25 things and then some.....

Okay, I have been tagged on Facebook with the 25 things about me...blah blah blah, so I thought that I would post it on my blog.

1. I hate, with a passion, cottage cheese. When I was younger and my mom put cottage cheese out for our breakfast, I knew that meant it was going to be a bad day. I can't stand the sight of it and when people eat it by me, it makes me want to hurl.
2. Hospitals make me a bit woozy. I am getting much much better, but I use to go visit someone at the hospital, but then immediately insist on seeing the babies. I can handle babies!
3. I want to name a fingernail polish. I think it would be the coolest job ever.
4. I love things that set me apart from others.....funky colored tights, jewelry, the red streaks in my hair, my loud and sometimes obnoxious laugh etc. It's like my own signature style.
5. I want to join the Peace Corp. I have thought about it for sometime now. I always told myself that if I was still single by age 35 I would seriously consider it, but 35 is next year and I am not sure I would be ready. Maybe by 37!
6. I LOVE my Family. This doesn't just include the family Heavenly Father gave me, but also those that have adopted me as their daughter because my parents are gone.
7. I love that when something is funny to me, it takes me forever to explain what's funny. I laugh before I even get to the punch line. I love this because my mom did the same thing and so did my grandma. Sometimes heredity is wonderful!
8. I would like to be an interior decorator. I can't wait to have my own house. I already have most rooms, in my imaginary house, decorated.
9. I wish I wasn't so hard on my self.
10. I adore my friends. They accept me for who I am and love me regardless of my faults. Bless you.
11. I want a cat, but my roommate is allergic, so I am trying to convice my sister that her dog wants one! Is it working?
12. I cry every time I watch "The Bucket List" because Jack Nicholson looks like my pops and it makes me miss him like crazy.
13. I love dressing up....and it doesn't have to be just for Halloween.
14. I love sleeping in a cold room with tons of blankets on top of me.
15. I LOVE Neil Diamond. I have fond memories of dancing with my sisters in our living room. Also, One of my favorite memories of my mom was when we took her to see Neil. I think she was so excited that she almost jumped out of her skin. We had an extra seat this year and said that the extra seat was for our mom.
16. I desperately want to go back to Germany. I feel like Gertrude Stein, "American is my country and Paris is my hometown." I feel the same about Germany. I love everything about it.
17. I love, love to read. There is something so cathartic about it. It ignites my soul. I almost always have a book nearby. Those who don't like to read are seriously missing out.
18. I love men's choirs. When I was on my mission, I loved when some of the Elders would sing, "Beautiful Savior." It just didn't get any better than that.
19. Someday I want to wear a fancy red dress and go to a ball.
20. I am currently learning how to tap dance.....awesome!
21. I love going to the downtown Farmer's Market. I love being around so many different types of people, and the produce is pretty darn great too!
22. I want to own a California Cruiser. Those cute old fashion bikes. I would put a wicker basket on the front and ride it all over. I am pretty sure it would make me happy.
23. I wish I could write better. I really enjoy it, but know that it could improve. I definitely appreciate those that were blessed with that gift.
24. In my next life I am going to be able to sing and draw. Two talents I wish I possessed, but sadly don't
25. I get annoyed when people don't listen to me,but interrupt when I am talking.
26. I love pancakes. They pretty much makes breakfast worthwhile.
27. I want to live in Rhode Island.
28. I once gave Jaime Lee Curtis gum. A pretty cool story!
29. I have an obsession with lotion. I always have some with me. And, I only like Vaseline Intensive Care...the yellow bottle. I get Bath and Body Works lotion all the time and I just don't care for it.
30. I can't wait until I fall madly in love and have beautiful babies .
