So far two of my blogging friends (Da Youth Guy and Marko) this week have participated in the "Six random fact about me" writing exercise, so in the pace of writing everyday for a month I thought I'd jump in on this meme. Join in as well and fill the blogging world in on 6 random facts about you too!
1. My middle name is Lamont. There has been a great deal of question concerning why and how I ended up with the middle name "Lamont". I was not named after the TV show, Sanford and Son. My Mom tells me that she had a friend in high school who was either from France or her parents were and her name was Lamont. Apparently, my Mom was impressed with with her kindness, sophistication, and uniqueness of coming from somewhere other than Irwin, PA. My first name was given for the song, "Tara's theme" from Gone with the wind. What a mix of culture, the American south and France. Now I just need to get to Paris.
2.My favorite foods are Greek. Baklava, Greek Salads and Chicken Souvalki. Sadly though, I'm not Greek.
3.My favorite childhood toy was my Raggedy Anne Doll. I took here with me everywhere I went up until she was lost in our move from Russell to our home in Youngsville. I sometimes think I'd like to get a new Raggedy Anne Doll to remember her by.
4.I've held the following jobs: Babysitter for neighbors kids, waitress at Perkins, graphic designer for two small print shops, Lead singer for Prime Minister, waitress/barista for John Willams European Pastry Shop, Retail worker for BMG Music, Waitress for Pasta Etc., Lead singer for The Bubble Gum Machine, Sign maker/artist for Wegmans Art Department, Youth Director for the TSA, Recreational Therapist for CFOP, Outreach and Worship Director for Westminster Presbyterian, Solo musician, free-lance writer, Teaching Artist for Arts Council, and currently Director of Youth and Family Ministry for First Lutheran. Whew..
5. One of my favorite ways to unplug from life's craziness is to go to the salon and get my hair done. It's like a reset button for me.
6. I live in a community that is greatly Italian, Swedish and Hispanic and I'm not any of these ethnicity's. I'm Welsh, Cherokee, Irish, French, Irish, Pennsylvania Dutch, German and probably lots more.
