25 Things...

1.I believe all dogs have complex feelings and emotions.
2.I love when my husband laughs really hard.
3.I didn't know how to blow my nose until a few years ago when I figured out I couldn't.
4.I dread the day my dog acts like he's “getting older.”
5.I don't order French Toast at restaurants because I know they'll never give me the amount of powdered sugar I use at home.
6.I love cantaloupe martinis.
7.I'm unsure about becoming a mother some day- but I'm making progress! :)
8.I go back into the house (at least twice a week) to make sure the curling iron/straightener is turned off even though they have auto shut-off.
9.I've always dreamed of receiving a Tiffany & Co. diamond ring in a robin's egg blue box.
10.I can’t decide if I get more nervous before the 4x200 or 4x100.
11.I heard Dan Rather quote a politician once and have used “Maximize your potential” as my life/teaching philosophy ever since.
12.I hate the images kids see on T.V. sometimes and wish they could be younger longer.
13.I told a teacher when I was in 4th grade that I'd never wear bell-bottoms and I still haven't (but I did wear Converse sneakers once and had told her in that same conversation that I'd never do that)
14.I believe a lot can be learned from the original Beverly Hills 90210.
15.I can't decide what's worse- having an eyelash stuck in my eye or having stickiness on my hands.
16.I'm not sure how I went so long without listening to the Breakfast Boys in the morning- now my day doesn't feel complete without it.
17.I'm obsessed with marshmallows, the color teal, and with matching my shoes to my outfit.
18.I admire my husband's ability to stay calm.
19.I think if you make a lot of money as a professional athlete, you should be drug tested more often and kicked out of the sport if you're found positive.
20.I still hope the Mariners can win 116 games again someday.
21.The most beautiful place I've ever seen is the view of the Pacific Ocean from the Pacific Coast Highway.
22.I hope to travel to Italy sometime in my 30s.
23.I feel lucky and fortunate to have known my dad for 32+ years.

24.Some days I seriously consider becoming a vegetarian.
25.I wish I did more volunteer work.
