Ok..this was a little difficult. There's a line from a song by Sheryl Crow that I love, and remind myself to live by when things get tough. So, I'm going to try and condense it to make my six words:
Want what you've got, not want.
Okay here are the five people I am tagging:

A Meme for Monday
So, I was tagged for this meme. I'm sitting here, with it already being 100 outside at 10:30am, watching "The Other Sister" on FX, and wanting something yummy for breakfast.
Four jobs I've had:
1. Customer service rep at a teacher supply store. I started in high school, 1997, and lasted 2 years. This was the longest job I've had, and the one I loved the most.
2. Clerk Typist at IVROP. I also enjoyed the job, when I actually had work to do. I paid out the checks for gas reimbursement for CalWorks participants who had a job.
3. AVID Tutor. Gotta love working with the high schoolers. It kept my determination to teach, but to teach elementary school, so I can get to them before high school! LOL
4. The best job of all: Mommy. My 24/7 job I've held for 6.5 years... that right now, I'm on vacation from (kids at grandma's) and I'm going out of my MIND!
Four movies I could watch over and over:
1. 50 Frirst Dates. I watched this again yesterday on USA. I can't get enough...Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore are so cute together. :)
2. Any of the Harry Potter movies. On TV or DVD, I will sit through the entire 3 hours of each movie :)
3. Any of the Pirates movies (DUH, right?). Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow...need I say more?
4. It's hard for me to think of a 4th movie, because there are lots of movies I'll sit and watch when they're on TV, but don't own on DVD: Where the Heart Is and Steel Magnolias are two that come to mind.
Four places I have lived:
1. Omaha, NE -- I was about 6 and that's where my sister was born.
2. Grand Forks, ND -- Again, I was a kid, but man, thinking about the snow makes this heat a little more bareable.
3. Vallejo, CA -- where I was when my kids were born.
4. Imperial Valley, CA -- Niland, Calipat, El Centro, Westmorland -- I moved there after my divorce, and MAN, I am so glad I'm out of there! :)
Four TV shows I like:
1. Survivor -- it's like a train wreck...I can't stop watching it!
2. The Amazing Race -- I would love to do this show...to travel all over the world. With my luck, though, I'd be eliminated after the first leg :P
3. Friends -- gotta catch the reruns! If I were to get all the seasons on DVD, I would watch them constantly!
4. Desperate Housewives -- I love catching up with the women of Whisteria Lane...sometimes, my life is better, and sometimes, it's an escape from my crappy life!
Four Favorite Foods:
1. threeundertwo mentioned sourdough bread. I would have to agree. I could definitely use some fresh, hot sourdough bread right now :)
2. Pizza -- it's so versitile...and a great way to get my kids to eat veggies!
3. Mexican food -- mmm...I think I'll run to the taco shop for lunch :)
4. Italian food -- dang....now I'm really hungry!!!
Four Places I Would Rather Be:
1. Disneyland -- I'd get some Mexican food and a margarita from DCA!
2. San Francisco -- right on the wharf...I'm sure it's not over 100 degrees on the water!
3. San Diego -- closer than SF, and still probably not as hot :)
4. WDW -- while it's hot and humid, it's still Disney!
Four People I'm Tagging:
Hmm....since I was tagged by an LPer, and she tagged two other LPers on my list, too, I guess I'm going to have to hit up my other friends.
1. I Love my Punky Monkey's
2. Mommy to 2 Princesses
and, oh, what the heck...I'm tagging you anyway
3. monkey memories
4. Although Life May Choose the Music, I Choose the Dance
