I put this together for Facebook and thought i'd share it with you as well.
1. I've not worn any nail polish color (other than French manicure) since high school.
2. Ditto that for lipstick. I went through a red lipstick phase my senior year and since then it's been lip gloss.
3. The first time I ever cried over a death was when my dog, Gabriel, died.
4. I almost named my second son Gabriel, but thought it might be too weird.
5. I don't like eating enough to cook a big meal for just myself. When I was single I ate popcorn and cheese and Diet Coke for dinner. I was 30 pounds lighter.
6. Epidurals do not work for me the way they work for others. If I ever have another child, I won't bother getting one.
7. My husband still gives me butterflies. Especially when he gets a good haircut.
8. I always say, "that's funny" and don't laugh. Why is that?
9. Contrary to what Lindsay says, I have never, not once, finished a NYT Sunday puzzle. I always try them, though.
10. I am so tired of living in a cold climate and living here with children is killing me. I want to play outside again!
11. I was extremely loyal as a child and agonized when someone asked me to be their best friend, as I already had a best friend who lived far away. It kept me up at night. I even was so loyal to McDonalds I felt massive guilt the first time I ate at Burger King.
12. I used to journal but can't seem to find the time or motivation anymore.
13. I love doing laundry and organizing my closet.
14. I hate putting laundry away.
15. I obsess over maps whenever we go on a roadtrip. Having said that, the first time Seth and I drove to NYC, we left the road map in IN and figured, how hard can it be? It's the biggest city in the country! We eventually made it, but were very confused at one point, as to why we were in NJ.
16. I've worn the same perfume for over 10 years.
17. I have curly hair, but blow dry it straight almost every day.
18. I don't like tea; I think it's fake coffee.
19. I was very gullible as a child and believed my friend (in fifth grade) who told me she auditioned to be Daisy Duke, but turned down their offer. I also believed my friend who told me she was John Travolta's daughter, but he gave her away for his career.
20. I am extremely sentimental.
21. I went to my friend Lindsay's birthday party and everyone was giving her clothes and journals and nice stuff. I got her a magnet and felt like the scum of the earth. Now we give each other magnets each year.
22. My mom used to make me Chip Beef Gravy on Toast whenever dad was out of town. It's still my favorite comfort food.
23. I just read the Starbridge Series by Susan Howatch and could read them all again and again.
24. I am a rut person. I love my ruts. I need my ruts.
25. I fear that the exhaustion and isolation of having two small children, and the resultant lack of "reaching out" is going to render me friendless by the time i'm through this phase of life. Seriously.

cool post! Are you an introvert? My guess is yes. Your last random thing made me wonder.
And...
If Chip Beef Gravy is what I think it is, my grandmother eats it. And when she does, Dave refers to it as "calf boiled in its own mother's milk". Though, my grandmother doesn't know that.
I loved learning all that about you, sister-in-law. Move to Texas and help me also not become a social recluse!
I am also very gullible. When I was in high school, my boyfriend at the time convinced me that this large black guy at a museum we visited was Herschel Walker (a Dallas Cowboy at the time). I went on and on for weeks telling everyone "I saw Herschel Walker!". About a month later I learned he made it up to tease me. I guess I can be convinced that any large black man is a professional athlete.
Despite 8 (always thought it funny how Americans do that) and 18 (just can't relate), I promise you don't need to worry about 25.
