Four, Quattro, Chi, 4

Julie Blackmon, a very talented photographer... julieblackmon.com
" Birds At Home" -Julie Blackmon

Well, for fun I thought I'd post this... I wish these things told a little more about who you are but it's a start. I also wish I was in a better mood to write this and make it really interesting... Well, if your bored, read on:


Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. U.S. Forest Service. Painting rings around trees to be saved from being clear-cutted. (14 years old- my dad insisted I learn how to work hard and have a job.) Needless to say I was a bit of a tree hugger back then and I sprayed A LOT of trees.

2. Tempeh maker at Turtle Island Foods. My boyfriend's (clarification: "at the time") step-dad ownes the place and created Tofurky- if you're a vegetarian then you'd know all about it.
3. Seamstress for Down East Outfitters. Most of the furniture in my house was paid for through employee credit- well ok 4 out of the 5 pieces of furniture we actually own.
4. Graveyard shift at the Gap sticking security tags on clothes. Lame. Also, amature photographer- hey! I did get paid- sometimes!


Four places I have lived:

1. Califorina- Castro Valley: Born, then until the age of 9.

2. Trout Lake, WA pop. 800 Big change... I had 11 people in my graduating class. Needless to say I was on the varsity basketball team, Prom Queen and Valedictorian. I only tell people that when they don't know how small my school was!

3. Salt Lake City, UT (med school student housing/penitentiary)
4. Portland, OR (6 years of pure hell... long story... but great people and city!)


> Four Places I have been on vacation:

1. San Diego for our honeymoon.

2. Kauai- some wonderful friends of Greg's parents let us stay in their house by the beach for a week. Best 7 days of my life!!

3. Broken Group in Northern Canada. The most beautiful and also the worst vacation I've ever been on! 69 miles of kayaking, and 3 miles of dragging your kayak over dry ground to get to the next lake.
4. Lake Chelan, Wa just this summer; awesome!


Four of my favorite foods:
1. York Peppermint Patties chilled in the fridge.
2. Pan seared Ahi tuna crusted with macadamia nuts.

3. Diet Coke- with ice and a lime... like mother's milk! Also Burgerville chocolate shakes- have you ever seen a baby latch on to it's mother's breast? Yeah, you get the picture just with a straw....
4. Chili's Molten Lava with ice cream and 3 friends.


Four places I would rather be right now:
1. Well for starters, anywhere where the temp. is under 100 degrees!
2. Any magazine rack

3. Cannon Beach with The Ladies

4. Laying under the stars in Trout Lake in a sleeping bag with Greg.

Four of my favorite TV shows:

1. Alias, Season 5 finally!

2. The Office

3. King of Queens

4. Any docudrama which Greg hates watching with me...

Oh, and I second the macadamia nut-fish thing, AND King of Queens. Excellent selections:)

Quite the image you have described of drinking your "mother's milk". LOL You sure did hug a lot of trees! Fun stuff, wish I was out under the stars. That lake trip sounds dreamy.

My mouth watered as I read your Diet Coke comment. I miss my Diet Coke drinking friends! We need a lunch date- can you just fly out and hang out for a day?!?
