Four Things About Me

This was a forward I received from my sister. Here are 'Four Things About Me'...

Four Things About Me --- Holly Dressel

A) Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Cashier/Food Prep @ Donutland - my first job at age 15!
2. Customer Service Rep @ a Marketing Company
3. Waitress (part-time for 2 years to help supplement my full time job at a non-profit)
4. Training & Recruiting Coordinator (my current position - still at the non-profit...but making more $$ - no need to waitress still!)

B) Four movies I would watch over and over:
I don't watch too many over and over again now...but as a kid/teen/young adult I'd watch...
1. Grease
2. Footloose
3. Sound of Music
4. Gone with the Wind

C) Four places I have lived:
Iowa (born in IA, lived there total of about 10 years of my life)
Colorado (for about three years - kindergarten through 3rd grade)
Texas (as a pre-schooler and then again for a couple years in elementary school-no accent!)
Minnesota (my current home-state...have lived here for about 8 years now!)

D) Four TV shows I love to watch:
1. Lost (my #1 favorite TV show right now)
2. Grey's Anatomy (#2 fav)
3. Little House on the Prairie
4. Nearly anything on HGTV

E) Four places I have been on vacation
1. Ireland (just got back from there 2 days ago!)
2. Sausalito/San Fransisco, California (honeymoon a little over 1 year ago)
3. Kenya - for mission trip and vacation - went on an awesome 3 day safari too!
4. Portland, Oregon to visit my friend Jen

G) Four of my favorite foods: (none of the following I can actually eat right now on my current diet-I'll live vicariously through the past!
1. My husband's wonderful Garlic Mashed Potatoes!
2. Mom or Hubbie's chili (yum!)
3. Ice Cream - my fave? Ben & Jerry's 'Everything But The...' mixture of several of their star ice cream flavors
4. A new fave - my friend Leah's Irish mum's homemade Bailey's Irish Creme Cheesecake

H) Four places I would like to be right now:
1. Some exotic and warm overseas location - like a beach in Southern Italy or something!
2. Hangin' with my sistah's and brotha
3. Sleeping in a hammock outside in a warm peaceful location
4. Playing with my dog in a HUGE dog-park, again - somewhere warm (can you tell I am freezing anyone?)

New Year's Eve 2006 - Pictorial Review

I decided to do a Pictorial Review of New Year's Eve 2006...it started with our first real snowfall (at least South of the River) - which was PJ's first experience in snow...ever! He loved it, barking at the snow falling from the window - and he tried to eat ALL the snow on our deck!

Later I braved the somewhat slippery roads (ahh what am I saying...we're Minnesotans! We can drive in feet of snow!) and headed off to a New Year's Eve Party held at the home of Amy Vogland with some of our closest friends! It was a blast (even though poor Roberto had to work late and arrived with about two hours to spare before the final countdown!). It was a mini-birthday party, as Amy fixed birthday cakes for all of us celebrating a December birthday. how thoughtful! Hope you enjoyed my New Year's Eve 2006 Pictorial Review!!!

SUMMARY OF MY LAST YEAR ON THE COMPUTER

My mom sent me the e-mail below...and it was cracking me up! Read below...and I'll bet you'll smile a time or two!

SUMMARY OF MY LAST YEAR ON THE COMPUTER
I must send my thanks to whoever sent me the one about rat poop in the glue on envelopes because I now have to use a wet towel with every envelope that needs sealing.
Also, now I have to scrub the top of every can I open for the same reason.
I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl (Penny Brown) who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time.
I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates/Microsoft and AOL are sending me forparticipating in their special e-mail program.
I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me, and St. Theresa's novena has granted my every wish.
I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.
I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day
Thanks to you, I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward an email to seven of my friends and make a wish within fiveminutes.
Because of your concern I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains.
I no longer can buy gasoline without taking a man along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm pumping gas.
I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr. Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans.
I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer.
And thanks for letting me know I can't boil a cup water in the microwave anymore because it will blow up in my face...disfiguring me for life.
I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could be pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.
I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.
I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually Al Qaeda in disguise.
I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support ourAmerican troops or the Salvation Army.
I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number for which I will get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica , Uganda , Singapore , and Uzbekistan .
I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.
I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.
Thanks to you, I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my butt.
Thank you too for all the endless advice Andy Rooney has given us. I can live a better life now because he's told us how to fix everything.
And thanks to your great advice, I can't ever pick up $5.00 dropped inthe parking lot because it probably was placed there by a sex molester waiting underneath my car to grab my leg.
I can no longer drive my car because I can't buy gas from certain gas companies.
If you don't send this e-mail to at least 144,000 people in the next 70 minutes, a large dove with diarrhea will land on your head at 5:00 PM this afternoon and the fleas from 12 camels will infest your back,causing you to grow a hairy hump. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbor's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's beautician...
Have a wonderful day....
A South American scientist from Argentina , after a lengthy study, hasdiscovered that people with insufficient brain activity read their e-mail with their hand on the mouse.
Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late
