5 Things about meme

Ok. So since I've been tagged for this "5 things about meme" thing not once, not twice, but three times, I suppose I am obligated to participate. I do appreciate that Quigs, Mommy Schiff, and Fearless Freak all thought of me, though. It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to think that I'm making some nice friends here. Or maybe that's just the hot specialty coffee I made for myself this morning. Hm.

4. Let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answer.

I was working at a BP station as a cashier, but really doing the assistant manager's job without the higher pay. I was playing summer softball.

I was the thinnest I had ever been in my life, and I was loving summer.
