Been tagged?

I am playing hooky. Well, actually, not playing, but taking advantage of a day off. I was attacked by the flu on Saturday night. I NEVER get the flu. Oh well, I didn't go to class today and I am not working either. So, instead I am watching Friends and cleaning everything in our apartment. However, I sat and took a break at the computer. While I was perusing blogs, I read Kim's most recent post of facts about herself. I then saw that she tagged some folks, my name included. I am not sure if I am the Erin she intended to tag, but I decided to respond anyway.

Four jobs I've had:
-Professional lawn mower (thank you Deby)
-Babysitter extraordinaire (I added the extraordinaire to make it sound fancy)
-Administrative Assistant
-LCC student rep

Four places I've lived:
-Quincy, IL
-Lincoln, IL
-Normal, IL
-Nairobi, Kenya (over 6 weeks counts, right?)

Four TV shows I love:
-Friends
-Smallville
-LOST
-Gilmore Girls

Four places I've vacationed:
-Branson, MO (John would be proud)
-Siesta Keys, FL
-Amboseli, Kenya (Ol Tukai Lodge for my 21st birthday safari soiree)
-Italy and Greece (technically, that was a "study tour" but I like to pretend it was a vacation too)

Four of my favorite dishes:
-My mom's macaroni and cheese; I just can't get it to be perfect like hers
-Shrimp
-Can cake be a dish? I say it is, so my grandma's cake
-The best chicken ever

Four places I'd rather be right now:
-I won't say working, but I would rather not be sick right now
-I will also copy Kim and say my hot tub
-Kenya
-On a warm beach with the sun as my blanket

Four sites I've visited today:
-Google
-MSN (Academy Awards articles)
-Hotmail
-Blogs

People I'm tagging:
-Anyone who wants!

Okay, I need to go hit the laundry room. Not only is being sick a pain, but it is costing me valuable laundry money!

It's All or Nothing

It's official. Come August, I will be a resident of Chicago's south side.

I have switched programs and will now do my year long PDS (Professional Development School) in Chicago. I am very, VERY excited to see what comes from this experience. God came through (as always). Everything fell into place at the right time. I have a place to live...actually, two options now. Housing was the only thing holding me back and now I have choices. It is going to be a great year, I can just feel it. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.
