Four


I first saw Amanda and Jill do this and I wanted to play. I thought it would be a fun Friday post.

Four jobs I’ve had in my life:

  1. Ice cream server (I wore a poodle skirt. And worked there through high school and college)
  2. Field Organizer for President Obama’s campaign
  3. House painter
  4. Phone page at my law library (I basically gathered books and articles from all over campus for professors)

Four books I would read over and over:

  1. Harry Potter
  2. Little Women
  3. Jane Austen’s novels
  4. Thursday Next

Four places I have lived:

  2. Waltham, Massachusetts
  3. San Francisco, California (only for a summer but I have to use it because I haven’t moved around much)
  4. Dunedin, Florida

Four books I would recommend (going with my 2011 reads only):

  1. The Weird Sisters by Eleanor Brown

      I have 20 pages left in it. It’s very different from the other ones. Not sure how I feel about it.

    I see some similarities in your answers to how I’d reply. Think I’ll jump on over to Tumblr and get my meme on!

    All your four jobs are fascinating! And the four places you have been to – so exotic! I liked the description of your favourite food – ‘Breakfast for dinner’ 🙂

    South Africa is def on my list of places to visit. I’m with you on all 4 of your books/series to read over and over (also on the good beer). I think I’m going to have to read Anna and the French Kiss, I’ve seen it recommended too many times to pass it by.
