Caro tagged me, sooooo....
Four jobs I’ve had in my life:
- Telemarketer-- (yup, in my youth I was one of those annoying people-- though I only called folks at work, where you know, most didn't mind the interruption)
- Vice President (of a marketing company)
- Part-time Editor (of a drama anthology while in college/a labor-union publication while pregnant with Joseph)
- Childbirth Instructor/Birth Assistant (Doula) -- Next to being a mom, best job I ever had.
- The Princess Bride
- Brazil (1985 Terry Gilliam film)
- Strictly Ballroom
- Napoleon Dynamite
- Massachusetts (born and raised)
- Chicago, IL
- Wisconsin
Four TV shows I love to watch:
- Arrested Development-- Best. Show. On. Television. (Boo... and it's gonna be cancelled)
- Alias (Cancelled. Do you see a pattern here?)
- Survivor (I blame my mother-in-law, who got me hooked last year-- and given the pattern above, may live to regret it)
- David Letterman (when I have the energy to stay up and watch) I love this man.
Four places I have been on vacation:
- Portugal
- Athens/Crete
- Jakarta, Indonesia
- London
Four of my favorite foods:
- Dark Chocolate. The darker the better.
- Lox with Cream Cheese, Tomato, Red Onion & Capers on a Potato Bagel
- Indian Food (i.e., Sag Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, Samosas with Chutney... all of it!)
- A Fluffernutter (pronounced fluffa-nutta) . . . well, only if the kids are having one ;-)
- Bloglines (where I read updates from all of the blogs linked here)
- Salon.com
- The rest kind of vary from day to day as there's not much time to visit elsewhere...
- Some place warm
- . . . really, really warm
- Did I mention the warmth?
- And yeah, sipping a warming libation would be nice too.
OK, I tag:

Gah! You got me!
Fluffanutta! My mother was so cruel that I didn't have one of these delicacies until I went off to college.
Y'know what's disgusting but good? Fluffernutter with banana slices. Oooey gooey yumminess.
I can't stand peanut butter, but Marshmallow Fluff and Nutella is gooood!
It is probably as well that Marshmallow Fluff is not very readily available in the UK. I could easily just eat it straight outta the jar... the whole jar!
Caro,
Apparently the fluffernutter is not widely known outside of New England.
And, for a while I thought you couldn't even buy Marshmallow Fluff in Wisconsin because, silly me, kept looking for it near the peanut butter.
Wasn't til I stumbled on it in the baking section that I realized it's here-- folks just don't know how to use it.
Don't worry, I've made sure that the kids and their friends know the joy of eating a fluffernutter.
And Julia,
Your mom-- cruel, indeed.
Sandra, Brzil was such a wickedly odd movie. I must admit I have seen that one at least 3 times!
As for all this tag, I must admit I feel a little out of the game but it looks fun!
Sandra, I used to work with a nurse that was from CN. She loved Fluffernutter and was appaled that you couldn't buy it around here. The next time she went home she bought some and made me a sandwhich with it. I'm sorry to say, I'm not a fan of Fluffernutter. She loved it though and would eat fluffernutter and peanut butter sandwhiches.
Johnboy,
Anyone who's seen Brazil at least 3 times must be tagged.
And Penny,
Surprises me that you weren't fond of the fluffernutter (aka peanut butter & Fluff sandwich)... hmmm... maybe it's an acquired taste.
Sandra -
I grew up in Minnesota, and we enjoyed fluffernutters all the time when we were kids!!!

Fluffernutters with banana slices ... delicious and only 244,653 units of Humalog per sandwich!
And I could watch Napoleon Dynamite dance until my last breath. Makes me laugh like a loon every time. (A la "Uzi", eh? One of my favorite comparisons so far!)
You are going to be a hard act to follow. After reading your Top 4's, I realize I am the most boring person on the face of the earth, LOL.
It's going to take me a while to think of some good stuff to post.
I literally had to look up what a fluffernutter was .... not sure how many canucks out there know what that is - but now that I know - I must try it! You buy the marshmallow fluff in the junk food isles here - right next to the ice cream cones and chocolate/strawberry/caramel ice cream toppings. Why there?? I have no idea, I've never put it on ice cream before ......
My teeth hurt just thinking about it .... :D
Ellen,
Check out Candinas, a local Swiss-trained confectioner who makes some of the best dark chocolate truffles I've ever tasted... a bit pricey, but you will thank me.
Sandra, Thank you SO much for your support of my blog sweetblood. I have been checking out my favorite d-blogs (yorus included) in my 'time away' but just keeping quiet. But as I said, I am back now and have tons of ideas for more posts!
Melissa
I LOVE Arrested Development! But I heard it was recently given a reprieve and wouldn't be cancelled...unless it's just wishful thinking on my part!
happy Thursday! :-)
