1-I am completely myself around my husband and vice versa - it's the most incredible thing in the world to me, and it feels so good to be together. You know you have a true friend when you can be together without saying a thing and it's good to just be together - my mom aptly calls it companionable silence - to me this is a sign of a quality relationship.
2- I ate yogurt off Bel's face yesterday (it may or may not have already been in her mouth) - that's right folks, it has happened... I'm a shameless mother.
3- I feel better about life when my bed is crisply made and my kitchen sink is empty.
4- There is a stop sign by my house that I am more likely to stop at while on foot (as opposed to in the car)
5- I have random spurts of dancing ability when (I flatter myself) the rhythm and moves just rise up inside me and I can dance like a natural born groover. (I don't know where this comes from or where it goes and I'm pretty sure only Ryan has seen it, and not many times - it's actually so unnatural to me that I'm kind of embarrassed about it - but there it is, now it's out)
6- My personal cures for being sick, sad, distressed or upset in anyway - eating breakfast (regardless of time of day), brushing my teeth, taking a long shower and going outside and breathing fresh air
7- One of my favorite memories of my mom... She came skipping into my room one morning (i was still in bed) and before i knew it she was laying on the bed, her hands and feet in the air (doing the action cheerleaders call stars - i hope this paints the picture) showing off what I am fairly certain is the only professional manicure and pedicure she has had in her life. "Don't my feet look so pretty Christiney?"
8- If I could take up one hobby tomorrow it would be rowing (or sculling if you want to get technical on me) Doesn't this look like the perfect way to start your day???
9- I love to watch movies made for tween girls (even though I haven't been one for a while now)
10- I feel the need to live in Australia for a while, but I haven't figured out how to make it work...yet.
11- I really enjoy asymmetry.
12- I am so excited to plant these bushes in a couple weeks!
13- I prefer the raw version of baked goods - cookie dough, brownie, cake, muffin batter, etc
14- I am currently addicted to podcasts. Based on your needs my favorites are : quest to be a lifelong learner - Grammar Girl, Nutrition Diva, Stuff You Should Know, Stuff You Missed in History Class or if any of you need a good story - This American Life or some charming radio personalities to keep you company - Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me
15- One of my favorite words is bibliography
16- I wish I were a fantastic singer
17- I am incredibly vain about my daughter - I'm convinced she is the prettiest baby I've ever seen.
18- I love dandelions.
19- I miss my '89 Acura Legend.
20- The other day, I cried while reading Hailstones & Hallibut Bones (it's a book of poems about the colors - I highly recommend it, not sure why I cried though- nope I'm not pregnant)
21- I honestly enjoy grocery shopping.
22- My legs once got sandwiched between 2 car bumpers, when a truck slid into my friends car and nothing happened - it was crazy.
23- I had a crush on Bobby Flay (food network chef) when I was 14
24- I wish I had a tantalizing vocabulary
25- I cried after I took my last final - I wish I could take one college class a semester for the rest of my life.

I just love you, Christine! I like reading people's "25 things" because you always seem to learn something you didn't know.
Also... I need a tutorial on the pillow. I think my couch needs one or two to keep it company!
It is ok for you to be vain about your daughter. She is adorable.
I thought I knew you...actually nothing really surprised me, it was just interesting. Thanks for the good read. Crying after a final though because you want more? That I cannot relate to! (except maybe the learning thing)
Nice pillow! I would be proud of that one too! Thanks for sharing those 25 things about yourself. I definitely learned something new :)
I agree with you... Bel is the prettiest little girl I have ever seen!
Christine! Awesome Post, I think you should go on blogging binges more often. So many new interesting things that I didn't know about you.
I love that 25 things post... it's such a great way to learn things about people that you'd likely never know! I agree, breakfast is always therapeutic. And dandelions are fun.
Your pillow is super awesome! It may inspire some creativity in me... and that's something!
