Got Jesus?

My oldest, bestest friend ever sent me some emails today that absolutely made my day. Below are the excerpts, hope you enjoy them as much as I did...

"Had a king cake at work today. Ever seen one? ICK! It looks like someone barfed Mardi Gras. It is REALLY cool though! It has all sorts of stuff smushed into it, like goblets and a crown, and a mask. Best part is THERE IS A BABY JESUS HIDDEN IN THE CAKE! Can you imagine anything more sacreligious than chomping on the Lord! I already put dibs in for the kid. Technically, whoever finds the Saviour whilst chewing the hideous mass of sugar and cinnamon gets good luck and the responsibility of bringing the kings cake the following year. But our little Christ is popping out of the cake (oops!) so it isn't a surprise.

Gotta go check on the status. I might have a baby Jesus waiting for me!"

And then 2 minutes laterthe ultimate email...

"SCORE! Got JESUS!"

Thank you T for always always always making my day :)

Ok I'm a sucker

I never really could pass these kinds of things up so here goes my Four Things...

Four jobs I’ve had

2. Retail clerk at Bath and Body Works
3. HR Coordinator
4. Data Manager
   

Four movies I can watch over and over

1. O Brother Where Art Thou
2. Bull Durham
3. Fried Green Tomatoes
4. The Incredibles
   

Four places I’ve lived

Hrmm this will be hard since I've always lived in Maryland, so let's do cities

1. Laurel
2. St. Mary's City
3. Columbia
4. Olney
   

Four TV shows I love

1. Top Gear
   
2. How I Met Your Mother
3. Good Eats
   
4. Mythbusters
   

Four places I’ve vacationed

Again very hard, but only because we like to travel.

1. Australia (Just the Southeast corner, we're going back some day for the rest...)
2. Slovakia
3. Russia/The Ukraine (They spilt into bunches of little countries now, but they were all still Russia when I was there)
4. Scotland (because it's still my favorite)
   

Four of my favorite dishes

1. Chicken South of the Border (secret family recipe)
   
2. Nillson Chicken (same as above)
3. Lasagna
   
4. Anything Andy cooks so I don't have to
   

Four sites I visit daily

1. Dooce
2. Amazon
3. Yahoo's Most Popular
   
4. Petfinder (I like looking at pictures of the puppies)
   

Four places I would rather be right now

4. San Juan, Puerto Rico
   

Four bloggers I am tagging

1. Danielle
2. Laura
3. Angie
4. Andy (Sorry babe, you don't really have to do it)
   

Sometimes I wonder...

Why on earth did Andy pick me?

He's amazing with computers. His Dad is amazing with all sorts of musical instruments. His Mom is a world-class bag-piper. His middle brother takes the most wonderful pictures. His little brother writes fantastic poetry....

I sort of stick out like a sore thumb.

I guess I can always smile and look pretty.
