I always said I wouldn't do one of these lists because it seems like too many things to come up with and too many things that I don't want people knowing about me. But then I saw it as a challenge and a step out of your box type of thing, so I did it. Here you go:
- I'm obsessed with my teeth.
- I used to have dreams that I would fall and break my teeth. Now my dreams usually involve celebrities. They are highly entertaining.
- I LOVE LOVE LOVE magazines. If I get a magazine in the mail or buy one, NO ONE can read it before me.
- I love To-Do Lists.
- I love to cross things off To Do Lists. It gives me a little high.
- I just love lists in general.
- I like structure.
- I loathe peeling oranges and I don't think the fruit is even that good to merit all of the gross work it takes the peel the dang thing...although I do love jus d'orange.
- I never wear colored nail polish on my hands. Only clear.
- I don't like to wear jewelry.
- I love love love to mow the lawn.
- I love to recycle. I look for things to recycle and get excited when there is only one of something left in a box because I think "Soon I can recycle that box!"
- I love getting the mail.
- Partly because I know there will be things I can recycle.
- Also, because it's like a daily present.
- I don't like spicy food.
- I have an unhealthy addiction to celebrity gossip.
- I'm working on it.
- I'm a little bit selfish.
- And I'm ok with it. Sometimes.
- I don't like when people make noises when they eat. It makes me absolutely crazy.
- I hate my cankles. I mean ankles.
- My favorite drink is water. On fancy days, water with lemon.
- My favorite meal is breakfast or brunch.
- In my head, I'm Kate Hudson(funky, sexy, earthy) but in reality I think I'm more Jennifer Garner(wholesome, safe).
- I love to be alone.
- I hate clutter and knick knacks.
- I regularly buy myself flowers.
- When people piss me off a calm comes over me. Then I tend to talk slower and use big words to make them feel small.
- I adore my family.
- This includes my in-laws. They're good people.
- I'm discovering that it is rare to like your family as much as I like mine. I would pick my siblings and parents as friends for sure.
- I like speaking in public and seek out opportunities to do so.
- I love my dog like a child.
- If I had a kid before I had the dog, I would have a kid named Atticus.
- I'm addicted to chapstick and have some just about everywhere.
- I think I'm becoming more obsessive the older I get.
- Lately I've been loving having all of the labels facing out in the refrigerator and pantry.
- I love great paper and pens.
- My face gives me away every time. It's very hard for me to hide my disdain for something.
- I admire authenticity most in a woman.
- My children watch too much TV.
- While they are watching too much TV I am making out with my laptop.
- I love food but don't really like to cook. Or perhaps it's just that I'm not a good cook...
- I like to bake though.
- I love to drive.
- I prefer air conditioning. It's just more civilized.

- I love folk music. It reminds me of my childhood.
- I really love being me.
- And feel grateful every day.
- I love Peonies.
- I debate plastic surgery but can never do it because it's too much of a risk for me medically. To put my health at risk for the sake of vanity is just too much...but that doesn't mean I haven't thought about it. Botox is still on the to do list.
- There's nothing like a full fridge, clean, quiet house, clean sheets.
- When I was little I wanted to be a waitress or a cheerleader.
- I am happy to report I have fulfilled half of that dream.
- I was a waitress.
- I started living my life in technicolor when I met my husbie, Peter.
- It was pretty lovely before but since PGP it's just brilliant.

- Because I don't want to appear weak or vulnerable.
- There is music for every situation.
- I love to find just the right music to fit my mood.
- I love any and every kind of spa service.
- Pedicures are a necessity, not a luxury.
- There are many things in life that people consider a luxury that I consider a necessity.

- My brilliant husband always has something interesting to say.
- He is passionate about life and always puts us first.
- That's a great feeling.
- I don't like beer. Too filling.
- I'm more of a cocktail girl --Vodka & Tonic extra lime, or Extra Dirty Martini.
- I started liking the name "Finn" after seeing The Station Agent. The main character was a little person named "Finbar", but they called him "Finn". I thought "i love it."
- I read the name Hadley in an architectural magazine. It was someone's daughter's name or something. It was also Hemingway's first wife.

- I have been known to have popcorn for dinner.
- Even though I feel the need to end with some poignant thing about myself, I think I'll just say that I really love the word "douchebag."
