my list.

1. I don't believe in coincidence.
2. I don't get enough sleep. Ever. I only require 8 hours. I typically get 6. :(
3. I hate the smell of cabbage. gag. since I was a kid and I thought my mom was making poop soup.
4. Contrary to popular belief, I am scared of heights.
5. My four favorite words: "I love you Mommy." They are honest. Unconditional. And I am thankful that they can speak them.
6. I think friendship is hard work. Especially after marriage and kids. Some are willing and others are not. I am realizing that time and space will not break some friendships, while the ones I thought were the strongest have crumbled.
7. I am afraid of bed bugs. I have never seen one or been bitten. But just the thought. Hotels just freak me out.

9. I hate my hair. Thin. Straight. Blah.
10. I love when I say to my kids "I will see you in the morning and in my..." they always say "dreams."
11. I love the man I married. I love when he shows that he can be vulnerable and doesn't have to always be strong.
12. I don't have patience for ignorance. I want to be the person that tries to "teach people" and show them the positive side of things, but the reality is if you say the "r" word or if you act like Cerebral Palsy is something you catch like a cold then I simply don't like you.
13. I am a pretty forgiving person. But I never forget. Not even if I want to.
14. I love guacamole. I love when it's fresh and not refridgerated. It's an addiction. And yes, it has some health benefits!!
15. I want to be a better mother. Do more. Make the right choices. Have no regrets.
16. I love the smell of play doh.
17. I know I was put on this earth to be a mother to my children. And to take my experiences and what I have learned to help other parents through their experiences. I just haven't figured out how.
18. I've never seen Goonies. Whoa right?! (people always freak out about this fact)
19. I hate long drives.
20. As painful as it was to dispose of, I no longer own any Tupperware. I do believe it's toxic.
21. I believe Stem Cell Reseach will change our world for the better. I know it can help my son. I know it can help my mother. I would advise anyone not to ever bring this subject up to me unless you are on my side of the fence.
22. I am an ice cream snob.
23. I miss having a basement.
24. I hate carnations and babies breath. cheap fillers.

45. I love, love, love US Weekly. Guilty pleasure.

48. I love the smell of coffee and hate the taste. My teeth thank me.
49. I love watching Reese run to me when I get home. Sometimes she runs so fast and is so excited she falls though... :(
50. I don't use one thing I learned in college in the "real world." The skills I learned as a server, however, have come in handy. Multitasking and coordinating.

60. I love lilacs. Gerbera Daisies are a close second.
61. On that same note, I am not a fan of roses.
62. I had a dream about a 12 million dollar lottery ticket. Now I always buy one when I see 12 million on the billboards.
63. Tow Ropes should be illegal at all ski slopes. I think I fell 100 times as a kid and then everyone falls like dominoes. It's just wrong.
64. I can only handle two drinks.
65. I love Y & R on Saturday night on SoapNet. Sad, but true.
66. I am a drape critic. The bottom of the window or to the floor. period. A pet peeve.
67. I love XM in the car. How did I live without HLN before?!
68. There are very few friends that know me truly. I can count them on one hand. They are genuine. Lovely. Unlike each other. Loyal. And have seen me through it all.
69. I love SmartWater. Now I think spring water and Aquafina all taste funny.
70. I'm not a great driver. At least I admit it. April and I have nice driving memories. :)

82. I love kickboxing with real bags. love, love, love it.
83. I hate to sew.
84. A person's disability does not define them. It's just one component of his or her life. Keep that in check when you speak to someone that has different abilities. I get easily frustrated by this. Noah is a million wonderful things. His diagnosis is just one small piece of who he is.
85. I am incapable of being fake. Truly. If I don't like someone, they usually know it.
86. I like biking, but it really does hurt my butt.
87. I like to wrap a pretty gift with a pretty bow. No sticky bows ever.

93. I learned over the past couple years that people on TV can be either very humble and gracious or just as*holes. You would think that some of those people thought they were in a Movie with Brad Pitt or something. It's home shopping for goodness sake.
