25 Random Things

25 Random Things I get “homesick” for England, especially when I read/watch James Herriot. There are very few female musicians I like…most of my cd collection is male artists. It bothers me that anonymous people continually read our blog but don’t comment. Read if you want, but I want to know what you think about what you read. I have a strange inexplicable thing for banjo music. I have a strange inexplicable thing for hatchback cars. Especially Volkswagens. The nails on my pinkie toes grow at a 90 degree angle out from my toes. I judge people who don’t recycle. I can’t stand having long fingernails. I’m intimidated by women who are good at wearing makeup and doing their hair fancy. I used to want to have enough kids to form a three-on-three soccer or baseball team. I haven’t taken my toe rings off since 2003. I eat honey by the spoonful. When I was fourteen I knocked over a stop sign while learning to drive. Laundry is my favourite chore. I am not in the least bit embarrassed about wearing socks and sandals. I think leg-shaving is highly over-rated. I’ve always wished I could live like Laura Ingalls Wilder. I want to be a midwife when I grow up. And a farmer. And own a small independent bookstore. I am addicted to the endorphins from exercising. My favourite food is fruit. My favourite fruit is Granny Smith apples. Also mangos. Also raspberries. I would like to paint a wall dark avocado green. I crave deep friendships but I’m not very good at forming them. My favourite things to cook with are garlic, oregano and Worcestershire sauce. But especially garlic.

Just to let you know, I check your blog a few times a week and rarely comment. I'm guilty of being one of your anonymous non-commenting readers! But you should know your blogs almost always make me smile and usually make me ponder things I hadn't thought of before. Thanks for them!

Hi Annie! Glad you like the list!

Cindy, the exact location is top secret...but it was out by my parents' house. ;)
