1. I sweep my kitchen every day and leave the pile in a corner somewhere instead of putting it in a dust pan and throwing it away. My thought is "I will add to this later" and then I don't. It drives Raleigh up the wall.
2. I have the worst laugh. It gets more and more horrible the pregnanter I get. But when I really get going, usually at something I've said and I am cracking myself up, it is the most amazing laugh you have ever heard. Super embarrassing.
3. I have a super messy closet. I throw my clothes on the floor cuz I am usually rushing. Then in a couple of days I go "where the heck is my white shirt?" And it is on the floor all wrinkled. And I wear it anyway. Sorry mom.
4. I am very conscious about the way I smell. So I take at least 2 showers a day and wear lots of lotion. If I think I don't smell good I am in the worst mood and I avoid people.
5. I have never thrown up. Well, I think I did once when I was 5 and it must have really sucked because I have never done it since. 5 pregnancies and at least 15,000 dry heaves, but no puke has escaped my lips. And hopefully never will. Because if I ever do... I won't know what to do and I will probably blow chunks all over creation.
6. I have to wear full on outfits to bed. I have a fear that my house will catch on fire in the middle of the night and I will be out in the street in my undies. So I wear matching outfits with socks. Just in case.
7. I am NOT a girly girl. I HATE those big grandma purses that all those fashionistas carry. In fact, they infuriate me. What in the world do you girls have in there? And how do you ever find your keys? No one should need that much stuff at the grocery store. I hate earrings, bracelets, make up and accessories. I hardly do my hair and I honestly could care less how I look. I am sorry. Give me 10 minutes, a pair of jeans and big chunky shoes and I am good to go.
8. I love to watch every sport, but baseball. I love the Olympics, March Madness, football season from August to January, The Masters, The Jazz and anything Raleigh is playing.
9. I am really funny. At least I think I am. I tell the best embellished stories and I just love to be with funny people.
10. I dream almost every night. I have the best dreams. Sometimes I dream about someone and I wake up mad at them (Raleigh) and I am mad at them for the whole day. And they don't know why. And they haven't done anything. One time I wore my uniform to school on a day we weren't performing because I had dreamt we were. Very VERY vivid and entertaining dreams.
11. I can yodel. Not very well, but I can do it and very loudly in my car on the way to work when it's dark. Don't ask me to do it for you... I won't.
12. I am afraid of the dark. I have night lights all over my house. I get very afraid in my garage when I leave for work. I always think there are scary robber men in my house ready to pounce on me.
13. I don't like cheese. Of any kind. I don't like sour cream either or frankly anything white. I get it from my mom. But it tastes like that stomach bile you sometimes burp up. It is a very yucky food.
14. I can't make decisions if other people are involved. If I am by myself I can function normally, but if someone else's happiness depends on my decision (ie. where should we eat?) I can't do it and usually refuse. And if someone forces me, I get very agitated and then mad.
15. I rebel at stupid rules. I am a very obedient person usually. I follow most rules. But if someone makes up a stupid one and there doesn't seem to be a valid reason behind it, I am the biggest rebel. For instance... not wearing jeans material to church (which was a stupid rule in our stake at one time), I wore that Jeans skirt every week for a month. When did my relationship with my savior have anything to do with my clothing? Sorry mom.
16. My big toe is very tickly. It always has been. NO ONE can touch it. It bothers me if my shoes touch it. I can't clip my toenails without going insane. If someone holds me down and touches it, I freak out and accidentally hurt them with my thrashing. Raleigh calls it my "circus toe." Feet are just gross anyway. That is enough on that.
17. I have worn the same watch for like 10 years. I spent $5.00 on it at Walmart. It is the greatest of my treasures. I can shower with it. It has a light, so I can see the time in the dark. It tells the date too. It is in every picture I have taken in the last decade. I took it off when I married Raleigh and they made me take it off when I had Allie, but that is it. It makes people angry. But I love it.
18. I don't watch TV. I don't have issues with it, I just have other things to do and I can't sit still very long.
19. I love drinking soda with a straw. I am the happiest person when I have a soda in my car cup holder with a big fat straw.
20. I never know how much money I have. I am afraid to look. So I just have a rough estimate and faith that I have enough. But don't you worry, I don't like to spend money either it makes me crazy. So... So far it hasn't been an issue.
