Finishing the list...

68. I only started reading Harry Potter after my parents dragged me to the first movie.
69. On principle, I will not see a movie until after reading the book (exception: see above). I had some fast reading to do after I saw the HP movie.
70. I hate hype, which is why I still do not own an iPOD.
71. Most days I still don’t understand how my sister and I came from the same set of parents.
72. I used to pile all my clothes on a desk chair. Now I can’t stand it if my clothes aren’t hung up in order of color.
73. My mother is a trained classical pianist who insisted that we learn piano. I also played the flute, attempted the violin, and still have an acoustic guitar.
74. I want my kids to be at least bilingual, probably with French as the second language.
75. There’s nothing cuter than a two-year old speaking French.
76. In high school I went through an existentialist period. It lasted maybe two months.
77. I’m naively optimistic sometimes.
78. I have always been cold-natured.
79. This explains why I constantly wear socks around the house.
80. My favorite movie of all time is Much Ado About Nothing.
81. That started my crush on Robert Sean Leonard.
82. Which may be part of the reason I love watching House.
83. I love cold, rainy days when I can curl up with a book and cup of hot chocolate (with cinnamon and chili).
84. London holds no appeal, except for the museums.
85. I wouldn’t mind having a vacation house in Italy or Greece.
86. Genetics has dictated that I will only ever be a shade of pink. I don’t have a tanned cell in my body.
87. Those same genetics also mean that I could have a child with blond or bright red hair. And hazel eyes.
88. The first time I will have a fully stocked bar will be when I move into my first house.
89. I wish I owned enough clothes to fill my closet.
90. My feet have always been large. I wore a size 5 shoe when I was in 5th grade.
91. Now I don’t mind my shoe size because I like the way my feet look.
92. If I don’t get enough sleep, I feel nauseous.
93. I would rather skip dinner than breakfast.
94. I could probably be vegetarian for a year, but never vegan.
95. I love corny jokes and puns.
96. Even if I can’t tell them without laughing.
97. People who don’t recycle annoy me.
98. I would rather take the train than drive to work.
99. I prefer writing in black ink, but am more picky about the type of pen than the color.
100. I take notes in multiple colors of ink.
101. I could spend hours designing my ideal kitchen, only to completely re-do it the next day.
102. My personality wavers between fits of brilliance and moments of blonde.
103. One of the biggest compliments ever was my grandfather telling me that he could fit his hands almost all the way around my waist, just like when he married my grandmother.
104. It is inexcusable to mix up it’s and its, their and they’re, and your and you’re. However, colloquial use of good instead of well is acceptable.
105. Waking up in the morning with the morning-after make-up is fantastic. I usually like it better than when I put it on the night before.
106. I’m really good at Sudoku, decent at chess, but I can’t play video games for the life of me.
107. I don’t tell my best friends I love them often enough.
108. But I can’t imagine my world without them.
109. I slept with my stuffed teddy bear until last year.
110. Hot water bottles immediately remind me of being home.
111. The last time I had a pillow fight was last week.
112. The perfect end to a day is falling asleep with his arms around me, and then waking up with the puppy at our feet.

Girl, I had no idea you liked the 112! I loved reading yours. I agree with you on many of them -- like how awful it is when people mix up "its" and "it's." UGH.

So happy you're happy.

Hugs to you!
