And Now For Something New And Different

Some academic smarty-pants has apparently decreed that today is The Most Depressing Day of the Year. That's not news to me given the fact that Liam and I both have our umpteenth cold of the season and therefore spent a large part of the day in bed reading books. Rather than bore you with the icky details of runny noses and sneezing, I thought I'd try something new and different.

It seems that both Dana and Rebecca are in search of someone to tag in the Fours meme. Since I seem to be the only person on the net who's never participated in one of these memes, I thought I'd jump at the opportunity. So, without further ado, here goes nothing.

Four Jobs You've Had:
1. Pet shop manager
2. Chemist
3. Paper Carrier (7th grade. I lasted for only one northwestern PA winter)

Four Movies You Could Watch Over and Over:
1. The Hunt for Red October
2. The Sound of Music (I know, I know, especially given my name and all)

Aw, heck, I do read. A lot. It's just that nothing sticks in my brain these days. Honestly, I had to reread (twice)the directions on a box of Annie's Mac and Cheese the other day. So, if memory serves:
1. Under the Tuscan Sun
2. The Way Baseball Works
3. The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency

Yup, that was definitely more fun than relating goopy nose stories. And now I have to run, since Liam has succeeded in coughing himself awake. Again.
