.25 Things.

I saw this on a friends blog (thanks KaLee) and thought I would follow along... break up the monotony a little.

1. I love movies that I can fall asleep to, just a comfort movie, I really like things I have seen a billion times before, Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Little Women, Wives and Daughters, The Notebook.
2. I say 'knock it off' way to much I think, to noisy little boys.
3. I would love to decorate my bedroom 'just so'... think crisp white linen, simple lined sepia canvas flora prints on the wall and dark mahogany furniture... hmmm
4. I really don't care to read. I have to really want to read the novel or book to get into it. I am not a fad person, will wait until the excitement of the new release has gone before I will get into it, not sure why?? My only exception, The Help.
5. I detest TV, it is the bane of my existance (only since having kids). Since having children I can seriously count on one hand the shows I remotely follow.
6. My all time favorite flower is tulips and I love the shape of peonys.
7. I am fearful of the dentist and any talk of a visit sends me into stress mode. I so want to get my teeth whitened but fear to do so because I have to go to the dentist for it.
8. Me + my slow cooker = IN LOVE!
9. I write childrens stories. I love it and would love to be published some day.
10. Along those same lines... I am picky with childrens illustrators. I know what I like for my stories which help.
11. I think I will have all boys. Don't think a little bubba girl is on the horizon for me... I may eat my words, but we'll see.
12. If I could pick, I would have Christmas in the USA and New Years in Australia, hands down, the awesomest place for New Years celebrations.
13. I hate it when people sniff constantly.
14. My favorite pass times, Sudoku (book form) and Klondike (on the ipod).
15. I have been super slack this year with my reading of the book of mormon, I need to get back on that, and get consistant starting now!
16. If I could afford it I would have a personal chef.
17. I am a total car person. I can tell you brand of a car and often what the reviews are on the cars I like. I am picky on that front too.
18. Music is something I use to follow really well, knowing who sings what, what is on the charts, etc. I have not followed that at all since I moved to the USA.
19. My favorite songs that have stood the time are and I love to hear are, 'The Middle' by Jimmy Eat World, 'Love Rollercoaster' by Red Hot Chili Peppers, 'Pumped Up Kicks' by Foster The People (don't read the lyrics though... I just like the sound... it is deep...about a shooting in 2007), 'I Like It' by Enrique Iglesias, 'Chasing Cars' by Snow Patrol, 'Wish You Well' by Katie Herzig... I could listen to her ALL day. Makes me think of the music from Greys Anatomy... I heart Greys. I realise I either like songs that make me dance or make me think.
20. I have the biggest crush on Henry Cavill and Ryan Gosling (by the way, did you know that Henry Cavill was who Stephanie Meyer had in mind for her image of Edward in her novels?? bit of fyi)
21. I almost went into labor watching the 2 guys from 'Who's Line Is It Anyway' perform at UW. I have never laughed so hard in my life. I was contracting like no other!
22. If I could relive the day my children were born, hearing them cry, seeing them for the first time, I would relive it 1,000,000 times, I just don't want the pain and anxiety that comes with that day. It really is what life if all about, feeling that perfect, perfect love.
23. I want to learn to fly fish.
24. When I think of the perfect holiday, I always think of laying in the sun on the beach.
25. I collect Willow Tree figurines and always have a running list of the new releases and what ones I want.
