I've been tagged by Vintage Wine ... I'm infinitely grateful it's a "four things" tag and not the "thirteen things" tag I saw last week. I couldn't think of 13 foods, period - let alone 13 foods I adore.
Here goes:
Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Waitress
2. Butter Girl (not nearly as racey, or as lucrative, as it sounds...I worked at a lobster restaurant; my job was to pour the little cups of butter)
3. Lawyer (WAY less fun than being the butter girl)
4. Writer
Four movies I could watch over and over:
1. Secondhand Lions
2. Bull Durham
3. How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days (aka, "Trish: The Early Years")
4. The American President
Four places I have lived:
1. Kennebunkport, ME (highlight: The Beach)
2. Philadelphia, PA (highlight: The Philly Phanatic)
3. Washington, DC (highlight: not being a lawyer anymore!!!)
4. Montreal, CAN (highlight: discovering this)
Four things I like to do:
1. Laugh
2. Read books with great metaphors and unusual use of adverbs.
3. Watch reruns of The Gilmore Girls and pretend I'm that smart & well-dressed.
4. Sleep.
Four of my favorite foods:
1. Guacamole (continuing the trend started by Vintage and Julie ...do you think it might be avacados, rather than love, that brought us together???)
2. Sushi
3. Lobster (Steamed. There is no need to be baking them, or putting them on the grill. That's just weird)
4. Linguine with Pesto (partially because I can't spell fettechini)
Four Places I would like to be right now:
1. The beach in Maine
2. A 50% off sale at any Ann Taylor
3. Backstage at The View to hear how things are really going with the regime change
4. NYC
Four websites I visit daily:
1. My own (I like to see who is stopping by - but also my webmistress has been known to "decorate" my picture with a mustache from time to time. I need to keep on top of that)
2. Despair.com (okay, maybe not everyday - but when I need a laugh, this never fails)
3. Television Without Pity (the place to go when you need SOMEONE to agree with you that Rori can do soooo much better than Logan)
4. Nancy French's site (as I mention on my website, Nancy is my new favorite Republican. I cannot wait for her book to come out next month - and she called me the most reasonable person in Cambridge... no one has EVER said anything like that before!)
Four places I have been on vacation:
1. Turks & Caicos
2. Puerto Rico
3. Sanibel Island
4. Altoona, Kansas
(Everybody sing, "One of these things is not like the others...one of these things just doesn't belong...")
Four friends I think might respond:
1. Nancy
2. Swishy
3. Manic Mom
4. Andrea
And there you have it.

Your four favourite foods...mine all the way.
Add a little hummus and we're done!
I don't know, is Altoona, KS just as bad as Altoona, PA?
PS
Thank you. ;)
Altoon KS makes Altoona PA look like a roiling hotbed of excitement.
Three blocks wide; seven blocks deep. Main street is a dirt road.
(But my amazing friend Christine is there, so if you look it up in one of those arial views on googlemaps, I swear, the dusty little town GLOWS)
Fun list.
I have to wonder why so many writers are lawyers or ex-lawyers.
Chocolate martinis. Eww! My sister likes those. I think they taste like spiked Hershey's syrup. I'm more of a sangria girl.
Thanks for taking the time to answer them! I enjoyed reading it :-)
Guacamole is so yummy! What`s love compared to that? ;-)
Oh I get it! It's ANN Taylor - not LORD & Taylor!!!
And I think it's so sad that a math/physics/computer sci major is telling a WRITER this...but...it's fettuccini!
Butter girl. That's classic. I think I just figured out my next heroine's occupation...
They have such a thing as a butter girl? No way!
OK, and "Trish: The Early Years"? I DIED laughing at that part. That sounds strangely similar to "Swishy: The Current Years" :)
I love your four fav foods!!!! and I adored How To Lose a Guy In 10 Days!
Camy
I don't think I've lived in four different places...do different houses in the same town count?????
The butter girl job still can't stand up to my stint as a waitress at a self serve contienantal breakfast bar. I'll see you at high noon.
I did this list with a group of friends about a month ago. Was surprised I only had four jobs to fill in and two of them were internships!
Visited Sanibel Island this year--beautiful! And I could go for a 50% Ann Taylor sale too. The Loft is a little more in my budget.
