BOOKS
Four things you may not have known about me.....
(One of my high school friends e-mailed this to me. I've added a few more categories. It was fun making this list. )
Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Popcorn girl at the movie theater
2. Legal secretary
3. Bartender at a country club
4. Bank manager
Four movies I have watched over and over:
1. Meet Me in St. Louis
2. Apollo 13
3. While You Were Sleeping
4. Notting Hill
I should list all the movies I watched with my kids until we had them memorized. (He-Man, Last Unicorn, Karate Kid, etc. etc.)
Four places I have lived:
1. St. John, Newfoundland, Canada
2. San Francisco, CA
3. Lincoln, Nebraska
4. Utah
Four TV shows I love to watch
1. Dancing with the Stars
2. Extreme Makeover - Home Edition
3. Gray's Anatomy
4. Northern Exposure (It counts, I own the DVDs)
I could add The Batchelor but that would be too embarrassing. (See embarrassing below)
Four places I have been on vacation:
1. Pacific Northwest
2. New England
3. Monterey
4. Disneyland, of course.
Maybe someday I will make it out of the country, besides Canada.
Four of my favorite foods:
1. Prime Rib
2. Pizza
3. Cheese burgers
4. My mom's roast beef
Unfortunately, I can't eat most of these on a regular basis so I like them even better now.
Four living people I would like to meet:
1. Sherry Dew
2. David McCullough
3. Katie Couric
4. Gordon B. Hinckley
Four non-living people I would like to have met:
1. Abraham Lincoln
2. Theodore Roosevelt
3. Lucy Maude Montgomery
4. Eve
There are so many, but I think the conversation would be very interesting with these four. I would like to meet the Savior also, but I will someday.
Four places I would rather be right now:
1. Italy
2. Santa Fe
3. New Zealand
4. Peru
Four Favorite Holiday Memories:
1. Very early morning breakfasts with my kids and other family on Memorial Day at Steinaker Lake. I don't want to do those again, but I love the memories.
2. Christmas Eve at my mom's, especially when all the kids were younger.
3. New Year's Eve at Booklogged's, especially the first year we played "What if . . . then."
4. The 4th of July we spent on Vancouver Island and how hard we laughed on the ferry ride back that night.
Four Embarrassing Moments:
1. I thought I had my church talk memorized but didn't and had to leave the podium and get my paper. I was 10 or 11.
2. Tripping and falling over a cord at work.
3. Tripping and falling on a tile edge during remodeling at work. (There's a theme here.)
4. Slipping and falling down the cement stairs at the Tabernacle after stake conference.
The last three were actually quite painful as well, but crying would have just been more embarrassing. Can I add that I am often very embarrassed for those women on the Batchelor? I probably watch it to see people doing more stupid things than I've ever done.
Four people who will respond to this meme:
1. Booklogged
2. Cassie
3. Alyson
4. Cardine (Someday, we are going to have to meet in person. I love your comments)
By respond do you mean leave a comment or post this meme to my own blog? I enjoyed reading your meme. It's always fun to learn interesting odd facts about my family. I may post his meme on my blog, but I haven't decided yet.
ReplyDeleteIf you mean for us to do this meme on our own blog I don't know why you put my name as you know how I feel about these things. Love to read, don't really like to participate.
ReplyDeleteI think she meant responding as in, commenting. If so, cha-ching! Here I am!
ReplyDeleteI had to look up David McCullough on wikipedia. That's a cool one. A Pulitzer Prize-winning author!
I really did mean to just comment although I would love to see a list like this on each of you. Although, Cassie, I challenge you to come up with four things in each category that I don't already know.
ReplyDeleteI was tempted to not comment since I didn't make the list, but I put away my pride and here I am. :)
ReplyDeleteI would really, really like to meet and converse with Eve! I used to love The Last Unicorn and would cry at the end - I wanted her to stay human and marry the prince. Why Sante Fe? I love my memories of #'s 1 and 2, too, and I laughed out loud at #'s 1 and 4 of your embarrassing moments.
Fun post!
I'd love to meet David McCullough too. I am currently reading his book The Great Bridge. I have a bunch of his books on my To Be Read list.
ReplyDeleteJulie, I haven't had you comment on my blog for so long, I wasn't sure you still read it. Sorry for the slight. Let me just add how much I hate the Lst Unicorn. It was so corny. (Get it?)
ReplyDeleteCyndie, I haven't heard of The Great Bridge. What's it about? Let me know when you finish it?
The Great Bridge is about the building of the Brooklyn Bridge. It's pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteI just read a review on another McCullough book, "The Path Between the Seas" about the Panama Canal. How does he write so many books that require so much research? Amazing,
ReplyDeleteJulie, I've always wanted to visit Sante Fe. Next time I do a meme, I will put your name since Booklogged has ignored me. Very unusual.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't really slighted; I haven't had a lot of time to blog lately, so it's no wonder that you weren't sure I'd comment. My time is freeing up a bit, so I'm back in the blogging world! :)
