6. I still wake up on Saturday and do "my chores" – thanks Mom!
7. I love eating oranges but hate peeling them, so I usually opt for an apple.
8. I refuse to buy anything that labels me "large", even if I like it and it fits well.
9. Pet peeve #2: people with bare feet in public
10. My favorite dessert is cake with a hint of frosting, sometimes plain.
11. I can't leave the house without makeup and can't remember the last time I did.
12. I once bought a supplement that claimed to get rid of freckles (it soooo didn't).
13. In my top 3 most hated things: Running
14. I am irrationally afraid of snakes; it actually influences more of my decisions than you'd think.
15. I am a really sore loser; I've been known to leave a game that I know I will lose.
16. I don't wear eyeliner because I am afraid I will poke my eye out.
17. I love jewelry but I hate wearing it – I'm more of a collector.

19. I have moved 5 times in the last 3 years.

22. I'm a sucker for things that cost $1.00.
23. Sometimes I do the dishes before I even eat the meal.

30. I don't like to be teased.
31. I cut my own bangs and sometimes you can tell.
32. I'm scared if I have babies I will sleep through their crying – I don't wake up for anything.
33. I've always wanted to buy the mannequin outfit at a fancy store.
34. I love the Sky Mall magazine that they have on the plane, I think that they have the greatest inventions in there.
35. On an average day at the VA, I spend about 4 hours working, and the other 4 on the internet looking at blogs, furniture, and boots.
36. Pet peeve #3: walking behind people who are smoking.
37. I am very scared of heights, even if the drop is on TV or in a movie. I get really nervous walking across things that are see-through.
38. Norm brought it to my attention that I have hated all of my jobs, so my complaining about the current one doesn't mean much. I realized this is true - maybe I don't like jobs at all.
39. I don't like to drink plain water – sometimes I don't have any all day.
40. I have a doodling problem – I will be sitting in morning meetings with other health-care professionals and be drawing stars and flowers all over everything. I hope they think I am just taking notes. It's worse when I have a pencil.

Love it! Come up with 50 more. Like once caught hair on fire blowing out birthday candles, or told the church pianist that you could play better than her, or submitted your dad's poem as your own for reflections, or think the words "body" or "pumice" are disgusting.
Wow, all true. I think you could probably finish for me.
You don't like to be teased?! Way to go on marrying Norm! haha and speaking of the Conchords...I need to get that back to you guys. sorry, and I believe that we share pet peeve #1.
Oh Rach.. how I miss you! I'm surprised how many of those things I already knew- and even if I didn't know them, I'm not surprised and I can totally picture it. How I miss those good old days of riding to school on the back of that creamcicle and pretending we were concentrating in class- when we were really just watching you draw those stars all day. Which, by the way, I catch myself all the time in treatment meetings sitting there drawing stars! Thanks alot!
I love your list. Out of 100 nameless lists, I could have totally picked out yours. Way to go at being so "you". You could add to your list the love of napping in a blanket cocoon. Or how you've carried a purse everywhere with you since toddler-dom. And I'd like to add "moist" to the digusting word file.
Look at how creative you are!
This is a fantastically diverse list of Rach-dom. I just got my Flight of the Conchords back from lending it out. My soul was incomplete for 3 weeks...
ok, i absolutely LOVED your post. loved it.
yeah, i agree, you need to come up with 50 more.
ok, and i love that you STILL draw stars on everything...and with a pencil too.
loved that i instantly thought of lovely ms. wentz and her chemistry feet (indian style) on the front counter. gag.
i remember that i used to love peeling your oranges for you, because I loved smelling like oranges afterwards.
ok, where's the next 50? seriously. :) get to it, dude.
- hate it when people lob the ball while playing tennis
-love arden lynn
-used to wear fake wedding rings for fun
-famous for the stomp off and slam
-cry when the beegees are played
-sucker for animal print
-self-tanning master
I WANT YOUR JOB! I don't have enough fingers and toes to count how many times I have not made it to the bathroom ONCE in a 13 hour shift! Oh the spasms after finally making it! Youch!
I love this list! IT was so fun to read!!! Make up 50 more and I promise to do a list too. Very fun to read.
