25 Things About Me

So, I'm putting off preparing for Cub Scout Pack Meeting tonight by blogging. Alors, here is 25 Things About Me:

1. I love garlic stuffed green olives. I stand in front of the open fridge and eat them straight out of the bottle (with or without a fork).
2. The best summer of my life was the Summer of 2000. I lived in Kanab, worked at Houston's, and lived it up with my cousin/friend KariAnn and Chris and Andy.
3. I refer to Kari as my friend, even though she always has been, because when we were young I introduced her as "my cousin, not my friend" on my swing set in West Jordan. She got mad.
4. I really enjoy my morning runs. My favorite time is the half hour before the sun comes up.
5. I bite my finger nails. Toe nails, too, sometimes.
6. I want to shake people who think the only form of punctuation is a "!"
7. I have low tolerance for bad spellers who continue to offend.
8. I'll still watch any of the "Anne of Green Gables" movies when they're on PBS even though I haven't read the books since I was 10.
9. In elementary school I got myself up early to watch "Little House on the Prairie." I'd pour myself a bowl of cereal and sit on the heater vent.
10. Sippy cups. I am tired of sippy cups.
11. I don't like fish...not even tuna fish.
12. Love Aquafina water. Hate Arrowhead water.
13. When I was younger I wanted to be run a cash register at a grocery store and/or become a nuclear physicist. Neither has come to fruition.
14. I don't brush my teeth at night.
15. I still sleep with the hall light on.
16. I have to have the TV in my room on all night when Sam is gone.
17. Accutane is THE miracle drug. I'd only wished I'd discovered it before high school.
18. I don't want to be a Visiting Teacher anymore. I'd never tell the RS President that though because of guilt.
19. I do a lot of things out of not wanting to feel guilty, not because I look forward to reaping any blessings.
20. I've started Weight Watchers four times. The first time I lost 23 lbs. The next three times I tried to cheat the system. It didn't work.
21. I don't gush over other people's babies.
22. I enjoy mowing the lawn and pulling weeds (in moderation).
23. My kids are wearing me down...just look at my family room carpet.
24. I graduated summa cum laude from SUU with a degree in English/Journalism/Secondary Ed. I cannot tell you anything about William Shakespeare, though.
25. I love taking naps in a warm car with the windows slightly down.
