1. I like making lists and I REALLY like marking things off as being done.
2. I've lived in Illinois, DC, Hawaii, Nashville, and Australia. In the past 5 years. I have a Massachusetts phone number, and I refuse to get a Tennessee driver's license.
3. I often wish chewing gum wasn't invented - I hate it when people chew it loudly and snap it in confined spaces.
4. Makemake au i ka hula a me 'olelo Hawaii. I like to hula dance and speak Hawaiian. I have Kumu Em to thank.
5. I LOVE ice cream. LOVE it. I guess my dad's motto (if you don't eat enough ice cream, you'll get sick) stuck with me.
6. I am going to take a sewing class (to learn to sew with a machine) and I'm very excited. This will help speed up my quilt-making process substantially.
7. I have recently started to like white wine and champagne (I have liked red for a while). Thanks Lou and Lee & Amber.
8. I'm worried about where the CG will send us and somehow that translated into me pestering the Commandant about it in my dream the other night.
9. I have a Master of Arts in Latin American Studies. So far, it's brought me Jen P, Jen M, Marta K, and my husband. I haven't done anything productive with the degree itself yet. Perhaps I'll go back to school again and get something useful.
10. I won my school spelling bee in 5th grade.
11. I stick my tongue out when I'm concentrating. Just like my sisters.
12. I wish I lived closer to my sisters. I love them and miss them a lot.
13. The number 4 has been my soccer number and my favorite number for a long time. I think it was because I really liked Joe Dumars at an impressionable age.
14. I like taking photos and want to learn how to take better pictures.
15. I really miss both Hawaii and Australia. Sometimes it seems like a dream that we really lived there. A really great dream.
16. I only saw Goonies in the past 5 years... Jen M, I have you to thank for that.
17. I know the military phonetic alphabet (alpha, bravo, charlie, delta...). I rehearse it when I'm getting my teeth cleaned or any dental work done.
18. I have started liking drinking hot tea. Before, I just thought it tasted like dirty water. I want my cuppa! I think Irish Breakfast with milk is my favorite thus far, well, and chai with milk.
19. I promote Google (gmail, picasa, etc), Netflix, and Etsy like I have stock in them. I don't. I have Starbucks stock and it's crashing like a bad computer or whatever crashes dramatically.
20. On our first date, Shad asked me where I grew up. I said, "Wyoming." He said, "The State?" I said, "No, the city." I asked him where he was from. He said, "Jupiter." I said, "The planet?" Hahaha.
21. I know more about surfing, basketball (sports in general), and the Coast Guard than I ever thought I would now that I am married to Shad. I even laughed at his Dirk Nowitzki joke this week. (They sometimes call him Irk Nowitzki because he has no D). Hahaha.
23. I like JEOPARDY. It's one of the few tv shows Shad and I watch regularly. I kind of think that we're almost like in the movie "White Men Can't Jump" - almost.
24. I know the first verses to both the Brazilian and the Australian national anthem. I'm sure that will come in handy someday.
25. I'm thankful for my family and friends!
