4's

I've seen this done on a few blogs I visit, so I thought I would play. You go to your picture files, find the 4th folder, then the 4th picture. This is what I found:



Pretty random, eh? I guess that is the point. This picture was taken over the 4th of July weekend 2005. We were at the IL's church for our nephew's baptism (he was born 5 weeks early, he wasn't even supposed to show up until then). That is Uncle Nick, and I think he's taking a picture of Emma--before the nephew showed up she was the only grandchild/niece on that side of the family. I was also 35 weeks pregnant with Leah at the time. This was also one of those rare occasions where all of dh's family was home together. It happens about once every 2-4 years or so, but it is always fun when all the kids are home. Now there are 4 grandchildren/nieces/nephews to spoil.

So here is the next picture in the folder:

Emma looking at the picture Nick took--what did we ever do before digital cameras and instant gratification? Can you remember when you took pictures, waited for the roll to be finished, sent it in, waited 3-4 days for it to come back, then saw the pictures? Things our kids will never know.

Some more 4's
A) Four places I go over and over
Target
Fareway
the Mall
the library

B) Four people who e-mail me regularly
Victoria's Secret (seriously, its multiple times a day--and I don't shop there much)
Hungry Girl newsletter
Charles Schwab
ISU Alumni Association
I do use e-mail, but honestly I use my phone or IM more. As you see, most of the e-mail we get is because we are on some list. The pesky viagra people e-mail me all the time, too.

C) Four of my favorite places to eat
Hickory Park
Great Plains
Macaroini Grill (haven't been there in a long time)
anywhere where I don't have to cook

D) Four places you'd rather be
sleeping in bed still
shopping without kids
on vacation
Hawaii

E) Four TV shows I could watch over and over
Seinfeld
Ed
ANTM (I just like to see the pictures at the end)
I Love the 80's and 90's shows

And speaking of 4's . . .
We have a small investment account that we started a number of years ago. It has a few individual stocks and mostly mutual funds. Let's just say that hubby and I would never be cut out for wall street, we can't pick stocks worth a darn. We recently bought stock in a company that dh could've worked for. It is rumored that this company may have to declare Chapter 11 bankruptcy, so the stock's worth at close of yesterday? Forty-nine cents. Ye-ouch.
