Someone Said I Had To - - -

Participate in a game of tag.

Four Jobs I've Held

1) Disneyland Cast Member - not as glamorous as it sounds. I worked in "food services", basically at a fast food restaurant in Fantasy Land... Village Haus. I hated the costume!
2) Babysitting. One time had to call my mom to come help me because the kids were throwing their toys at me. I could not get them to do anything. I told their parents and was never called again... good thing, because there wasn't enough money to make me ever say yes to them again!
3) T.A. for a professor in college. That was a great gig! Good pay and no stress.
4) Teaching elementary school... that was the most rewarding job.... but not as rewarding as my current job... being a mom!

Four Movies I Could Watch Over and Over


1) The Princess Bride
2) Napoleon Dynamite
3) The Wedding Singer
4) Any sappy John Hughes romantic comedy from the 80's.

Four Places I've Lived


1) The house I grew up in Santa Ana, CA - 15 minute drive from the beach.
2) Irvine, CA... about a 12 minute drive from the beach.
3) Santa Barbara, CA... 5 minutes from the beach.
4) Marion, IN - forever from the beach!

Four TV Shows I Like


1) The Office
2) Biggest Loser
3) Grey's Anatomy
4) CSI

Four Favorite Foods

1) Mexican
2) Chinese
3) Italian
4) Chocolate

Four Places I'd Like to Be

1) The Beach!
2) In my new house (where I am right now)
3) Hawaii - a dream I am not sure will ever be realized.
4) On vacation.

Four People I Tag


1) Marion - my cousin, not the city.
2) Shannon as in Shannon of the Woods.
3) Angie - seriously!
4) Jaena - who doesn't have anything else to do, right?

Keetha, this is for you...

...and for anyone else that cares...
Here is a picture of Emma ready for the "Luhow"

I took Emma to tap and Dave had dinner all ready for us when we got home. I thought his presentation was worth sharing.

Luau

Tomorrow night is the Spring Carnival at Kendall. It is a Luau theme. Emma is so excited to be at the "LuHow". She gets to dress up "hawatiian" for school. I love how the simple things make her happy. I also love how she pronounces things. The sad thing is, is that she is growing up too fast and truthfully, she doesn't say "hawatiian" anymore. But she still says "luhow". I love it!

We finally did it...

What did we do, you ask? Well, we actually bought a MINIVAN! Can you believe it? We tried to hold out... but the pressure finally got to us. I am now the typical "minivan driving mom". We bought a Nissan Quest... no, not a new one; just an old one that is new to us. It is actually a 1997, so it is pretty old. The sad thing is, is that 1997 doesn't seem like it was that long ago...but 11 years have gone by since then. Where did that time go?


Know anyone who wants to buy a really fun Jeep Cherokee? We have a 2000 Cherokee Sport (with just under 70,000 miles) for sale. It has 4 wheel drive and a towing package. We just put 2 new tires on it and the other 2 were replaced just a few months ago. Interested? We'll make you a great deal.
