My 25 Things

Here's to all my friends who tagged me. Hope you enjoy!

1. I get really irritated when someone takes the last of something in the kitchen. i.e. last Dr. Pepper or the last piece of pie
2. I will take my camera to social events without ever taking it out or even thinking about taking pictures so it often goes unused.
3. One of my favorite things continues to be going to starbucks, ordering a vanilla latte (or lately it's been toffee nut latte) and sitting there reading for hours.
4. If I start a book, I have to finish it. Even if I have to put it down for years, I will always go back to finish it.
5. I like the volume to be on an even number, whether it's the television or the radio. If I notice it isn't, I will try to sneak and change it, even at a stranger's house.
6. I find it hard to think of things to answer questions like this. I've been at this for 15 min already, but I only have 6.
7. When I write e-mails or letters to friends, I always have to make sure the punctuation or spelling is correct. If it isn't, I either apologize for it or go back through and proofread again and again to make sure it's as correct as I can make it. Or I try to justify the errors with creative liberties.
8. I want to take a roadtrip around the country visiting as many of my friends in different states as possible. I just need to find the money.
9. I feel weird if I don't wash new clothing before I wear it.
10. I secretly want to buy an iMac, but I don't think I'll be able to justify spending the money on it.
11. Vacationing in Europe is my new favorite thing to do.
12. I collect music boxes.
13. I have read more than 10 books in the last 5 months.
14. I'm a firm believer of the phrase "the more the merrier".
15. Favorite fast food: Chick-fil-a. Surest way to cheer me up or butter me up: bring me Chick-fil-a.
16. I have a new found love of Texas football. I'm pretty sure Texas baseball is next.
17. I can't wait until I get to visit New York City again someday.
18. I saw my first Cirque du Soleil show on my last visit to Las Vegas. LOVE. I recommend it to anyone who wants to see something weird and trippy but set to great music.
19. I hate to iron. It's just lucky I'm a teacher . . . don't need iron only clothes to do that.
20. I love love love fruit. Any and all kinds. Mmmm good.
21. My dad just got a new amp with surround sound and new speakers. It seriously makes ALL movies fun to watch at home.
22. Nutella is a gift sent straight from God.
23. Bike riding scares me. I used to be quite good at it. Now I suck. I'd like to have words with whoever made up the phrase "it's just like riding a bike, you never forget". Apparently, I've forgotten.
24. My new favorite thing to bake is homemade cinnamon rolls.
25. Board games/card games are a good way to pass the time. (thanks for the reminder, Chels)

1. Ok, the last Dr. Pepper I can understand because you can always buy more, but the last piece of pie...? Are you supposed to bake another one first, or are YOU just always supposed to get the last piece? ;)

3. YEEEEEESSSSS!!!

5. You are a freak. In a good way, though. :)

11. YES WE CAN!!!

24. Recipe, please.

25. Zug um Zug or Phase 10, anyone?

Ok, I could have commented on all of those but I chose to spare you most of it. Loved the list! Love you!

She is just supposed to get the last piece... or at least it needs to be addressed... it's really ridiculous.

Wow, you are a weirdo... haha just kidding. Sadly, all of your weird things have become endearing (probably because we no longer live wit each other haha).

Love YOU!

p.s. sorry I meant to say "with" not "wit"

p.p.s. see we're not THAT different :) (haha we totally are just not on the punctuation part)

... and I still love you... and your idiosyncrasies/flaws... haha.
