(Self-tagged from Jemison, but I'm actually changing some of the categories a bit since I don't have any kiddos of my own...)
Four SUMMER Jobs I've Had:
1. Assistant to the claims administrator of the Global Breast Implant Litigation Settlement -- Oh yeah, you read that right.
2. Media liason at the Republican National Convention in 1992 -- Again, you're not imagining that.
3. Receptionist/office manager for a casino with offices based in Houston -- I got to deal with guys who called me "dollface". Heh.
4. Nanny -- boring, but true.
Four Movies I Love to Watch Over and Over:
1. Star Wars Star Wars STAR WARS
2. Young Frankenstein --(along with Mystery Mommy and Jemison) "He...vas...my...BOYFRIEND!"

2. Blackbeard's Ghost
3. Swiss Family Robinson
4. The Parent Trap
Four Animated Disney Films that I would happily NEVER see again:
1. Dumbo

3. Bambi
4. The Hunchback of Notre Dame
Four Books/Series that just make me happy so I read them over and over:
1. The Eyre Affair -- I've been with Jasper since the very beginning
2. Gone With The Wind -- I'll never get tired of reading that book
3. The Narnia series -- don't get all Christian-preachy with me. I love the fantasy, not the religious overtones.
4. The Oz series -- Ever since I was little I've been enthralled with the L. Frank Baum's magical world.
Four Things I Cannot Do:
1. Keep my house clean -- Wait, I guess that's more of a "won't do"...oh well.
2. I'm stealing Jemison's "Play Golf" -- In high school my gold coach told me that if I ever picked up a club again he'd wrap it around my neck. Apparently when you hit the ball the club isn't supposed to go with it.
3. Play video games -- I still can't get past level two of the ORIGINAL Super Mario Bros.
4. Watch gory movies. Blech.
Four Places I've Lived (as a grown-up):
1. Houston
2. Georgetown, TX
3. Uh, Houston.
4. Did I mention Houston? Shit.
Four TV/Radio Shows I Love to Watch/Listen (that are still running):
1. Lost
2. Family Guy
3. Project Runway
4. House
Four TV Shows I Love (that are no longer running):
1. Um...THE GOLDEN GIRLS -- ahahahahahahaha
2. The REAL Sesame Street. None of that Elmo crap. *shudder* Elmo haunts my dreams.
3. Fantasy Island -- I just can't get enough of the cheesy '80s shows.
4. The (original British) Office

Four Blogs I Visit Daily:
1. Dooce (along with the rest of the free world, I know)

3. Popgadget -- sometimes they showcase some really keen stuff
4. cityrag -- it makes me miss NYC
Four of My Favorite Foods (that I cook):
1. Risotto
2. Insalata Caprese
3. Polenta Pound Cake
4. Um, cheese. I don't have to cook it, I just love cheese.
Four Cars I've Owned/Driven at the whim of my father:
1. 1981 Buick LeSabre -- aka THE TANK. My first car. It parked in two time zones.
2. 1996 Jeep Cherokee -- aka Joe Joe Bob Michaels. I love my Jeep.
3. 1988 Suburban -- aka Mr. Fred. This was my training car. My dad figured that if I could learn how to drive and park this land yacht first then anything else would be a piece of cake. How right he was.
4. 1992 BMW S735il -- aka Darth Vader. In high school I was the only person in our family that my dad trusted to drive Vader. Ahhhh that car was like buttah.
When "What's Up Doc" came out I was on a business trip somewhere (Lord knows where), didn't have any afternoon appts. and went to the movie. I was the only person there!
It was very odd falling in the aisle laughing as the only person in the theatre. One of my all time favs fer sure, Dude. So, did you accept the offer? Congrats if so!
OOOXXX

And speaking for your mother's side of the family (panic attacks), if we weren't all crazy, we would be insane! (with all due respect to Jimmy Buffett). :-)
