We may or may not ever be able to make an announcement that "we're pregnant"...but we have come to understand that the blessing is the fact that however parenthood happens, it is a miracle! ....... Now we have been home with our precious blessing from Russia since August 2007. Join us on our fun and crazy ride that we call "life with this child of mine."

Tagged!
Alicia tagged me several days ago, and I am only just now getting to doing this! Yikes! Here you go. Some things you may or may not know (or frankly, could care less about knowing) about me!

Job's I've Had:

  1. Unclaimed Baggage sales clerk and office phone answerer
  2. JC Penney sales associate (that sounds so important!!)
  3. preschool teacher
  4. professional student
  5. Child Development Specialist
  6. (Child Development) Training Coordinator

Places I've Lived:
  1. Scottsboro, AL
  2. Tuscaloosa, AL
  3. Tampa, FL (for a very short time)

Food I Love:

  1. Eh, if it's food, I probably love it
  2. Except for seafood

Places I'd Rather Be:

  1. Somewhere where it is very cold.
  2. Germany

Places I've Traveled:

  1. Not nearly everywhere I want to go before I die!
  2. Spangdahlem, Germany
  3. L.A. & Pasadena, California
  4. NY, NY
  5. up the New England coast, on a historical/literary tour, when I was a junior in high school.
  6. Moscow & Vladivostok, Russia
  7. other random places

Movies I Love:

  1. The Princess Bride (can quote it in my sleep)
  2. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken
  3. Moulin Rouge
  4. Love Actually
  5. Not really a fan of high action, suspense, or gory movies. Give me a book & I'm happy

TV Shows I Watch:

  1. The Office
  2. What Not to Wear (and I'll say it again, if you nominate me for this show, you'd be my best friend!!)
  3. House, M.D.
  4. Refer to the last part of #5 on the previous question.

Books I Love:

  1. A Tale of Two Cities
  2. Rebecca (though not as much of a fan of Mrs. DeWinter)
  3. Wuthering Heights
  4. Phantom by Susan Kay (based on The Phantom of the Opera by G. Leroux, Phantom is a "behind the scenes" look at the Phantom's life, from the time his mother was pregnant with him until after he died - a guaranteed tear jerker)
  5. And anything by the authors: Nora Roberts/J.D. Robb, Harlen Coben, or Sandra Brown
  6. If it's a book, I'll read it - except that I'm not really big on political memoirs or anything like that. Typically - unless my reading falls under Bible study, I want it to be fiction that takes me somewhere else for just a little while!

See? Nothing particularly exciting about me! And honestly, I am going to take the pathetic way out. I don't have time to see who all has been tagged (though I think most people that I am able to keep up with have been). So, if you read this and you haven't been tagged...consider yourself "IT!!!"

Thank you for humoring me. I enjoyed getting to know more about you. The Phantom book looks interesting. I know all the music (from a high school swing choir piece we did)to the show but never knew the story line (except what you can guess at by knowing the music lyrics) much less the story behind the story. I'll have to check that one out.

Have you read the newer Sandra Brown paperback? Ricochet?? It was GOOD! I love her too! Also love (if you're looking for a little silly humor) Janet Evonovich.

You forgot to add to jobs "Acting Preschool Director" after September 11, 2001. I think that was one of the most admirable jobs you've had and I can never thank you enough.

ILY-N

Like I've said before, Nathan is a sweetheart!

Also, you lived in Montgomery for almost 2 years of your young life. And didn't you live for a short while in San Antonio, or was that just considered an extended visit?

I guess you've outgrown the Nancy Drew series, huh?

hugs, mom

Try reading The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory - it's a fantastic read. LOVE that book. Let me know if you read it and what you think. I didn't think I would like it, but it ended up being the best book I've ever read.

Great list!!

How funny- you lived in Tampa!! We like it (but really, we don't have much to compare it to since my hubby's lived here his entire life and I moved here when I was young).
