Four Things

We need a happy post.

Four places I’ve lived:

Pittsburgh, PA (birthplace)

Buffalo, NY (I grew up here)

Silver Spring, MD (college time!)

Nashville, TN (now)

Four of my favorite healthy things to eat:

Roast chicken (either those crazy hormone-jacked up ones from the supermarket or one I make myself if I don’t freak out about the dead carcass)

Fancy salad (greens, pears, toasted pecans, strawberries, feta, and raspberry vinegrette - I eat it nearly every day)

Baby carrots (by the bagful)

Brown rice (mmm…so soft and chewy and nutty)

Four of my favorite not-so-healthy things to eat, but I can control myself:

Warm french bread

Cheesecake Factory Oreo Mudslide cheesecake (surprising, I know)

Chai tea

Sesame chicken

Four not-healthy-at-all things I cannot have in my apartment because I have no willpower:

Hollow milk chocolate bunny ears

Nearly all flavors of Doritos

Garlic bread

Chocolate oreo brownies

Four movies I watch when I’m feeling blue:

Finding Nemo

Love, Actually

To Kill a Mockingbird

Sense and Sensibility

Four movies I watch when I have lots of time on my hands (I have a short attention span):

Casablanca (running time: 102 minutes)

Gone With the Wind (running time: 238 minutes)

Finding Nemo (running time:100 minutes)

To Kill a Mocking Bird (running time:129 minutes)

Four movies I loved to hate:

Starsky and Hutch (everything else was sold out…EVERYTHING)

Fast and the Furious (reason number 236 why I broke up with my ex)

2 Fast 2 Furious (yes, I know I should have broken up with him earlier!!)

Wild Wild West (Worst. Date. Ever.)

Four movies I hated to love:

The Wedding Crashers (such a boy movie…so, so, so very funny)

Meet the Parents (oh, the pain we feel for Ben Stiller)

Starsky and Hutch (still hated it…but it was the first semi-official date with The Boy, so it gets special treatment)

Pirates of the Caribbean ("How far would you be willing to go to save her?"  "I’d die for her!"  "Oh, good!")

Four TV shows I’m not ashamed to admit I watch (can you tell I don’t get home until late and all the "quality" stuff is over?):

Grey’s Anatomy (SNIFF)

Desparate Housewives (Bree’s my favorite…no, Gabby…no, Lynette)

Arthur (What a wonderful kind of day!  Where we can learn to work and play!  And get along with each o-ther!)

I Love the 90s (Totally)

Four TV shows I curse myself for watching:

How Do I Look? (Curse you, Finola!  Curse you and your Collections!)

Fabulous Life of… (such trashy, worthless TV.  I love it)

Whose Wedding is it Anyway? ($150,000 just for the venue?  I’m eloping!)

Issac (so obnoxious, but I like his style segment)

Four albums I can’t live without (I’m strange):

The Rolling Stones: Forty Licks

Tie between Ace of Base: The Sign and Debbie Gibson: Electric Youth

John Mayer: Room for Squares

Vivaldi: The Four Seasons

Four things I hope to own someday:

A handbag I didn’t buy at T.J. Maxx for $12

Tahitian pearls

The perfect black dress

A car with airbags

Four small things I hope to do someday:

Read Ulysses

Watch Breakfast at Tiffany’s

Get into the advanced ballet class

Learn to cook…really cook.

Four big things I hope to do someday:

Way too many to list.  I’ll just have to go and do them.
