25 things.

You know you've seen like a million of your friends on facebook do it. And since I am sitting here with my very happy baby who isn't doing a whole lot right now, I am going to do it to. And if you haven't done it yet, you should probably do it so that I have something to read while I stay home all day. Thank you.

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

1. Kristopher asked me out that first time because he was cornered. What else can you really do when you get caught driving up and down someone's street?
2. 2 of my teeth are mostly fake. It's kind of like fake covering the real, because the real are too small to do the job. Someday, the fake will break (that rhymed, ha ha) and Kristopher will have a fatty dentist bill to fix it, or else he will leave me broken, and people will stare at me because I look funny. If he does that, my mom will be mad that she spent so much money on ortho to have me still lookin funny.
3. The little one is smelling kinda funky right now. Time for a diaper changing break.

...

4. I'm still in bed and it's 11am. I would get up, but since I cleaned the whole house yesterday and we don't have cable, and it's way too cold to take the baby outside, I am pacing myself so I don't run out of things to do before Kristopher gets home with the car. Such an exciting day!
5. I love breakfast foods. For any meal of the day. Some of my favorites are Swedish pancakes, crepes, and German apple pancakes. I like all of these foods a million times better when someone else makes them. Usually Kristopher does it, because he loves me =)
6. Even though I've graduated, I really miss going to school. I would love to go back. I never planned on getting a masters, but it sounds like fun now. Maybe someday when Kristopher is finished, I will take a class or two at a time and whittle away at another degree.
7. I read like a million blogs. Google Reader and I are good friends. While I am not a very good blogger, I am a way good blog reader, and a lousy blog commenter. I plan to be a better blogger and commenter, hopefully soon. I really admire a few blogs for their witty and real content. Reading them makes me want to be a better writer.
8. On a related note, I am a crappy speller. When looking through my photo albums with my family the other day, I came across old report cards and standardized testing results sheets. One one glimmering report card, there was nothing about a need to improve my spelling. On every other one, it was clear I needed some work. I am pretty sure the one that slipped by was because that was an obvious comment and the teacher didn't feel the need to state it. Obviously, spell check and I have become good friends.
9. I have the best mom on the face of the planet. If you don't know her, you should meet her. Some of the things she is really good at are making it a priority to know all of my friends- their names and things about them, making bad brownies, driving me around when I am lame and don't have a car, laughing, and sitting in the pantry. She is also really good a sewing, taking care of the baby, and serving (which she does like 90% of her day. The other 10% she is sleeping.)
10. My dad is pretty cool too. He is a PowerPoint, Illustrator, and Photoshop GENIUS. (self proclaimed).
11. I just spelled Illustrator wrong and had to spell check it. I told you.
12. I play 4 suite Spider Solitare at least once a day, and every now and then, I win.
13. I had the happiest pregnancy and delivery ever. Aside from being overdue, I really had no complaints. And now, I have the happiest baby. I know that I am spoiled, and that the tides may turn at any moment, but right now I feel like I could totally do all of that again.
14. This year is my golden birthday!
15. I really want to eat out today. Somewhere nice-ish. That has yummy bread or rolls or something for you to eat before your food comes.
16. I have a buy one get one card for Roxberry smoothies and I use it a lot. Probably more than I should, but I just can't help myself!
17. I really hate folding laundry. It's never ending and I hate it. But, I have resolved to be better at it from now on. Which totally explains why there is a load of clean dry laundry waiting for me in the dryer.
18. I am really craving like 14 different things right now. Included are breakfast foods (mentioned above), Tucanos garlic sirloin, and Italian food.
19. Yesterday I packed up all of my maternity clothes and swapped out my closet for normal clothes. I have about 4 things that fit me right now, but I guess all those clothes just begging to be worn will be my inspiration...
20. I dislike most condiments, sauses, and other superfluous things surrounding food. Generally I like my food plain and, in some people's opinions, bland. This mostly only becomes a problem when I am cooking a forget that other people do not share in my views. Gravy is a prime example of this.
21. When I was little, I wanted a My Size Barbie really bad.
22. My favorite number is 22, because that's the day I was born on!
23. I own a serger (thanks mom and dad!) and now I really want a sewing machine too. The one I want is 20+ years old and goes for about $1000, so that's not going to happen any time soon. But I do want me a sewing machine...
24. This year I am excited to dress Abby up for Easter and give her an Easter basket. I know she's too young to remember and definitely doesn't care, but she is going to look ADORABLE.
25. I love chocolate. Especially Reeces today, and I like Doves too. And like 14 other kinds. Valentine's Day is coming up, so that works out perfectly!!

Tag yourself!!

I know what you mean by wanting to go back to school... I had two kids and then decided to go back. Oh, well. It was fun to read all that stuff about you... and I'm trying to be better at commenting on bogs I read too. :)
