I've been tagged

I have been tagged a few times and they have had a couple of different templates so I am going to combine them.

Four jobs I have had:
1. One man accounting department at Recreation Outlet in Salt Lake City, UT
2. Waitress at Cowboy Grub in Salt Lake City, UT
3. Grounds Crew at BYU
4. Legal Courier at Scalley & Reading in Salt Lake City, UT

Four movies I can always watch:
1. Pride & Prejudice (A&E)
2. Pride & Prejudice (Focus Features)
3. Sense & Sensibility
4. Big Fish

Four places I have lived:
1. Boston, MA
2. Houston, TX
3. Bloomfield Hills, MI (near Detroit)
4. Panyu, Guangdong, China

Four TV shows I enjoy:
I don't watch TV much anymore so I'm going to change this to four shows I used to enjoy:
1. Who's the Boss
2. X-Files
3. Animal Planet
4. Tiny Toons

Four favorite foods:
1. Salmon
2. Death-by-chocolate Torte with fresh raspberries and a glass of milk
3. Pecan and Gorgonzola salad
4. Peaches

Four websites I visit:
2. http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ (and, so that the little guys are also represented, http://www.booksense.com/)

Four places I love to be:
1. At one of the temples of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with Scott, ideally we would be performing marriage sealings for our ancesters.
2. Outside with Scott and Susanna; but where depends on the season. Autumn: Cascade Pass (in North Cascasdes National Park in Washington). Winter: Scott's Pass (in Big Cottonwood Canyon near Salt Lake City) wearing cross country skis. Spring: Almost to Seward Park (in Seattle) on road bikes. Summer: Leigh Lake (in Teton National Park in Wyoming) in a canoe.
3. At a good toy store, such as Planet Happy Toys in Seattle or The Tutoring Toy in Salt Lake City, with Susanna.
4. At home with nothing to do and a really good book.

Four things you might not know about me:
1. I took Ballet lessons for about 12 years
2. I have a fantasy of living in Maine in a weathered clapboard house and wearing wellington boots and a fisherman sweater. This fantasy does not involve becoming a lobster fisherwoman.
3. By the end of my sophomore year in high school there were 12 or 13 people on the soccer team. For those of you who do not know, that means that only 1 or 2 people aren't playing. That person was almost always me (and maybe someone else). Then our goalie broke her wrist and they decided to send me out on the field. I had never even thought about playing goalie, but who else was going to do it? I was the only one who was not already playing. From then on I started as keeper.
4. While I was living in China a friend talked me into allowing her to give me a makeover. To the best of my recollection this is the only time I have ever worn make-up.

Two people who I am tagging:
(basically this means you have to fill in the blanks above: tell us four things about yourself for each of the eight 8 categories above as I have done)
1. Cherlyn T.

Pumpkin Push

Saturday October 27, 2007
Together, Scott, Susanna, and I participated in the Pumpkin Push (a 5K) today at Seward Park. A lot of people were in costume (including Susanna)-- some favorites were Star Wars' Chewbacca-- who gave an acceptance speech for his costume award in the language of the Wookiees, Wilma Fintstone complete with a car (these people ran the 5K in these costumes mind you), and a daddy Pirate pushing a toddler and preschooler pirate in the "Jolly Jogger." Susanna clapped and cheered for all the runners and she panted at all the dogs. We all had a great time and hope to do it again next year.
