My buddy Christine over at We Run Disney tagged me in an “all about me” post and while I usually don’t do these, this one was so fun and I SO enjoyed reading everyone’s answers that I thought I’d give it a go. 🙂 So here it is:
Four names that people call me, other than my real name:
- Court
- C-Dre – this came about in college and has stuck through law school and beyond
- Ms. Courtney – usually my former coworkers – as in “uh, oh..time for some real talk with Ms. Courtney”
- Mrs. Carter – my new name 🙂
Four jobs I have had:
- Server – I waited tables all through college and LOVED it! I also was really good at it 🙂
- Ice skating rink attendant. This was actually my first job – it’s where I learned how to ice skate.
- Camp counselor. Woo. I won’t do that one again!
- Nielsen customer service rep. Yes, Nielsen the people who track TV watching habits. I worked the customer service for them one summer in college. It was really fun and interesting to learn more about how TV stats are gathered.
Four movies I’ve watched more than once:
- Love Actually
- Harry Potter (all)
- Love and Basketball
- The Little Mermaid (my fav and I probably watched it every day for a year when I was younger!)
Four books I’d recommend:
- A Time to Kill
- We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow… an amazing book about the Rwandan genocide. So important and powerful.
- The Bible. Read it. Learn it. Live it.
- In Her Shoes
- To Kill a Mockingbird
Four places I have lived:
- Birmingham, AL
- Southern California
- Denver, CO
- Atlanta, GA
Four places I have been:
- Dominican Republic
- New York City
- San Francisco
- Seattle
- Las Vegas
Four things I don’t eat:
- Mushrooms
- Stinky cheese
- Vanilla flavored cupcakes
- Beets
Four of my favorite foods:
- Bacon
- Pizza
- Pineapples
- Bread
Four TV shows that I watch:
- The Walking Dead
- The Amazing Race
- Pretty Little Liars (no judgment!)
- Scandal
Four things I am looking forward to this year:
- Running in fun places
- Planning another vacation
- Celebrating our first wedding anniversary
- Attending my cousin’s wedding in Vegas
Four things I’m always saying:
- The struggle is real
- So I’m running this race…
- Hi sweet pup (to my dog)
- Seriously?!
I’m not tagging anyone in this but I’d love to hear your answers to these questions!
edited to add: Um, I just noticed I gave FIVE answers to some of these. Ooops! Thank you all for being gracious and not pointing out my mistake 🙂
So glad you jumped on the bandwagon…i don’t usually do these either, but it was fun. Curious….why no vanilla cupcakes?

I love kids but don’t love having to manage them – I was so wiped out everyday! I was with toddlers – they ran 18 year old me ragged!
Haha, I say “Seriously?” all the time. It’s normally followed by, “Ashton Kutcher, am I being Punkd?”. I like these posts!

I just watched Love Actually for the first time this weekend! And yes, I’ve been both a server and a camp counselor, and I totally agree that the camp counselor was WAY harder!

me tooooo!
So fun! I also worked as a skate patroller and as a waitress. I think that everyone should serve tables at some point in their lives – I think it has really helped me to develop customer service skills and compassion. I vowed to never be like the rude jerks I served 🙂 Cheers!
