I've been "double-tagged".

So there's this game of tag going around the blog world as many of you know. I got tagged twice- so instead of leaving 4 answers for each section, I am giving myself the liberty of 8. Okay here goes...
List {4} jobs you have held:
1. Worked at the YMCA childcare room...and after that decided I never EVER wanted to have kids. In fact, I made my hubby agree a hundred times to that before I accepted his marriage proposal. (Now here we are 5 kids later, hmmm.)
2. Waitressing- from Baker's Square to Byerly's (graveyard shift I used to wait on Prince's drummer & guitarist), to Timberlodge Steakhouse (where Hubby & I met) to Paninos- (on Rice Street in Roseville, MN or Arden Hills- check this place out!!, to Champp's, to TGIFriday's to Pearl's Bistro (where I waited on John Walsh- America's Most Wanted & Cindy Crawford once). Wowsers. I think I even left a couple places out. I have done my time serving people...and for your information- made a LOT OF TIPS too!
3. Office assistant at Interlachen Country Club in Minneapolis.
4. DOing graphic design/layouts for small print shop...that's where I grew to LOVE fonts!
5. Currently I am "Event coordinator" at a Golf CLub, where I work weddings and other functions when they are scheduled- it keeps me very busy on the weekends all summer.

Name {4} Places you've been on vacation:
Okay, my list just got shortened from 8 to however many I can recall. You see, outside of traveling back to MN to see relatives it's been a LOOONNGG time. In fact, other than being flown and put up in a hotel overnight to tape the Oprah show (which doesn't even count as a vacation) Chip & I haven't been away from the kids for 9 years. I know, I know. I've heard about what Dr. Phil thinks of people like us- but either I've been pregnant or nursing- or we've had serious health issues that have made it all but impossible to go somewhere. Anyway, tomorrow we are going to try to head down to Cedar Rapids, IA for the weekend to go to a friend's BDay party. Again, not really a vacation- but we will get away from the kids for more than 6 hours. All I know is I better not turn up pregnant after this!
Okay. Back to the places...we did spend a few days at the American Club in Kohler, WI. I HIGHLY recommend this place. It was awesome for our family the first Christmas after losing Teagan. Also, we honeymooned in Kauai, HI, we've driven from northern Michigan to Scottsdale, AZ with 3 kids in carseats. I guess vacations will come as our kids grow a bit. Hopefully.

Name {4} websites you check out each day: Here I could just list a bunch of blogs...that's pretty much what I do online...then I click on links to cool places from the blogs I read. Here they are:
1. Cathy Zielske's blog (She's the first blog I ever read and I'm still reading her!)
2. My own blog (Always gotta check out if there's comments or anything going on)
3. Elsie Flannigan's blog (She's young, funky and how I wish I could have been at her age...except maybe not married at her age.)
4. Stacy Julian's- Big Picture Scrapbooking.com (This one is stretching me.)
5. Katrina- Being 30-something (Lovin' my lipbalm friend!!)
6. Greta- vintageliving4me (Her thoughts are always, well, thoughtful.)
7. Heidi Swapp's blog (She's funky, lovable and I just love pink & brown too!)
8. Ali Edward's blog (She and I are almost polar opposites- but can't help but love her love for art and creating...wish I had her studio space & stuff to play with.)

And now, I'm supposed to tag {4} more people...but since I'm going away for the weekend and I won't be around to check up on all them, I'll just stop the game here. But, if you like, you can list some of your favorites in the comments. I hope I find a way to enjoy my weekend instead of worrying about my kids the whole time. Actually, I'm more worried for Rachael!! Wish us all luck!
