I was tagged for the Fab Four Meme by the fabulous Mrs. Chicken, from Chicken and Cheese, about a million years ago, back when she was still at her old place recently. While I am ambivalent about memes, I happen to love Mrs. Chicken, so here you go…..
4 Jobs I’ve Held
1. Waitress at IHOP. It has been 12 years and you will still never catch me eating there. Ever.
2. Worked in a shoe store at the mall. I was subjected to many Al Bundy jokes at the time, but it was actually a great job. I got to work in the mall and didn’t have to wear a ridiculous uniform.
3. As a plan courier for a civil engineer. When The Boy was a baby. I hauled plans 3 days a week, but I got to bring The Boy with me.
3. As a receptionist at a retirement community.
4 Films I Could Watch Over and Over
1. Pride and Prejudice (the old Colin Firth version)
2. Say Anything

4. Anything 80’s Brat Pack
4 TV Shows I Watch
1. Intervention

3. You know what? I don’t really watch anything.
4. Nothing that I watch enough to list. Hmmm. Yes, I own a TV. No, I’m not anti-TV. I just don’t really bother with any shows like I used to. I watch a lot of Discovery and National Geographic channels for homeschool stuff. I liked Coupling, when you could see it on BBC America. I used to watch Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives, but lost interest. I like House, whenever I manage to catch it….which is like, three times ever. Austin City Limits, sometimes. That’s it. Shrug.

I don’t really tag people for memes, especially this one, because it has been around the block so many times, I can’t recall who has done it already. But…if you want to do this meme and link back to your answers in the comments, I will pick someone at random to win one of my favorite things. My very favorite chocolate scented lotion from Southern Comforts. It is handmade and awesome. It smells like chocolate, People! It will be available soon on my website…and I am taking preorders now.

Mmmm, Colin Firth. That is one of my favorite movies for when I’m home sick and I need to watch something that will keep me entertained while I’m awake… but which I’ve also seen so many times that if I fall asleep and wake up again, I’ll know where I am.

I feel much the same about memes, which is why I maliciously tagged people for this one.
*wink*
Thanks for playing and I am very sad that I am not eligible for the chocolate. Because I haven’t had breakfast and I am hungry and pathetic.

I found you while looking up Asperger’s stuff. Actually, I found The Boy first. Anyway, I came here. Laughed a bunch. Saw the chocolate lotion dealio and feverishly completed a MeMe.
