4 Things for Jackie

I started this on 10/19/08 at 5:19 pm . . . and remembered that I hadn't ever finished. So, here it is . . . better late than never!

4 things I was doing 10 years ago:

Sleeping only 2 hours a night trying to finish my final semester of graduate course work (ironically enough for a degree I never finished)

Eating lunch with Mary Beth at the Mall Deli.

Living in the Quincy House . . . oh how I loved that house--but NOT the
camel crickets that eventually took over the basement *shiver*

Ministering alongside a fantastic team of men and women on the
CrossQuest Staff.


4 things on my to-do list for today:

Load and unload the Dishwasher

Update my blog

Send Jess her Pepperoni

40 minutes on the ellyptical machine and maybe some weights.

4 places I've been:

Maui, Hawaii--the Summer of 1993 . . . no rock fever here :)

Binalonan, Philippines--spent the summer pf 1995 sleeping in a choir loft under a mosquito net and was never late for church!

Shenyang, China--the summer of 1996 were I was consistently awakened in the wee hours of the morning by the North Koreans playing soccer in the hallway outside my door in the Foreign Student Dorm

Playa Del Carmen, Mexico--July of 2003? an hour south of Cancun, it's all the great things about the Yucatan Pennisula and not all the tourist hype . . . oh, there's enough hype, just not ALL of it



4 places I want to visit:

Nepal and the sooner the better!

New York, New York

Norway

Kansas, even though I was just there.



4 TV shows I watch via DVD:

Good Eats

Good Eats

Sorry, there aren't any more. That's really it.

Okay, okay, I might catch part of an episode of Smallville or Supernatural or Gilmore Girls on DVD, but that's only because my roommates watching them . . . and I'm walking through the living room.



4 of my favorite meals:

Taco Salad made from my mother's recipe . . . not how she's changed it up in recent years, but the old school way she made it when we were kids.

Zucchini and Corn

Homemade pizza with spinach, feta cheese and sundried tomatos

Steak--a thick, good cut of meat, rubbed down with olive oil and seasoned with salt, pepper and maybe a little rosemary--grilled about 5 or 6 minutes on each side so that it moos at me a little



4 things you may not know about me:

Once, while playing a game in college, I convinced a whole room of people that my family's motor home fell into a crevice in the earth caused by a tornado/earthquake while we were on vacation in North Dakota (loosely based on a true story).

My whole life, until recently, I've had a secret desire to be a truck driver.

In high school I wrote a screenplay parody of Bill & Ted's Most Excellent Adventure (The name of which I'll withhold to protect the star cast members) where two girls went back in time via a refrigerator sized present to gather personalities for their church youth group's Christmas Presentation. And we filmed it. And showed it to the whole church. It was pretty ridiculous.

I took a rifle shooting class for a PE credit in college and got an "A" . . . so . . . don't get on my bad side :)



And I'll copy Jackie who copied Meredith and ask
you, you and you to answer the questions too (but only if you want to).

Awesome! I'm obviously not much of a disciplinarian or you would have had this finished a loooooong time ago. Don't let it happen again.

I'm so glad that you linked a picture of the camel crickets. Although that picture does clearly depict their size, creepy factor, or their ability to jump real high and fast.

I don't remember any story about our motor home falling into a crevice, I'd like to know what true story your false story is "loosely based on"