21. I am a germ freak. I hate sick people. I always open the door on the left because I think most people are right handed and don't touch the left one as much. I avoid shopping carts as much as possible and I hold my breath in bathrooms.
22. I can't drive with music on. It makes me nervous. You really have to focus when your are a fast and shifty driver.
23. I do everything very fast. I eat fast, clean fast, walk fast drive fast and talk fast. I am also very fidgety and can't sit still. I wiggle my legs all around and I move my feet in bed. I think it's because I know I have a million things to do and I need to get going. It's hard for me to be sick and have to sit still. Only 2 more weeks to go.
24. I care way too much about what people think about me. I would be devastated if I thought or heard someone didn't like me.
25. I am pretty romantic. I love hearing other people's love stories and I love when a couple really loves each other. I like to cuddle and touch and be lovey. And I love when Raleigh says mushy things to me and calls me Honey and Sweety. He is very mushy. It is absolutely my favorite thing in the world.
There mom, just because I want to be just like you. It took me 3 hours. But here is my list.

You're so sweet, I know that list is so hard but it's fun for the rest of us to read. I really loved it. I think I knew almost everything you listed but I didn't know about the music in the car and I can sooo relate to that, it makes me very anxious. I'm not sure I knew that you are afraid of the dark, I don't remember that being an issue with you when you were little...believe me, there were issues but I don't recall that being one of them!! You did a great job and honestly, I don't care what you wear to church you would look darling in your bathrobe BUT I would prefer that you don't wear that.
#1 is why rugs were invented. #5-you will give new meaning to blowing chunks if you ever do. #7-my daughter made me cut my hair for the New Year's, she said it would help me catch a man, but now she says I am lazy because I never do anything with it. I do not have enough hands to operate a blow dryer it seems and flat irons are fun but they make funny bumps in my hair. My daughters are girly girls though. Go figure. #15-I realized just how stupid some rules were when my girls became teenagers. I had to rethink what I thought was important very carefully. #23-I love to drive very fast. Bozos who get in the fast lane and go the speed limit drive me insane. I wish I had an Inspector Gadget car and could reach out and zap them. I drove a Nissan NSX once and knew I could never have one because I would get arrested.
These were so fun~! Sophia has such fun friends~!
Yes, yes, yes... We may just be best friends. I have to FIGHT the urge to ram into the back of the slow fast lane driver. I learned to drive in California and Utahns just DONT GET IT. They don't weave. They get in one lane, pick a ridiculous speed and look at the scenery. LOSERS!!!
I love your "Circus Toe". I had forgotten how ticklish it is. I can remember you screaming (when you were young) when mom was trying to clip that.
We had a night light on the lamp in our bedroom growing up. You used it until you left for college. I am surprised mom didn't remember that.
I can't drive without music blaring in the car. If it is quiet... I am alone with my thoughts. And that is always scary. Plus it is the only time I sing aloud... and I sing LOUD in my car (if no one else is with me).
I LOVED this!! You are so clever and we are so much alike its scary. Although I dont have a circus toe, Steve calls me Ghandi feet because he thinks they look like I have walked through a desert with them. My closet is a wreck! I am super cautious about my 'smell' and have been caught 'checking' and I love that you embelish stories! ME TOO! So many things I loved about this post. Thanks for playing! And I bet your laugh is adorable! Hopefully one day I can hear it over lunch Karen~
I loved that you and Kor were afraid of the dark...I just LOVED being the youngest and having my own room!
We ARE quite a bit alike you and I...but I must admit...the whole sweeping thing would drive me CRAZY!
I sure love you and loved your 25 randoms...YOU have a GREAT laugh...and I am sure that baby inside is in heaven each time it hears it.
See you in less than 2 weeks! yiphee!
I am so new to 'blogs' that I didn't know how to get ahold of you. I kept looking for an e-mail address, but today I finally saw the comment area. I would love to talk to you. Please send me a note at lbrown@huntergp.com, or call me at (208)898-4693. I really want to talk to you. You and your family look GREAT and so HAPPY!! I am sorry for all you had to go through to get to this point in your life though. I sure do love and miss you.
