A Game of Tag

I was tagged by Jill !
~

4 Jobs I've had:

Newspaper carrier: It was back in the days of after school routes, not an early morning route. My first paper route was in a residential area, covering a couple of streets. My second route was inside 2 neighboring apartment buildings, so I just had to leave the stack of papers outside the elevator on each floor, and walk down the hallways dropping papers outside the apartment doors.

Cleaner: I cleaned the public areas of one of the apartement buildings where I delivered newspapers. Laundry rooms, rec-rooms, hallways, exterior glass doors, and one bathroom (ick).

Receptionist: At my dad's office during the summer. Whenever a secretary went on holidays, the receptionist would take her position and I'd work in reception. This was a major upgrade from cleaner.

Dental Hygienist: I'm back to being a cleaner again. I work 1 day per week, and I enjoy it, although I did have the most discusting patient of my 16 year career just last week (ick).



4 Places I've lived: Ha! I've only lived in 3 cities!


Edmonton, Alberta: I was born here, stayed till I was 2 1/2.

Calgary, Alberta: I spent my preschool years here.

Lethbridge, Alberta: Kindergarten through 12th grade.

Edmonton, Alberta: For college. Met my husband there.

Calgary, Alberta: My home for the last 15 years.

4 Favorite foods:

4 Places I'd rather be right now:


Heading to Utah: in time for the blogger's reunion.

In a clean house: so where I actually am, only better.

Down in Fish Creek Park: It's cooler than my street even though it's only a few blocks away.

Writing-on-stone: if I'm gonna be hot, might as well be having fun.

Thanks for playing Barb, I hope it wasn't too much of a pain for you. It's fun to read these things and get to know these random facts about people.

Are the Milano cookies you love the Mint Milano's made by Pepperidge Farms? That seems like a fun good mail item to know about.

I wish you were headed to Utah for the blog party too!

Hmm, I did not know you didn't have Milanos there. We can set up some sort of trade. Milanos for Canadian wheat thins or something. :)

I'm working on my tag post. It's taking me longer than I thought.

Amy said...

I love hearing the random facts. Very fun. I did not know you were a dental hygienist...and I'm also a mint milano's fan.

Michelle Alley said...

So true! It would be fun to go to the bloggers party. I love Emma! I am currently hoping to import some hostess cupcakes - I haven't found them here yet!

Elizabeth said...

Hmm, I love Milano's also.
I love how we just keep getting to learn more about each other.

I'm totally stealing the blog party idea for my list. That is really where I want to be on Sat! Dang family reunion!

And really are there people that don't like Milanos?

This was fun to read about you - and I didn't know you were a dental hygienist did I?
I won't even ask what your icky patient was like. I CAN imagine!
