Four Fun Things (About Me!)

By 57 Comments

So Ashley recently tagged me to play along in a fun little survey, and since you guys probably already know I’m a sucker for surveys, I most definitely had a play along. Thanks, Ash!

Four names that people call me other than my real name:

  1. Court
  2. Cuppy (this is what I called myself when I was little and couldn’t say Courtney)
  3. Coop
  4. Mama/Mom

Four jobs I’ve had:

  1. Cashier at Grand Union (high school)
  2. Worked as an associate at Fashion Bug (high school)
  3. Elementary School Teacher (grades 1, 2, 4, and 5)
  4. Personal Trainer

Four movies I’ve watched more than once:

  1. Airplane
  2. Elf
  3. Love Actually
  4. Wedding Crashers

Four books I’d recommend:

  1. Gone Girl
  2. Something Borrowed
  3. The Devil Wears Prada
  4. Love the One You’re With

Four places I’ve lived (this one doesn’t get too exciting…)

I’m sort of skipping this one because it can be narrowed down to: my parents’ houses growing up (2 of them), my college dorm room at The College of Saint Rose (2 of them), and my current home. I’m a bit of a homebody.

Four places I’ve been:

  1. St. Lucia (on our honeymoon…take me baaaaack)
  2. Riveria Maya, Mexico (again, take me baaack)
  3. Greenough, Montana (for Glamping!)
  4. Las Vegas

Four places I’d rather be right now:

  1. On a beach
  2. At a resort pool with a swim up bar
  3. Anywhere warm and without snow (boy I have a long winter ahead of me!)
  4. Home…in my PJ’s. Preferably in bed.

Four things I don’t eat:

  1. Mushrooms (unless they’re diced/chopped suuuuper, super small)
  2. Olives
  3. Veal
  4. Anything with a spice level about “medium” (<—I’m improving, I used to be strictly mild only!)

Four of my favorite foods:

  1. Ice cream
  2. Cheeseburgers
  3. Pancakes
  4. Pizza

I sound so healthy, don’t I? Winking smile

Four TV shows I watch:

How do I only choose four? I’m a TV junkie and watch more than that, but 4 of my favorites would have to be:

  1. Nashville
  2. The Blacklist
  3. Modern Family
  4. New Girl

Four things I’m looking forward to this year:

  1. Christmas! Being able to celebrate with family and seeing how Lucas reacts to everything this year since he was so little last year.
  2. Decorating for Christmas (I may do it earlier than normal this year…)
  3. Thanksgiving – and eating all. the. things.
  4. Baking Christmas cookies

Four things I’m always saying:

  1. Oh, really?
  2. Wherrrrrre’s Lucas??
  3. Where did I put _______? (I’m always misplacing things)
  4. I love you!

The survey is supposed to end with me tagging four people to answer these questions, but I’m always really bad with that, so I’m going to just ask all of you! Pick a category or two from above and share your four answers!

    Love Actually is one of my favorite movies along with Clueless, Top Gun and Garden State. I used to despise olives as well until we traveled to Italy and I tasted the most amazing olives ever! Such amazing taste, nothing like what we have here.

    Totally didn't know you used to be a teacher, that's so crazy! My top 4 phrases right now are probably: * I'm so wrecked. [That means super tired, just in case it means something else elsewhere?!?] * I'm so excited for Christmas. [For realz so excited!] * I'd love a cup of tea right now. * Sorry I'm late! [Eh yeah working on fixing this...]

      Awesome answers! Where did you stay in St. Lucia?? And working for a US Senator's Office? I envision that is being either super interesting or really boring lol...?

        We stayed at the Sandals Grand St. Lucian. We kind of wished we had stayed somewhere else, but it was still nice. Depending on the day the Senators office was either super interesting or boring. LOL I wasn't in DC, I was in a regional office, so it wasn't really crazy, but it could get kind of stressful.

          We stayed at the Sandals Grande St. Lucian as well, but we loved it and have raved about it ever since. When did you go? We went in 2010...I wonder if things have changed??

            We went in January of '08. We liked it, and I loved the spa. We wished we could have explored more of the area easier.

    Places I've been: 1. Disney World, Florida 2. Castaway Cay, Bahamas 3. Nassau, Bahamas 4. Cozumel, Mexico I'll go back to ANY of these places (Though, I didn't like all the cat calling in Cozumel. Anything to get customers to their stores, I suppose. I also got offered pharmaceuticals on the street there! THAT was weird!)

    Haha! I totally say, "Where did I put ________" ALL the time too. I'm definitely losing things everywhere I go. I think I've always been that, but I've noticed it's become way worse since becoming a mom. ;) When do you think you'll decorate for Christmas? I'm slowly chipping away at it already. I'm just too excited. Plus, Thanksgiving is kinda late this year, so I decided why not?!?

      I think I might start this weekend! I was telling Jay on Sunday that I wanted to start next weekend and he looked at me like I had 5 heads. But I had the same argument as you...Thanksgiving is late this year! Have to make the most of it :)

    So fun! I love that you worked at Fashion Bug! Lol totally forgot about that place and how much I loved it. I'm going to go with Four Things I'm Always Saying: 1. That's awesome --> even when something really isn't that awesome. lol bad habit. 2. Where are we going to eat? --> Always the one out of my group of friends making a sure a meal is tied into our plans Lol 3. It's a ponytail kind-of day --> my flat iron is probably collecting dust 4. Can I see a dessert menu? --> I'm sure you can relate!! :)

    I love Something Borrowed, both the book and the movie! It's probably my favourite movie, I've seen it at least 50 times ;) I'm still reading Love the one you're with! 4 places I've lived: Oxford, England Chicago (in the city) Chicago suburbs Cambridge, England Technically only 2 countries but still 4 places ;) I'm only 17 and people find it so weird that I've lived in 4 different places already!

    I also despise olives and mushrooms (yet I love mushroom soup?). I'm looking forward to holiday baking! We live in a high rise with a bunch of amazing door people, so I'm planning to make a smorgasbord of holiday desserts and gift them :)
