Fact...

1. I was born in Singapore.

2. When I was one 1 accidentally ate dog poo. (I'm still considering suing my mother with a case of neglect... Just Kidding Mom!)

4. I love Jesus Christ.

5. My favorite outfit is jeans, t-shirt and flip flops.

8. I am an aspiring writer.

9. I was born on April Fool's Day and everyone thought I was going to be a boy.

10. I love to visit the airport.

11. I am always looking to do something spontaneous. (Example: showing up in a billiards hall for my friends birthday in a ratty chicken costume and not telling anyone who I was for a good 45 minutes.)

12. I think the funniest word in the English language is the word "Fart."

13. I love gummy, chewy candy.

14. I only wear one contact lens in my right eye. And my glasses are prescription for my right eye only as well.

15. When I wear my glasses I look like Tina Fay, from Saturday Night Live and Thirty Rock.

16. Have a thing about noticing people's hands.

17. I like the smell of gasoline and musty basements.

18. I like things that go fast but I hate roller coasters.

19. I am a natural born encourager to everyone, but I'm very hard on myself.

20. If I could suggest one thing that you should buy it would be a Nalgene Bottle. You need to drink more water and these bottles are my favorite!

21. I prefer French Press over drip coffee any day.

22. I'm a die hard fan of hot coffee even in in the heat of summer.

23. I love Michael McDonald's voice (yes from the Doobie Brothers)and I don't care how cheesy that sounds.

24. I have slept on my left side my whole life and so my face is slightly crooked to the right just a tad. (but I think I'm the only one who notices this.)

25. I hate having my feet touched.

26. One of my favorite sandwiches is whole wheat bread with peanut butter, shredded carrots, alfalfa sprouts and sunflower seeds on it.

27. I love big dogs. I act like an idiot around them. I should be embarrassed about this, but I'm not.

28. My idea of lots of fun is making children laugh at me and they do.

29. My closest friends are very opposite of me. More reserved, quiet(er) with a dry sense of humor. I appreciate this about them because I will never be that way.

30. If I could describe myself in one word it would be this: Neon....as in John Mayer song 'Neon'.

31. If I could pick an animal that most resembles my personality it would be the Energizer Bunny.

32. I once walked to school with cotton balls taped over my eyes while my friends led me all the way to school because I wanted to know what it would be like to be blind.

33. I am right handed, but I cut with my left and kick with my left. Whenever I pick up a baseball bat, tennis racket, golf club, or Frisbee, I am neither left or right handed, I am both. This is very confusing in my brain.

34. I have gone cliff jumping, but I would never go bungee jumping. (Go figure)

42. I like the way food tastes cold. Like cold leftovers.

43. I have a poor sense of smell.

44. I have an excellent sense of touch.

45. I love animals...sometimes maybe too much. My friend hit and killed a bear on accident awhile ago. I was more upset about the bear than him.

46. I love getting text messages, but I find texting back annoying because I'm slow.

47. I am the oldest of my three siblings...I like it that way.

48. My best feature is my... I don't know. My worst feature is my skinny calves. I can run and lift weights and they still stay skinny.

51. I have a 'thing' about linens. I love them crisp and clean.

52. I love slippers and bathrobes and coffee in the morning.

53. I like it when people play with my hair, which never happens anymore. Unless my little cousins want to play with it and then it feels like they are ripping my scalp off, but hey, I'll take what I can get.

54. I can't stand it when people give me weak hugs and hand shakes.

55. I love the smell of bleached whites fresh from the dryer.

56. I am too shy to wear a bikini in public. I feel like I'm walking around in my underware! I always wear a tank top over it.

57. I love getting Real Mail, like letters or cards...that sort of thing.

58. Word of encouragment do wonders for me.

59. Up until I was 9 I chewed my nails constantly and spit them out. Then my mother bribed me that if I stopped biting them, she would buy me a piece of real jewerly. Her bribe worked and I still have the garnet ring today.

60. I kinda think that my spending so much time here thinking about myself is vain, so that's enough of this!

Rating Christmas Presents

Most unusual gift: I got a toy. Yes. I recieved a plastic loom and hook weaving kit for making doilies and potholders. (Don't ask.)
Funniest gift: Buying the first season of Baywatch on DVD for my brother. (Just kidding) Getting him all three seasons of The Office.
Most practical gift: A new pair of slippers.
Most delicious dessert: Chocolate and peanut clusters that my little cousin made.
Most disgusting food: Nothing. I ate everything, twice.
Goofing off in pictures with my cousins and laughing so hard. Especially after a very stressful and exhausting few days since the deaths of our grandparents... Priceless.

The Little Girls List

I love to make lists. I probably make lists at least 3 or 4 times a week. It keeps me organized and I have a love of organization.

Even as a little girl I was making lists. Lists about where I was hiding all the candy in my room. Lists about the man I wanted to marry. School Lists and The Sears and Robuck Catalog Christmas List to name a few.

I came across this blog and remembered that I wrote a wish list when I was a child of all the things I could possibly want. I saved it. I must have written it in the mid-80's judging by the wording. I couldn't have been more than 10 years old. It is written in blue pen and written in fat cursive writing, which was popular with all my friends at the time.

It's pretty amusing. It goes like this...

I have a huge room. In it is a...
stereo, boom box, tape player, recording player, CD player, phone line, answering machine, one huge bay window, two regular windows, air conditioning, full bathroom, Jacuzzi, hot lamp, two dressers, desk, vanity, half a wall mirror, revolving closet, 21 shoes, 15 pants, 21 shirts, 25 sweaters, 17 hats, 8 coats, 10 gloves, 18 dresses, 5 jewelry boxes, King size brass bed, four mattresses, bed stool, king size rocking chair, 5 bathrooms, 10 slippers, 32 watches, diamond studded wallpaper, 58 porcelain dolls, terrace, craftmatic lawn chair, automatic nutritional breakfast that comes out of the wall to by bed. (I watched a lot of The Jetson's cartoon.)
A big screen TV, movies, tapes, VCR, Nintendo 23, Saga Genesis, 52 great smelling perfumes, silk sheets, gold door knobs, professional hair stylist that does not get paid, private maid and a limo to take me to school everyday.

I love this list. This little insight Inside My Head as a little Girl. I don't make lists like this anymore. (Thankfully!) Now my lists are practical. Lots of Grocery lists and To-do lists. So, here's my To-do list for today:

Read
Write (check!)
Go running
make pumpkin bread
take care of work stuff
fresh sheets on bed
make phone calls....
Be productive and proactive on day off!
