...to jumpstart my brain this morning. I spotted this over @ Dizzy C's blog. These random little exercises are too fun to resist :)
Four jobs I have had in my life:
1) Little league softball umpire (one summer)--over-involved, argumentative parents drove me nuts :P
2) Campus library processing assistant (three years)--this involved creating & applying labels to all new library materials (which means I got to preview everything that came in first!), finagling security strips in the spines (arrgh...), packing & shelving new materials, and other odds & ends in cataloguing. This job kept me sane and on a routine for 3/4 years of my university schooling.
3) K-8 substitute teacher (three years)--my current job until I can get my own classroom *crossing fingers*
Four places I have lived:
Only one & that's Ontario, Canada for about a 1/4 century :D In fact, I've been in the same house, too.
Four books I would recommend:
Hoo boy...if I can only name 4:
1) To Kill a Mockingbird- Harper Lee--I just finished re-reading it & it's a definite must-read
2) Harry Potter series- J.K. Rowling--adventurous and nostalgic
3) Different Seasons- Stephen King--breathtaking and not as gory as most of his books
4) Fahrenheit 451- Ray Bradbury--for everyone who loves books
Four Places I have been:
I'm afraid I'm pretty dull when it comes to travelling and have only been within Ontario. I'm definitely gearing up for future escapades & would love to visit all of Europe, Hawaii, Australia, China...
Four of my favourite foods:
Gino's chicken wings, my mom's homemade lasagna, scalloped potatoes, quesadillas
Four of my favourite drinks:
Tim Hortons double-double, Diet Pepsi, freshly-made ice cold orange juice, martini :D
Four places I would rather be right now:
My pool, my deck, a beach, basically anywhere where the weather isn't muggy like it is today.
Four things that are special in my life:
My family, things that make me happy like reading, my job that I love, and of course, blogging!
Four bloggers I hope will do this meme:

Like you, I've only ever lived in Ontario, but I couldn't imagine being in the same house the whole time. In just the past 10 years I've lived in 9 different houses. Over my entire lifetime I've lived in 18 different houses. I guess that's craziness of a different sort.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in. :)
ReplyDeleteDid u need protection as a softball umpire to deal with the parents. :)
I know what they are like here on the football sidelines :)
Have a good week
The campus library job sounds awesome, I would love a job like that!
ReplyDeleteAnd MAN I totally want some Tim Hortons now... a nice caramel iced capp sounds heavenly :-)
(First) Sarah~ Wow, that's a lot of moving boxes :D My mom lived in many houses before marrying my dad, so maybe staying in one place has been her wish :)
ReplyDeleteDizzy C~ LOL, for sure :D It was shocking how argumentative parents could be over house-league softball with little kids. Thank goodness it was just for a summer.
(Second) Sarah~ Mmmm...iced capp. I loved my job; it was so relaxing, I listened to music throughout most of it and the hours were incredibly flexible with my class schedule, I got to "renew" my job every year, and got a pay bonus every year, too. Yeah, it was heaven :)
Ah I have not read Different Seasons but I do love King's writing style. I enjoyed his other books too and never really had a problem with gore and horror, but I should definitely try that one out.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love scalloped potatoes too. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI've read and love all 4 books you recommended!
