i've decided, perhaps temporarily, to reenter the blogging world. really, i'm just recycling a note i posted on facebook, so sorry about the repeat if you've read this already. give me a break. the fact that i even logged on here is a big step for me :)
1. i'm addicted to nalgene bottles. i have at least 8 if i remember correctly. and i'm kinda a snob about it. my water bottles have to be nalgene brand because everything else is just a rip off of the original.
2. i'm always on the lookout for new stickers to decorate my nalgene bottles with.
3. i hate bath and body works because they always discontinue my favorite scents. but i keep going back. . .
4. i'm a sucker for $5 dvds at walmart.
5. i've been dying my hair various shades of red since early 1996.
6. i loved paul newman like no one else. we had the same birthday.
7. my dad is probably my favorite person in the whole world.
8. my passport has only been stamped in ecuador, much to my dismay. i mean it's to my dismay that i haven't been more places.
9. i'm invariably surprised when people remember my name.
10. i still suffer from middle child syndrome.
11. i always seem to make friends with foreigners.
12. i've had over 50 roommates. i've actually lost track of the exact numbers, and i can't even remember some of their names at this point.
13. i lived the same roommate in 3 different houses because we got along so well.
14. i graduated from college when i was 21.
15. i have an uncanny knack for remembering useless trivia. i could win jeopardy. but when it comes to things i should/need to remember, i'm useless.
16. the day that i got over my height complex and started wearing high heels was a good day.
17. i'd rather drive somewhere than fly there. flying is so boring, even if it is more time efficient. i will always love the sensations of takeoff and landing, though.
18. i'll go see a movie in the theater by myself if i want to see the movie bad enough.
19. i'm not ashamed to admit that i love knitting.
20. i have motivation issues. and procrastination issues. they kinda go hand in hand, really.
21. my favorite job i've ever had was as a barista at mocha madness in pocatello. only an extreme love of what you do can make you work for less than $5.50/hr for more than 2 years.
22. a flat tire on labor day 1999 started a chain of events that introduced me to some of my oldest friends.
23. i know i shouldn't pick favorites, but my favorite niece and nephew are also middle children.
24. i like making lists. except for this one. this one was moderately painful. 25 is a lot of things to think of in one sitting.
25. i love visiting national parks. someday i'm going to purchase one of the national parks passport just so i can collect stamps from all of the national parks and have proof that i've visited all of them.

it's true - life is tough as a middle child. I know.
Does #20 mean you have a hard time getting motivated enough to procastinate doing today what should have been done yesterday?
Oh! I have so missed your posts. I have even entertained the idea of getting a facebook account just so I could read your posts. That list is so you! Love it!!!
I'm glad your still alive and I enjoyed the list.
#20 is why I'm reading your blog in the middle of a workday! The 2 best things about #22 were Sarah sliding down the trail at the petrified tree and laughing so hard she couldn't stand back up and climbing on the lion statues at Mammoth post office. That was a fun road trip despite the flat tire and crappy breck shampoo that I complained about. :)
If I'm anal about ANYTHING (and believe me I am) it's my national parks passport book. Why in the heck haven't you sprung the money for that?????? How are you going to retro fit it?????
