Nothing better than a meme to do while waiting for a bag o' chemo and some graphic details.
This one came via Kim. Tag I'm it.
Four jobs I've held:
- Conference Coordinator/Receptionist for a private foundation. Was my favorite job I've ever held. I learned how to be a good boss here. And then when I was the boss (at another place), I was a really good one.
- Marketing Secretary for Pepsi in Austin. Got lots of cool stuff and got to plan some really interesting events. Went to Tahoe with clients for a Superbowl party. Big time blast.
- Dorm Housekeeper for the Dallas Cowboys during summer training camp in Austin. I quit after one day because they were some nasty dudes. Then I worked security which was much more sanitary. Although I did carry Troy Aikman's helmet and shoulder pads. He was nice and fairly sanitary too.
- Senior Managing Editor - (current job) environmental remediation firm. Basically I read about toxic waste for a living. It's a good gig actually and I miss it. I read documents written in "engineer-ese" that go to the EPA and state regulators.
Four movies I can watch over and over:
- Moonstruck
- The Natural
- Bull Durham
- Jerry Maguire
(I guess this means I'm a sucker for romance and baseball?)
Four places I've lived:
- Anchorage, Alaska
- Austin, Texas
- Myrtle Beach, South Carolina
- Phoenix, Arizona
Four TV shows I love to watch:
- Project Runway - I'm with Kim on this one. Then I like to read the recaps on The Scarlett's and Manolo's sites. And then I check out the photos on the Bravo site. I'm addicted to high fashion. But I shop at TJ Maxx and Marshall's.
- Medium - I think Patricia Arquette is fantastic on this show. I like that it's not all about the icky crimes, and she seems like a typical wife and mom. Plus it's based on a true person, which is really cool to me.
- Rescue Me - Dennis Leary is great in this show. Some of the stories make me cry, but then they always have something that will crack you up.
- Martha Stewart - I'm not getting into her criminal history here, but I just really like her. She's always making some great thing or another. I'd love to look like her when I'm sixty. Heck, I'd love to look like her now.
Four websites I read daily (I read a lot more than four):
Maison Pants
Blogging for a Cause
Sarcastic Journalist
Piehole
Four places I have vacationed at or at which I've vacationed:
Mine are so not as glamourous as Kim's
Cancun, Mexico
New York City
Westpoint, NY
Denver, CO
Four favorite foods (just 4?):
- Pappasitos Grilled Fajita salad. I crave this. Daily.
- My Mom's potato salad. If I were on a desert island. Well I'd be sad, but I would want my mom's potato salad. It makes me happy. As does my mom.
- Steak. A great filet. Medium rare. Mortons, Pappas, Salt Grass, My Bro in Law #1. All cook a mean steak.
- My lasagna. It's bombdiggity. And weighs like 20 lbs. I amaze even myself with this. It's like a work of art. And takes about two days to make.
Four places I'd rather be (um. anywhere but this hospital room):
- Housewise - my "kholem" would be to be anywhere with my loves
- Creatively - painting with Zoe and Monkey Boy
- Consumerly driven - I want shoes. New ones. Stylish and sexy. And a few more sneaks
- Visually - Vermont.
Four peeps to tag:
I can't put that kind of pressure on anyone. But I think I should tag the chicas from SWLF. Or if you do it, leave me a message so I can check your fours out.
Posted by debutaunt at January 20, 2006 11:31 PMCall me when the lasagna is done.
Posted by: D at January 21, 2006 12:44 AMI highly recommend the steaks from Vic & Anthony's. I haven't been to Mortons in a long time, and I haven't met your Bro-in-law, but V&A puts all the others to shame. Although I would never, ever turn away a good filet. Mmmmmmm...
Your MT is upgraded. Your sidebar is still being nuts. That is probably thanks to CSS issues for some reason, or maybe blogrolling, but not MT. Oh, and by leaving this comment, I'm testing comments. :D

