Well, I stand by my original 25 things because they are true and most heartfelt. However, I feel like I need to have a list of whacky, simple things about myself as well. So, I am trying again. The first list got more serious than I really intended, so here I go again...
1. My favorite color is red and has been for years.
2. I love dishes, and would have multiple sets of dishes if I had the room to store them all.
3. I would rather have something sweet than something salty, and cookies or ice cream are the best of all.
4. My son makes me laugh - hard. He loves to be silly, and his humor is really funny (to me, at least).
5. I don't like to drive; I didn't even go for my driver's license until I was almost 17 years old because I didn't even like to drive then.
6. I used to play the piano. I still fiddle around with it, but I used to be much better than I am now.
7. I wish I could play the guitar, but I lack the time or resources to devote learning this new skill at the moment. Maybe in a few years?
8. I keep a cross-stich project that I take to "craft days" with other women. I don't really like to craft, but I do like the fellowship. This project gives me a reason to go, with respect.
9. I love to do in-depth studies of Scripture, but I don't have an in-depth study going all the time. My time permits me to read the Bible more devotionally at the present.
10. I like my in-laws...yes, really. I'm lucky to have in-laws that like me, too!
11. My son wants to be a firefighter when he grows up, and I hope that he will grow out of this phase.
12. I like both coffee and tea -- hot and cold coffee, but only hot tea.
13. I love to cook, and I sometimes love to bake. I don't really like to use measuring cups and spoons or recipes, so baking only happens when I am willing to measure and follow the directions.
14. I am presently cold -- in my house -- with a jacket on. I think that is crazy, but I don't want to pay for the heat if I turn up the thermostat (It is 9 degrees outside presently, which is warm compared to the last couple of weeks!)
15. I would wear blue jeans every day if I could.
16. I don't like to fold socks or iron. Thankfully, my husband is willing to do his own ironing.
17. I know how to (and enjoy to!) pack a car as well as my engineer dad (and better than my husband!)
18. I love to organize things (not parties, but drawers, closets, etc.)
19. Sometime I let things get messy just so I can re-organize it later.
20. I enjoy having my closet organized and everything hung by category (pants, shirts, etc) and by color within each category. My husband thinks that is strange; we are both thankful that we are not sharing a closet.
21. I have never been good at sports, but I have always enjoyed being active.
22. It bugs me that at 35 years old, I am beginning to get wrinkles, and I still have occasional break outs. Ugh.
23. The sound of Rob singing while he plays is one of my favorite sounds.
24. I love fresh fruits and vegetables (fresh, not canned or frozen, are my favorite), and I struggle with meats (including chicken, beef, and pork). I have tried for years to learn to like meat, and I still really don't. I don't know why. I see my son being this way as well.
25. I still find it hilarious that I am even doing this blog. Still don't know why I am, but I do find it strangely fun.

Rose it is so funny how much we have in common. #3, #6, #15, #17 (my husband makes fun of me because I think about packing the car days ahead of time), #18 (if only I could get paid to be organized), #19 (at least once a day I pick up a mess I let get that way just so I could re-organize it) and #20.
Rose. You are too funny. Only you would make a list of 25 things. And then make ANOTHER list because you thought you didn't do it right the first time. Do I see a little A-type sneaking through! ;-) I can't even think of two items to put on my FIRST list!
