Telemarketing….”Good morning. This is Alisha from QRS, are you a full time employee? Great I have been asked to contact the business people, here in the Mansfield area, and since you ARE a fulltime employee you will receive the next 60 months service of McCall’s, Working Woman, Movie line, and Elle”….wow, I still remember that from umm….94??
Waitress: let’s see….Pizza Hut, Cheddars, Cracker Barrel, Olive Garden, Bucks, Lonestar, umm Capn’s Corner (lol) or did I just roll silverware?? I forget lol
Detassled Corn: for a few summers….good money for a young kid. Didn’t like getting up and on the bus at 0’dark thirty……but it was all right
US NAVY: 12 years and counting……still can’t believe it’s been that long.

Four places I have lived:

We won’t count all the places I lived BEFORE I JOINED THE NAVY….but since then-
Virginia Beach, VA
Sardinia, Italy
San Diego, CA (ahh, love it)
Nobi, Japan

Four places I have been on vacation:

I have been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to travel extensively while in the Navy….but VACATIONS per say??
Oklahoma….every year of my childhood. Pawnee Bills anyone? Worlds of Fun on the way? How bout Merrimack Caverns?
London- me and a friend of mine in the Navy flew up there from Italy back in 2001. LOVED LOVED London!
Maui- yeah, it was with my ship, but it was amazing. The road to Hana is by far one of the coolest road trips ever. Las VEGAS!!- Love me some Vegas…..went there numerous times while I lived in San Diego….each trip was special in its own way…Mom and I going was sooo fun….the last time I went…was pretty spectacular. And oh, me, and 8 of my girlfriends going for my 30th birthday….Good times for sure!

Four of my favorite foods are:

Moms Fried Rice (mixed with applesauce) mmm.. I dunno…when I was little the applesauce mixed in with the rice on accident and ever since the two HAVE to go together. Lol
Cottage Cheese Yumminess- ½ c Low Fat Cottage Cheese, ½ c Frozen Blueberries, ¼ c raw oats (or Bran), 7 raw almonds, 2 splenda packets….DEEE---LISH!
Home Made Chicken Noodles… the ones Gramma Bir made “from scratch” lol Warm Spinach/Artichoke Dip- or any creamy, cheesy, fattening dip for that matter. Crab-Lobster dip—etc etc. YUM….”Dip It GOOD”….(some of you know of my genius restaurant idea)

Four places I would rather be right now:

At my mom’s house, decorating for her BIRTHDAY…helping her cook for Thanksgiving…then helping decorate for Christmas *sigh* ON LAND—considering as I am typing this, I am currently OUT TO SEA (but just for a few more days) lol
In San Diego- for lots of reasons.
In a house that’s conveniently down the street from those I care about….family, friends, etc…..(wow, I am asking for a lot, huh?) J

Four topics that I NEED to blog about sometime soon:

How crazy busy work has been and WILL be!!- both good and bad
Holiday stuff….including pictures of all my festive décor I will be putting up in a week or two
More Random Japanese sightings…. Umm….I dunno....any requests??
