Anybody else feel like this week just sucked the life right out of them? 
I just never really got a good flow with life this week. Luckily it’s the weekend and I have an extra pair of hands to help me (makes all the difference, no?). We have a pretty chill weekend lined up so I’m excited to get a few things done around the house before next week’s holiday. I have a feeling it’s going to be crazy at the coffee shop so I want to try and get ahead on paperwork and payroll.
So I’ve seen this quiz floating around in blogworld lately and it looked like fun so I scooped it up. If you blog and want to play along, I’ve created a blank copy at the bottom of the post – just highlight, copy and paste right over into your own post (remember to link back so I can get a ping and go read!). Here goes….
Friday’s Four Things
Four names that people call me other than my real name:
- Linds (friends)
- Mama (Kids)
- Babe, Lover (Travis)
- Punkinhead (my dad)
Four jobs I’ve had:
- Summer Day Camp counselor (first job)
- Fat Buddies waitress (during high school….flippin’ LOVED that job!)
- Healthcare Consultant (after college….my degree is in Health Administration & Policy.)
- NASM-cpt/group fitness instructor (now)
Four movies I’ve watched more than once:
- Love Actually
- Princess Bride
- Sleepless in Seattle
- Little Women
(Honorable mentions: You’ve Got Mail, Royal Tenenbaums, Pulp Fiction, Star Wars (NOT the newer ones), Office Space, Casablanca and White Christmas. Gosh I LOVE movies!!)
Four books I’d recommend:
- The Best Yes
by Lysa Terkeurst
- Created To Be His Helpmeet
by Debi Pearl
- Little House in the Big Woods
by Laura Ingalls Wilder <-actually I recommend the entire set – Clara can’t read yet but this is already on her bookshelf.
- Crazy Love
by Francis Chan
Four places I’ve lived:
- Franklin, NC
- Chapel Hill, NC
- Westminster, CO
- Chattanooga, TN
Four places I’ve been:
- Las Vegas
- Yellowstone National Park
- Vail, CO
- Destin, FL
(sadly never out of the US. That needs to change ASAP!)
Four places I’d rather be right now:
- Colorado (a piece of my heart will always be there – good thing Blend 2015 is back in BOULDER next year!)
- Anyplace warm! Why is it so cold already?!?!
- Anywhere that lulls Porter into sleeping through the night. He’s on a strike.
- I can’t think of a fourth. I like being right where I am (which is currently standing at my kitchen table, listening to Henry read his Astronomy lesson).
Four things I don’t eat:
- Fast food. There are two exceptions and both from McDonald’s: vanilla cone and an egg mcmuffin. Yum.
- Olives.
- Those little mini corn things that you find at the salad bar. What ARE those?!? Gross. That’s what they are.
- Most squashes. I just don’t. The texture or something.
Four of my favorite foods:
(again…why do I have to narrow this? too hard.)
- Eggs (in any form).
- Cereal.
- Froyo (duh – I own a froyo shop!).
- Grilled chicken (boring but I could pretty much eat chicken for any meal…just goes with so much.)
Four TV shows I watch:
- Scandal (our current fave)
- Gilmore Girls.
- The Office.
- Parks & Rec.
Four things I’m looking forward to this year:
- Continued growth in my MoveMore groups!
- Continued growth in my relationships (family, friends, God)
- The upcoming holidays! (and our traditions…)
- Ringing in another year with Travis.
Four things I’m always saying:
- Stop.
- Quiet. (or shhhhhhhhh!)
- Please (we’re big on manners over here).
- I love you.

Caroline @ The Little Things Blog says:
I’m really loving Scandal right now too! Right now I’m listening to the Divergent series on CD while driving, and am really enjoying that!
Bonnie says:
I just did this one too! (for more fun responses, check out my blog 2 posts ago – I love learning these things about each other!) One food I love? LICORICE! Red and black together in my mouth, please. And a book I love that I forgot to link to in my post: “Love & Respect.” We listened to the audio book on a long drive right after our marriage and talked through every fight we’d ever had and it has been super foundational to our marriage. I highly recommend it (I’m sure you’ve heard of it in Christian/church circles but man I’ve shared it with people of all faiths because it’s so good).
Haven’t commented lately but always read. Love ya, friend!
