More Meme Fun

This is a meme that went around a little while ago and I thought it was really fun to read about other people so here it is about me:

Jobs I've gotten paid for:

1. Carillon Square movie theater employee - this was my first job and I loved it!!
2. Golden Coral Buffet - this was short lived, but while it lasted I got to ring a bell every time I took hot rolls out of the oven.
3. Kohler's bakery - this was an okay job, but kind of lonely cause all the bakers left around 10am and I was by myself for the rest of the day behind the bakery counter.
4. Auto Meter - I was an assembly line worker. I put little computer chips and registers into circuit boards for race car and race boat tachometers. Sounds like a lot of fun doesn't it?? *said in a very sarcastic tone*
5. Janitor at the BYU Art Museum - I actually really loved this job. I got to spend lots of alone time with great art while I cleaned!
6. Burlington Coat Factory - I worked with a couple of friends from my movie theater days so this was a fun job for me.
7. Kencraft candy factory - I was again an assembly line worker, but this time I made little gum ball caterpillars day after day...after day....after day...
8. Carillon Square Movie Theater assistant manager - this was a very brief stint. I had agreed to do this to help out my friend, Bill, who had gone from being a bellman at the theater when I worked there to becoming the general manager and he needed a temporary assistant manager so he called me up. Thank goodness it was temporary - it was my second job during the time that Adrian and I were engaged and it really cut into our blissfully engaged cuddle time.
9. First Security Bank Teller - I really enjoyed this job. I love the smell of money! And I got to teach a lot of BYU freshmen how to balance their checkbooks, which was challenging at times, but I had fun with it.

My Guilty Pleasures:

1. Americas Next Top Model and a slew of other lovely reality shows (Top Chef, Project Runway, Top Gear...)
   
2. Edward...uh I mean, vampire novels/movies/TV shows (thanks Julia for the heads up on Moonlight - I love it!)
3. Chocolate - especially Lindt Lindor Truffles
4. Sleep in days

What were likely the 1st things you thought when you saw your significant other for the first time:

1. He's cute and he's such a nice guy! (1st time I saw Adrian was when he home-taught me for the first time - we were in the same Heritage Halls ward at BYU and he was my home teacher.)
2. I'd like to marry someone like him. (It's funny because that night I actually wrote in my journal that I would love to marry a man like Adrian someday because I thought he "glowed" and just exuded love and goodness. Ahhh... I was smitten right from the beginning. :))