Posted by: Christine at January 21, 2006 03:12 AMdamn.
I am going to have to find that salad and try it.
Good Morning Deb,
Your wish is our command. I will post my list,
and get some of Sarah's sisters to do the same.
Now it could put you to sleep! I hope DAY 2 finds you dreaming about VT, eating at Mortons
with some HOTTIE, your daughter, UMA, life after
cancer, a day at the spa, I could go on...but
you get the picture.
I am not surprised you are a good boss!
PS. Ask your sister to check her email (please)
Posted by: Nikki at January 21, 2006 08:33 AMNumber 5! Here we go. You can do this, missy. I am thinking about you today - nothing but sunshine thoughts even though our weather is a tad bit grey.
Have a good one. Kick some ass for all of us today!
Posted by: sally at January 21, 2006 09:02 AMYo Nikki!
Email backatcha.

I am checking airfares to Houston right now. I am
drooling over the lasagna. I think I was Italian
in my first life. I laugh every time I see you
use the Yiddish words, so I am going to continue.
Class is in session:
Today's word: glik-which means happiness and luck. We all wish Deb a lifetime of glik!.
I will do my list tomorrow and we will get some
of the other "siblings" on the ball.
Love,
Shoshie
You are my #1 Student
Posted by: Shoshie at January 21, 2006 10:15 AMSpecial events planning would be so much fun, except for all the planning and organizing...! I prefer to think of myself as spontaneous, but I fear I'm actually disorganized. *sigh*
Great list! Oh, and my kholem is for some of that lasagna. ;)
Posted by: eclectic at January 21, 2006 11:21 AMI'm confused. I would have thought that Kill Bill 1 & 2 would definitely be on the movies list.
You must dish on the Dallas Cowboys.
Posted by: Trish at January 21, 2006 12:20 PMSo you're not much of a dessert person, huh? My 4 favorite foods would be AT LEAST half desserts. :) I'm really liking Project Runway too. Totally addicting. :)
Posted by: Ern at January 21, 2006 01:12 PMAre you ready for another one of us? Hi-I am Rachel and I am related to those other nut
cases you have met. Shoshie, and Lisabeth are my real sisters. I have been reading your blog and you are incredible. You can add me to your loyal reader group. We will help you rock the house
and rid your house of cancer.
Don't share any food with Shoshie she will
eat more then her share-trust me on this I
know.

Posted by: Rachel at January 21, 2006 02:02 PMI loved reading your meme. Much glik.
Posted by: karen at January 21, 2006 03:08 PMI did this one earlier in the week, though my answers will probably only be good for putting you to sleep...

Posted by: alan at January 21, 2006 04:25 PMMucho glikosity to you! I love the word glik. Thanks friends of Deb.
Posted by: Kim at January 21, 2006 06:14 PMI did the meme and posted it on my blog for today. (No HTML allowed in your comments, huh?)
P.S. Four words I love: tranquil, lustrous, glitter, glik. ;-)
Posted by: karen at January 21, 2006 06:27 PMCame by way of Susie, just wanted to say hang in there and take care.
You sure have lived in a wide variety of places, I can only sadly say that I have lived in either WI or IL my whole life..
Posted by: JessicaRabbit at January 22, 2006 02:09 AMEnjoyed reading your blog, and your meme. I hope all goes well with you. :)
Posted by: Julia at January 22, 2006 02:14 AMHello DEBUMA:
You didn't think we were not going to have class
today did ya? Since it's Sunday and I know you
are Catholic and YOU normally would be going to Mass today. But I bet they have a priest that makes the rounds at the hospital. I hope they stop in and see you and give you a blessing today.
In addition to all your cyber blessing and prayers.
Todays Yiddish word for you is an easy one
and one that applies to you. The word is
Shana-and it sounds the way it reads.
Shana means pretty. And you know what we do.
Of course you do we put it in a sentence for you.
Debuma is shana both inside and out.
Love,
Shoshie
The Yiddish Teacher.
And I will do my homework assignment today
or tomorrow.
Popping in to say hi. Thinking of you!
