We've Been Double Tagged

Martha and Ashlee tagged us so we're splitting up the fun. We will both answer Martha's questions so you get double the pleasure. Since our blog is a bit of a newbie, we will fake our way through Ashlee's questions. Don't judge us.








4 jobs We have had:
Honey Bunch:
A Dental Assistant right after I graduated high school (CRABBY dentist!)
B Preschool Teacher during college (I loved this job)
C Retirement Community Manager (The Most fulfilling by far)
D Business to Business Sales (Made the most money but wanted to slit my wrists due to crazy stress.)

Sassy:
A. Cobbler: Really. I repaired shoes and since I'm only 5 feet tall I was called "Elf" on more than one occasion. I shamefully quit that job with no notice. I walked up to the lady and apologized profusely then ran away. I'm serious. I ran away.

B. An Advocate for the Housing Department for a Native American Tribe here in Northern Michigan. I loved this job, got to do some real community organizing, felt to some extent I was making a real difference. But I didn't have job stability so I left.

C. Youth Services Coordinator at a very large national social service organization...that also has thrift stores. I worked with my hubby in a program we helped create that taught at risk young people how to start a small business. It was great, the kids were great, the program was great but the social service leadership...not so great.

D. Accounts Director for a international Technology company. I love who I work with, I enjoy my work and have lots of fun. I also get to be creative which is important. It's not very social worky but I can do that in my free time...free time?? Who'm I kidding?

Tag, You're It
Here are the Instructions:

Go back through your archives and post the links to your five favorite blog posts that you’ve written under the following categories: Family, Friends, Who Am I, Freestyle Blogging...unfortunately we haven't been blogging long enough to really satisfy all these categories without stretching so we modified a bit.

1. FAMILY: This post seem to get the most emotional reactions and just as many comments. Its the post about my visit with my very ill father and my mother, his ex-wife.

2. FRIENDS Big Mama and Boo Mama are blogging rock stars. These two have become friends with each other in real life and now have a podcast, which is pretty darned funny. Though neither of us are friends with them, Sister Honey Bunch pretends she is inside her head.

3. WHO AM I? Well, we don't have this written yet. This is a future post. It will be a series called "Tales from the Cult". You'll have to stay tuned to learn about growing up all culty and stuff.

4. WHAT SISTER HB LOVES Relaxing Sundays hanging with my boys.

5. FREESTYLE BLOGGING(Sister HB's Blog of choice)
Sassy's favorite blogs that HB has written: You're Mean, Super Mean!

Thanks so much for play tag with me! I didn't even realize you guys were new to the blog world. You do such a good job with it, I guess I assumed you'd been doing it for a while. :0)

BTW...I have the D50 Nikon camera and LOVE it! It's almost considered one of my children. :0)
