1) I am not very old. I am 24. This must make me one of the youngest people on OS, although I haven't checked up on this.

2) My favorite drink is a mimosa.

3) I voted for George W. Bush in 2004. (I KNOW! I KNOW! I figured so long as we were doing confessions, might as well fess up....)

4) I am now a registered democrat and flaming liberal.

5) My favorite coffee drink right now is a Pumpkin Spice Latte.

6) My favorite time of year is Spring. Skirts come out in the spring. Flowers come out in the spring. Spring begins beach season. Perfect.

7)  I do my best work when under a deadline. I frequently procrastinate.

8) I hate to lose at board games, especially to my husband. I am a competitive person generally.

9)  I fully plan on hiking all of the Appalachian Trail once the kids are out of the house.

10)  My husband and I offically dated for 6 weeks before we became engaged. We were engaged for 4 months before we were married. We are still a perfect match even though statistically we should be divorced by now.

11) I was a DJ at the independent college radio station for 2 semesters. My show was called "The Holly Day Show". I (along with many of the female DJ's) frequently got calls from one man in particular asking if I was wearing underwear. Disturbing.

12)  I am a list-maker. I make lists for everything- goals for this week, goals for this year, what do I have to do today, what I have to do tomorrow etc.  I find them later and laugh. I get a certain satisfaction from crossing things off of my lists.

 13) I faithfully journaled my entire adolescence from age 11 to age 19. I stopped journaling at 19 because my husband started reading the journals. Now I blog, but it's just not the same. One day I'll have a ceremonial burning.

14) I sewed my junior and senior prom dresses and the dress I wore for graduation.

15) In high school I was Olive in "The Odd Couple: Female Version" and Clairee in "Steel Magnolias". I was offered a part in a play Spring semester Senior year, and being the cocky bitch that I am I refused as it wasn't the lead. I don't really regret it as the play was dumb, but I do regret my attitude.

16) I spin wool into yarn. I dye yarn into yarn with colors. I knit the yarn that I dye into pieces of clothing. It's fun.

17)  My last child was born at home with a midwife. I am a fervent supporter of midwifery in my state.

18)  I find the smell of new books truly intoxicating.

19)  I wear rainbow flip flops practically all year round, save December and January. I have a brown pair and a black pair to match everything in my wardrobe. 

20) I don't watch scary movies. There's too much in the real world that scares the shit out of me. However, I do love romance movies, like Pride and Prejudice, and comedies, like Zoolander, and dramas, like Braveheart. Oh, and the Planet Earth series- Love it.

21) Speaking of which, we don't have a television set up in our home. We watch movies or episodes of the Office and House on our Mac.  I love the fact my kids aren't being bombarded by advertising from the whine of the television, but secretly I would love a 46" LCD for myself. My husband won't agree to get cable but wants a TV, and I won't agree to purchase a TV unless we're going to have cable, so we're deadlocked.

22)  My favorite dessert is Tiramisu. And NOT the Carrabbas kind. I hate their tiramisu.

23) I used to love being around people, but now I love being by myself, which is hardly never.

24)  XM Radio has significantly improved my driving experience. I love XM.

25) I love fondue. Especially cheese fondue with bread, apples and carrots. Yum.
