• serving food at a burger/ baked potato place at Unversity. I don't recall the name of the joint, but I do remember that I was not very good at it.
• waitressing at the David Jones restaurant in Canberra's CBD. The worst customers were the DJ department managers.
• teaching Road Safety to all the primary schools in Canberra. Classic moment was when I drove the Road Safety Van, (with the words Road Safety emblazoned on every available flat surface of the vehicle, mind you) into a little old lady and her car at a roundabout. And it was my fault!
• being a SAHM and doing volunteer children's and women's ministry. Love it!

• to finish reading the 40 Days of Purpose book and then to keep reading books like it. Ones that will uplift me.
• to get better and more regular with Bible reading
• to get more organized
• to get rid of clutter

• Out of Africa
• Can't think of any more. I hate watching movies over and over!

4 places I have lived

• Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. a vibrant city.
• Wajir, a remote desert village in Kenya near the Somali border
• Kelafo, desert town on a riverbank in Somalia. Exciting times!
• Sydney, capital of NSW and very well known to tourists. I am a country girl though!
  
  
  4 tv shows I love

• Lost ( of course)

4 places I have vacationed at:

• Mombasa, an island off Kenya's mainland. I loved just about everything about these vacations.
  -Bega, the cheese capital of NSW, close to family , cows, cheese and the coast.
  -Queensland, just can't remember the names of the towns.
  -Wajir, the remote desert town we lived in for a year. My sis and were dying to get back, and jumped at the chance for a quick vacation there. (ooh I should speak for myself. I was dying , were you Robby?)
  
  
  
  4 websites I check daily:
  -My sister Robyn who I link to. She has the cutest kids and is a fantastic Mum. Whenever I read what she has been up to, I think, 'Wow that is a good idea, why don't I
  -Catbird, my new blogging buddy, who I link to. Most of what she writes, I go "yeah, I have feel like that all the time. Lots of insight and wisdom.
  -Sarangeti, who's mysteriously African- sounding name drew me to her blog, and I now check in on her daily. She has different themes and great photos!
• SleepingMommy. I have only started reading her quite recently, but she will not be blogging so regularly anymore. for good reasons though.
  
  
  4 favorite foods
  
• -African food. Most anything really. I love Somali meat samosas (pictured left) and I am putty in your hands if you promise me a meal of Ethiopian injera bu wat.
• -choc mint things... cookies, chocolate, probably icecream too.
  -choc peanutbutter things...mainly I have the peanut butter M&Ms (Aussies are not big on mixing peanutbutter and chocolate), but sometimes a guy from church passes on Reece's Pieces peanutbutter m&m things. Gorgeously melt in the mouth. And I still remember the taste of Butterfingers, twenty years on. MMMM.
  
• -The following Deli sandwich: Picture it: Lebanese bread halved and topped with the following marinated veggies : peppers (capsicum), eggplant, mushroom, and semi sundried tomatos. Top with slices of brie, lid back on and grill for a minute. Bellisimo!!!
  
  
  
  4 places I'd rather be right now.
  
• On a open ended safari in Kenya with my fam. Definitely!
• In a big plane. ( I love planes)
• In a caravan travelling around the States.
• In a caravan travelling around Oz.
  
  
  
  
  
  4 people I am tagging to do this:
  
• Hi sis!! :)
  
• I think Sarangeti has probably done one of these before. But if not, hi Sara! :)
  
• Hi Spindles! ( I'll leave Roly for you to tag!)
  
• I won't wake Sleeping Mommy, so only 3, is that alright?
