That's so two months ago

I know I am a little late catching the "25 Things" fad, but here goes:
1. I love how I feel after I have worked really hard on something.
2. I judge a restaurant on the quality of its bread and judge its service on how often I am brought refill bread basket. I could usually care less about the main dish.
3. I can never cook anything on the stove without it boiling over.
4. I don’t really enjoy relaxing and doing nothing. I would much rather have a to-do list.
5. I don’t read as much as I would like to. However, my favorite genre of books is historical fiction. The Hiding Place is probably my favorite, although it is not fiction.
6. I love getting mail, even if it is just bills.
7. I wear shoes out abnormally fast. The soles always wear out, or come unglued, or some other method of being ruined. I can’t figure out why—I must walk funny.
8. If people misspell my name, I prefer Kellie over Kelly.
9. If I planned on working my whole life, I think I would want to be a heart surgeon (but since I don’t, I am basically a secretary right now)
10. I still plan on doing great things someday!
11. I enjoy learning and school, but can’t motivate myself to keep studying without grades. I love math and science, and hate writing and English. I hope to get a Masters Degree eventually.
12. Snakes, spiders, and most creepy things are fine with me, but I hate mice.
13. The bones in my right arm are 12 degrees off straight. I broke my arm when I was 18 and it was casted incorrectly. It is all okay now though because it was the cast that attracted Neal to me. He says that because of it, I have “more curves than the average girl.”
14. I like my showers so hot that I come out beet red from head to toe.
15. I have always wanted long hair, but it just never grows.
16. I love living in a place with four seasons.
17. I can sleep through almost anything.
18. I am trying to learn how to sew. My mom and grandma were excellent seamstresses, but I didn’t learn from them while I could, and now I have to learn the hard way. I sewed through my finger a few months ago and cut a big chunk off two fingers with a rotary cutter.
19. With #18 as proof, I am a complete clutz.
20. I think my husband’s amazing.
21. I love my four sisters and miss being near them and my parents.
22. I want to have a big family someday.
23. I hate scary movies—I couldn’t go to sleep after watching Ghostbusters. Okay, actually I don’t like most movies. I would much rather, hmm, go white-water river rafting.
24. I have a hard time cooking meat (but do it anyway), especially when I can identify parts of the meat from things I learned in my human anatomy class.
25. My two favorite food combinations are tomato & basil (both of which I have planted in my garden) and grape & lime.
