1.  I've taken one puff off of one cigarette.  It was the only time I impressed my childhood, heavy smoking, former friend.

2.  I sleep with my hand on my stomach.  It started when I was pregnant, protecting the babies, but now I have to do it to fall asleep.

3.  The only one of my names that isn't consistenly spelled wrong is my middle name.  That includes my maiden name.

4.  I am not good at making friends in real life.  I lost the ability to use "small talk" when my kids were born.

5.  My pinky toe on my left foot is double jointed.

6.  A new "hair-do" is something I always claim to want.  but it always just grows past my waist anyway.

7.  I've been lactating for 43 months.

8.  My first son was born at 8:13 pm, and weighed 8lbs 13oz.

9.  I've never felt like I'm smart enough.  It feels like pretending.

10.  My brain works to remember things by storing them according to what letter they start with and how many syllables they have.

11.  Sometimes I can't remember, though, if a scene I replay in my head was from a movie or a book I read.  I thought everyone saw vivid images when they read, but hubby says he only see's the words.

12.  A bag of Twizzlers will not last more than 24 hours if I get my hands on it.

13.  I am not very interesting, and stalling at number 13.

14.  Mullholland Drive, the movie, scares me to death.  I've watched it at least 4 times though.  I still haven't seen the face of the man behind the dumpster.

15.  The smell of hairspray makes me want to sing.

16.  The first time I went back to school, after Winston was born, I was terrified.  I'm excited about going back next fall.  I need to finish.

17.  My husband and I got to see the World Series winning Arizona Diamondback team play twice.  Once in Arizona, once in Houston, both times against the Astros.

18.  We also saw Celine Dion's husband in The Stardust in Las Vegas.

19.  I understand the importance of unicorns and cookies.  It's not a magical power, but still pretty good.

20.  Apparently, I understood Dante's Inferno better than my father.  That is AWESOME, because he is a smartass.

21.  Rachael Ray taught me how to make gravy, frittatas, mac n cheese, and to mince garlic.

22.  I know all the words to the theme song of Fresh Prince of Belaire.

23.  My book was not finished during naptime.  Two Chapters left!  ACK!  I really need to finish it NOW.

25.  It has taken me all day to write these 25 things.
