25 (or so) things

I was looking over some old posts today and saw this list I did awhile back. One thing I should have included on this list, but didn't, is that I apparently can not count to 25, seeing as this list goes: 20, 21, 22, 23, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

So really, this is not 25 things about me, but 29.

Also - this list is old...some things have changed since I wrote it. Like #4. Of course I have exercised since June 2008! Geesh!

1. I like to break rules.
2. I have been friends with my best friend for over 20 years
3. My favorite time of the day is the morning, before the sun comes up and before anyone else in the house is awake. I get up, make myself a cup of tea and enjoy the silence.
4. I haven't exercised since June 2008.
5. I am finally, at 31, ok with the fact that I have cellulite (just a tiny little bit)
6. I get just as excited about my birthday as I did as a child
7. I LOVE the smell of my husbands armpits
8. I don't really like my job, but I love the people I work with
9. My kids are my only biological relatives
10. My favorite meal is grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup
11. I was an unfortunate looking, hyper-active child. Luckily, my daughters don't take after me in those areas
12. I wish my mom and dad invited me over for Sunday dinners more often
13. I love my brothers and sisters. We are all different, and quite dis-functional at times, but I love being a part of my family. I love being the youngest. I love my role and my place in our family.
14. I look in the mirror far too often
15. I get incredible satisfaction from things like: a full tank of gas, a well stocked pantry, and drawers full of clean socks.
16. If I have money in my bank account, I will spend it. All of it. I can't save money to save my life.
17. My husband has a "secret" savings account that he thinks I don't know about. I don't blame him, since I spend whatever is in our account.
18. One of my resolutions for 2009 is to be more responsible with my money. So far I'm doing good. It's only January 26th though.
19. I love Dr. Mario and spend way too much time playing it.
20. I have unusually long fingers and toes.
21, My mom made me practice the piano every single day for one hour- for 10 years. I hated every minute of it.
22. I don't have a college education. I wish I did. I wish I took my education more seriously as a teenager and young adult.
23. I am incredibly jealous of people who can sing. I love to sing, and wish I were better at it. I wish I could bring people to tears with my voice, the way others do to me.
20. I am amazed and confused at how much my daughters love me. I am their absolute favorite person in the world! I am soaking it up now, cause I know it won't last forever.
21. I love making people laugh.
22. I have never been more at peace with who I am, or more accepting of myself, as I am now.
23. I hate going to the dentist, but do it anyway, just for the laughing gas
24. I love crying. I don't do it often, but a few times a year I will totally break down and have myself a good cry. It is so cleansing and renewing. I wish I could figure out how to do it more often. (sad movies, maybe?)
25. I spent entirely too much time coming up with this list.
