1. The smell of clean laundry make me happy.
2. I've lived in six states and feel most at home in the desert.
3. I started wearing glasses in 2nd grade and contacts in 8th. I'm not a candidate for LASIK, so will probably wear them until I die.
4. I've tried out for Jeopardy, The Amazing Race, and American Idol, but didn't make it on any of them...yet
5. I involuntarily went through natural childbirth...not once, but TWICE.
6. I played volleyball, softball, and ran track in high school. I miss volleyball and softball SO MUCH.
7. I dream of traveling to New Zealand some day.
8. Playing the piano relaxes me. I love just sitting there for an hour or more on Sunday nights and playing until my fingers get tired.
9. I've worn the same toe ring on my right foot for 10 years now. I bet that toe will look really funky if/when I take it off.
10. My favorite date night is tennis with Andrew...even though he wins every single time.
11. Andrew is convinced we're done having kids. We might be, but I'm not so sure yet.
12. I am the official lawn mower of the family. I even mowed up until I was 38 wks prego with Caroline.
13. I have 148 college credits, but only an associate's degree. Reminds me of Tommy Boy: "A lot of people go to college for seven years. I know. They're called doctors."
14. I'm on a waffle kick. Most mornings for breakfast, I toast a whole grain eggo and spread peanut butter on it.
Mmmmm.Peanut butter waffle.
16. I decided I wanted to be a dentist when I was in 5th grade. I stuck with that major through my freshman year of college, then made the HUGE change to dental hygiene.
17. When Andrew retires, I hope we can go on missions together for our church.
18. I love reading out loud to my kids. I usually try to give at least one character a British accent.
19. I get a great sense of accomplishment out of assembling furniture and toys.
20. I have a problem with remembering my age. It was easy until I turned 27. I got stuck on that age for a few years and now I just keep forgetting. Am I 31? 32? It all runs together.
21. I fell in love with gelato this summer and can't find anywhere around here that sells it. Any local friends have an inside scoop to share with me?
22. On my 11th birthday, I got a terrible bloody nose and actually bled out of my eye. Ewww.
23. When I answer the phone I say "Hi" instead of "Hello." It throws a lot of people off. They think they're getting my voicemail.
24. When I started dating Andrew 12 years ago, I thought I had found my dream guy.
Turns out I was RIGHT!
I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Every time I smell laundry being done, I think of you. Probably always will. I can't wait until my back gets better so that we can start playing tennis again. Fun list! Thanks for sharing.
I just read your list on facebook - I'll just reiterate that your bath-thing cracked me up, and I don't remember how old I am either. Loved your list! (I did it, too, last week - mines in my "notes" tab on facebook)
Ditto on the British accents. Right now we're on the 2nd Chronicles of Narnia, tons of accent time there.
And baths? I agree, I don't like leaning on the walls of the tub, even when I've just cleaned.
#4... I have beaten the odds of qualifying (multiple times) to be on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and yet never getting called to be on the show.
I feel your pain! :)
I love baths. I just try no to think about the filth part.
Oh my gosh it so throws me off when you answer the phone by saying hi. It took some getting use to!
Interesting list. How do you feel about hot tubs?
Over the holidays, we had gelato in Wake Forest (the town, not the campus). Not exactly local, but it is only a teeny tiny road trip.
And the shop is darling. They have guitars, chess and checkers to play with.
Grandpa--I had my hesitations about the hot tub. But the rest of the family convinced me to keep it and I've become a believer. At least I know all the chemicals in there are killing the germs. :)
Jayne--Thank for the tip! Next time we head up to see Dr. Buckley, I'll have to get the name of that shop and make a detour.
Good evening
This post was interesting, how long did it take you to write?
