I've been tagged.

So, Stacy Julian tagged me.

Here ya' go:

Four jobs you’ve had in your life:

1. Burro Wrangler at Green Oak Ranch. This was a horsemanship camp for inner-city kids - I ran the burro program and taught hundreds of little kids how to ride. I adore burros and someday hope to have property so I can own one of my own.
2. Counter girl and cook at Alice's Drive In - my highschool job. The best burgers in Astoria, hands down.
3. Horsemanship Program Coordinator - Jasper Mountain Center. Here, I taught severely abused kids the joys of horses - from riding to mucking stalls.
4. Fine Jewelry Specialist at Mervyn's. I know, Fine Jewelry and Mervyns is a bit of an oxymoron.

Four movies you would watch over and over:

1. What's Up Doc with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O'Neill
2. Gone With The Wind
3. The Sound of Music
4. Return to Me

Four places you have lived:

1. Astoria, Oregon
2. Eugene, Oregon
3. San Jose, California
4. Spokane, Washington

Four TV shows you love to watch:

1. American Idol, when it's on.
2. Grey's Anatomy
3. Talk Soup
4. What Not to Wear

Four places you have been on vacation:

1. Shongaloo, Louisianna - population 28.
2. Colorado Springs, Colorado
3. Paris, France
4. Manzanita, Oregon - every summer

Four websites you visit daily:

1. The Pub at Two Peas in a Bucket
2. KellyWell
3. The Edge of Reason
4. My blog

Four of your favorite foods:

1. A great green salad with nuts and craisins and feta cheese
2. Crepes au chocolate
3. Raspberry Oat Bars from Rocket bakery
4. Grilled Salmon

Four places you would rather be right now:

1. In my studio working on my art journal.
2. Out for coffee with my oldest friend, Corey.
3. On a girls weekend with my Mom.
4. On a date with Asia.
(But really I'm totally content to be sitting here with my laptop, listening to S. read to E., and with the dog at my feet... home is always my favorite place to be.)

Four bloggers you are tagging:

I'll just say my brothers, Steve and Ken. Steve, because his site has been down for a couple of days and he doesn't update it often enough, and Ken, because I've never seen him be tagged. He's kind of an insulated blogger, I think.


So there you have it. I'm officially not it anymore.

Comments

  1. Uh, that last one said 4 (four) bloggers not two. I'm afraid you're still it.

  2. Yea, I know. All the other people who come to my blog regularly have probably already been tagged with this one, or they don't respond well to tagging.

    So I'm done with two. It's my blog and I say so.

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...
