Okay, I had to do it. Here we go in no particular order:
1. My brothers made me claustrophobic by holding blankets over my head when i was little.
2. I have no waist at all. It's as big or bigger than my hips.
3. I hate hot weather. Anything over 85 degrees is torturous.
4. My feet and hands are always swollen by the end of the day. Worse in hot weather.
5. I love Diet Coke and am totally addicted to it. With lime.
6. I think Carnations smell like they would taste good in a salad.

9. I hate (HATE) avocados. Their flavor, texture, everything.
10. There is no 's' on toward or afterward. It drives me nuts that everyone writes or says it wrong. And 'across' does not have an 'ed' or a 't'.
11. A few of the words I think are gross are moist, lubricant and eyeball.
12. I can hardly wait to be a grandma, but I WILL wait till it's appropriate!

18. I pray all the time I will win the lottery but hardly ever buy a ticket.
19. I wish I had taken voice lessons when I was younger.
20. I have basically forgotten how to play the cello. Also, I need a new cello that is smaller but can't bear to sell mine because my dad bought it for me.
21. I don't cook. I heat things up.
22. I get migraines about three days a week. I have tried everything to get rid of them, even botox.

I love your list. I feel like I know you better now. Lots of new information for us to chat about! Love ya.
Man, do I relate. Epecially about the talking too much at parties. Although, I'm the one with the spelling and grammer problem, so what can I say about that. I love lists, and I really can relate and appreciate yours.
hey chic,
I love your list and that you can be so honest about you, your self and your veiw of life. I challange you to find more positive things about you 'cause I know they are in there. I am hoping however, that you might find it in your heart to change your mind about Utah 'cause I really miss your company. By the way thanks for not giving me grief about my spelling or grammerical errors when we chat.
