4 jobs: Photo lab tech, Camp Canteen Sales Lady, 5th grade & Middle School Teacher, Ann Taylor Loft Associate
4ish places lived: Bartlesville, OK; Sugar Land, TX; Owensboro, KY; Tulsa, OK; Cedarville, OH; Indianapolis, IN; Louisville, KY

4 places vacationed most recently: Great Smokey Mountains, San Antonio, Phoenix, Florida
4 foods I like: Guacamole, Egg Rolls, Sushi, and Mangos
4 places I’d rather be:
- On Survivor—so far, I’ve tried out twice… I’ve tried out for the Amazing Race 4ish times. SINCE they didn’t choose me, I’ve never watched the show again. That’ll teach ‘em.
- Australia—I’ve always had a hankering to travel there.
- Anywhere—With My Husband.
- Taking a nap.
4 places I like to shop: Amazon.com, Ebay, Marshalls, and Hand-me-downs…the jeans I’m wearing are hand-me-downs from a coworker who’d lost weight…gee…that’s a compliment…
AND IN COMBINATION WITH ANOTHER SURVEY, since you are on the edge of your seat with the excitement from this one already (sarcasm dripping)…
4 favorite places to be……..a state park in the fall, a cozy couch with a good book, anywhere next to Michael or zippy, a sushi restaurant
4 + 4 Favorite things to do…. camping in the fall, going to football games (or watching the Buckeyes play), watching plays or musicals, eating, watching movies, playing Ultimate Frisbee,sleeping, and playing ANY game with ANY victim…errr…volunteer.
Thing I wish I could do in the future… invent a game that was as popular as Monopoly, be on a game show, pay off my house, live life to the fullest because of Him!
Fun facts about my past…
- I went to 3 high schools in 4 years.
- In middle school, my mom gave me a home perm that fried off my hair where bangs would have been. People started looking at my forehead when they were talking to me, so I had to cut bangs that covered the singed hairs.
- I can still recite the lines to my middle school theatrical debut (haha) in Midsummer’s Night Dream as the Wall (yes, that was my character…), “In the same interlude, it doth befall, that I, One Snout by name, present a wall…” Not very many people can say they were a wall (Snout) in a play.
- In second grade (ONLY for competition’s sake), I memorized 2,000+ lines of poetry, and received a stuffed dodo bird as a reward.
4 random facts about my childhood… (Sent by my mom as I was trying to think of facts…)
- While a child, I wanted a band-aid so badly that I bit my toe in order to create a boo boo.
- Locked my mom out of the car in order to avoid discipline at a busy intersection at age 5.
- When I was 3 and was disciplined, I told my mom that she was “wasting my time.”
- After an argument with Ross, my mom made us say something nice about the other person. I thought and quickly came up with, “Although I don’t always act like I love you, I really do.” Ross thought and thought and thought and thought and thought and thought, and all he could come up with was, “Well… you keep yourself clean.”
I wonder why all of the facts from my mom above involve injury or discipline? HMMMMmmmmm…perhaps I was a handful…
When tagging for this, I instantly (because of the nostalgic post) became reminded of the unathletic, awkward kid at a recess game being picked last–not saying that this relates to any of you, I just didn’t want to pick…plus, i love reading other’s blogs—SO, I TAG EVERYONE that wants to fill this out and hasn’t done so already: Michelle, Allison, Amber, Amy, Ann Marie, Kerri, Brittany, Ben, Carrie, Michelle, Hannah, Molly, Shelley, Jamie, Julie, Brooke, Kelsey, Daniel, Krista, Katie, Kristen, Sara, Laura, Liz, Lucinda, Brooke, Bethany, Lynn, Melissa, Marla, Beth, Vianna, Rachel, Risha, Rebekah, Renee, Sarah, Emily, Joanna, Kelly, Jen, Susan, Megan, Lisa, Chrissy, Andrea, Dave, Christy, Maren, Katie, Andrea, Alex, Claudia, Abby, Andrea, Michael, Jason, Christopher, David, James, Matthew, John, Robert, Brian, Joseph, Jennifer, Jessica, Melissa, Heather, Amy, Sarah, Angela, Amanda, Michelle, Elizabeth (I also just added the 20 most popular names in 1978 too just in case I had forgotten someone—gives me a 70% chance that I’ll get them on this list, too…lol)… and ANYONE ELSE, I’ve missed accidentally, please feel free to join. THE MORE THE MAREN-ER, I always say. (actually, I don’t, it just fit seeing how I just listed all those names…)
Happy Wednesday, folks!
