NOLA Notes

Wendy tagged me for this meme. Here goes:

4 jobs I’ve had: PBX Operator and Front Desk Sales Representative (known as an FDSR, catchy, heh?) at 2 hotels in New Orleans, a sales clerk at a hardware store (TrueValue rocks!), a law clerk at two law firms, then a lawyer at two law firms with a stint of consulting at a CPA firm thrown in there.

4 movies I could watch over and over: Harold and Maude (good soundtrack, too), Arthur (favorite movie EVER–I can quote almost the whole thing: “Girls, girls, girls. I love girls. Bitterman, stop the car!” Want me to continue?), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (love the book, too) and Ed Wood (instantly turned me into a Johnny Depp fan).  Why do all of my favorite movies have names of people in them???
4 TV shows I watch: The Office (reminds me of my time spent at the CPA firm), Top Chef, Heroes, and Best Week Ever.

4 places I have lived: New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Gainesville (FL) and Metairie (LA). I am a NOLA woman–love it, can leave it but can never stay away.

4 foods I love: savory, salty, seafood, and coffee. That’s good enough, right?

4 favorite colors: (why is this important?) lavender, pink, red and brown.

4 places I would love to be right now: NYC, home on my sofa (wait, I am there! Lucky me!), Denver, and NYC (yes, I love NYC enough to list it twice).

4 names I love but could/would not use for my children: Genevieve (too long, and I don’t like Ginny), Eloise (too close to another name already in the family), Randsom and Anastasia (ok, those last two were favorite names of a friend of mine and I am stealing them since I am at a loss).

I am tagging the following four bloggers: Bayou Belle over at My Bayou View, Joanne over at The Laidback Buddhist, Katie over at Overflowing Brain, and Sunny over at Babble From a First Time Mom.
