4×4
The Exception tagged me to respond to a "4×4" meme. Perfect for a Sunday night — how could I say no?
(Funny coincidence that I did a rather sarcastic "5×5" right about this time last year, too. Maybe they lop off a number each time you get closer to being old?!)
Here goes…
Four places I go over and over again:
The kids’ daycare center
The grocery store (with a gas station and a dry cleaner as a bonus!)
Target
Work
Four people who mail me regularly:
By snail mail: that would be my darling FlyBoy, who has sent me quite a few sweet and/or very funny notes and cards since we started dating. I also receive once a month these very unsentimental notes from some guy named Chase – or was it Morgan? Oh, right. It’s J.P. Morgan Chase! He seems to think I owe him money for my house or something…
By email, it would be FlyBoy and my sister.
Four of my favorite places to eat, (apart from home):
God knows I like to eat, but "favorites" are hard for me — I like so many different kinds of cuisines and dining experiences — and appreciate those differences from place to place. That said, these were the first to come to mind…
My parents’ house — my mom is a great cook!
Cliffords — in a small town in a small house in the middle of nowhere. Seriously, it only has 8-10 tables. Wonderful food and service!
On the lawn in front of the Eiffel Tower. This is one of my memories from when I backpacked in Europe for 6 weeks right after graduating from college. My friends and I had brie and baguettes, probably some cheap wine and chocolate, too, right by the Eiffel Tower that summer. I just remember it being the perfect kind of picnic.
The Cranberry Creamery — best. darn. ice cream. EVER.
Four places I’d rather be now:
In bed.
Back in San Diego or on a Carribean beach.
Partying somewhere (inside) with crazy Steeler fans after their first (but hopefully not last) playoff win.
No, really, I’d rather be upstairs in bed. And it would be a Friday, not a Sunday, night!
Four favorite TV shows:
Despite what I wrote in my last post, I don’t watch much TV except for:
Just about anything on HGTV — I still dream I can do this stuff. Fool, fool, fool….
What Not To Wear — It’s great to root for the underdog (but not her underwear) while picking up a few tips for yourself — and yet you can still feel surprisingly good about the sweatshirt and jeans or flannel PJs you’re wearing while watching the show.
(Little known fact: I’m also rather entertained by The Girls Next Door. And, to follow along with The Exception’s flashback to the 80′s, I was rather enchanted back in the day with Moonlighting!)
Four movies I would watch over and over again:
The Shawshank Redemption — again, not big on "favorites" but if I had any, this would be at the top of the list!
A Christmas Story
The Princess Bride
Raiders of The Lost Ark…maybe? (possible alternate: Star Wars — did I mention I used to have a thing for Harry?)
Four people I would like to tag:
You know who you are.

These are great!!! I love those movies too.
Yeah, thanks for the reminder… I should be in bed too.
G’Night.
Oh and GO STEELERS! Woot!
I so want to backpack around Europe!
Okay. How sweet is that? Flyboy sends you snail mail? Keeper! So cute!
Thanks for sharing.
Hey Susan, brie in front of the tower…I’m there right now, in my head. I so want to do that. Flyboy sounds fascinating…didn’t know he existed, your flyboy anyway! You sound so happy, that’s the best.
Ooh, Clifford’s. I used to work with a woman who used to date one of the owners. Yeah, I hear it’s pretty darn good. And hard to get in. But of course you’re on the A List! Loved reading this.
