, or more importantly what my favorite books are. I love to read, I just don' t ever have time to do it. My biggest problem becomes once I start a book, I can't put it down until I'm finished. So if I'm going to read, I have to have LARGE scheduled chunks of free time.

Four Places You've Been To On Vacation

1. Orlando (3 times... LOVE Orlando!!)
2. New York
3. Washington D.C.
4. Colorado

Four Websites You Visit Daily

1. All the one's at the right (my list REALLY need updating!!)
2. KCCI.com (local news station)
3. It's tax season... I don't have time for more than that...
4. Did I mention it's tax season... I don't really even have time to be writing this...

Four Favorite Foods

1. Pizza
2. Fettuccini Alfredo (newly acquired)
3. Chocolate (that encompasses most of my diet)
4. Burgers and Fries

Four Places You'd Rather Be Right Now

1. Home
2. On vacation
3. Somewhere warm (who am I kidding, it's 53 degrees outside, I'd just like to go OUTSIDE!!)
4. Playing with white tigers (doesn't really matter where as long as they are tame and don't eat me... yeah... not being eaten is sort of a requirement)

Four People You're Tagging

I'm not big on tagging people, mostly because, I'll admit it, I'm not sure I have 4 people who read this site who haven't #1 already been tagged, or #2 Don't even have a blog. So, I'm leaving it open. If you see this and would like to participate... go right ahead. I'll read it!!
