Introducing..... Countdown Style

So Liesl, did a Countdown about herself on her blog, and I thought it would be perfect as an intro for the Send Something Good introduction that I need to do about myself. It's a lot! Probably MUCH MORE than you want to know about me, but hey, you can skip parts, and I'll NEVER know!
 
This is ME:
 
 
 
TEN things I wish I could say to ten different people (but don't say their name):

1. You are a coward.
2. I think the way you view life is incredibly freeing, and I wish I could be a bit more like you.
3. I still wish we had gone on that date.
4. Guess what? It's gonna be okay.
5. Thank you for the message you wrote, you told me I had depth, was beautiful, funny, and so much more. Your words meant more than you realize.
6. You. You're my favorite memory when I think of an entire summer. I was so happy, too young to see past anything but the tall grass. It was wonderful.
7. You are so much more than you are doing in life right now, and I don't understand why you're letting it all pass you by.
8. I'm sorry I let you down, you deserved so much more.  
9. What's your favorite color?
10. You are the most wonderful friend a girl could hope for. Really, you are.
NINE things about myself:

1. I've never had my fortune told. I've had my palm read, which was so interesting. It's on my bucket list though.
2. I LOVE plays and ballets. But I really want to go to the opera.
3. My eyes are my favorite feature, they've got yellow sunflowers in the centers, most people don't notice that.
4. I can shape my tongue into a 3 leaf clover.
5. I really want to spend a day at the beach, doing absolutely nothing. One day.....
6. When I was younger, I used to read the dictionary, and when my eyes got tired, I'd read the stories in the Reader's Digest.
7. I love to climb trees.
8. I want to own a ballgown. My friend Jen and I have planned for years to throw a masqued ball, just so we could buy ballgowns and dance the night away.
9. I love to be creative, even if I don't finish the mass majority of my projects.

EIGHT ways to win my heart:

1. It's the little things, brushing my hair from my eyes, holding my hand, anything that let's me know you just want to be next to me.
2. Surprises.
3. Letters in the mail.
4. Humor, I love nothing more than a good giggle.
5. Names.
6. Stargaze with me.
7. Chivalry.
8. Kisses, always kisses.

SEVEN things that cross my mind a lot:

1. The Past.
2. Ideas I want to try from Pinterest. So Pinteresting!
3. Gardening Ideas.
4. Finishing my house.
5. Love.
6. Places I want to travel to.
7. The Future.

SIX things I do before I fall asleep: *on the nights I don't just crash into bed that is....

1. Read
2. Shower / Wash my face / Put on socks (can't sleep well without them!)
3. Play Sudoku
4. Write "To Do" lists
5. Check my alarms for the morning
6. Put my puppies away - because Oliver will SO pee on the floor if I let him stay out.

FIVE people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever and no boys allowed!):

1. Dani
2. James - my nephew, he's not considered a 'boy' ;).
3. Dayna
4. Shayna
5. Kayla

FOUR things you're wearing right now:

1. My "A" necklace. Which has rarely left my neck since my friend Heather gave it to me.
2. Big Star Jeans (my absolute favorite
3. Eyelash Extensions
4. A Patterened Scarf

THREE songs that you listen to often (currently):

1. Iris by Goo Goo Dolls.
2. Collide by Howie Day
3. Bottle it Up by Sara Barrielles

TWO things you want to do before you die:

1. Travel through Europe
2. Publish my book

ONE Confession:

1. I talk a lot. A LOT.  But rarely say what's really on my mind.

Oh man, Iris!! That was the song that made me fall in love with the Goo Goo Dolls in high school. I was a huge fan of theirs forever and saw them in concert 3 times during my 'obsession.' They came to my town about 2 years ago and played only new (within the past 10 years) stuff so I was a bit disappointed. Oh, I also want to spend a day on the beach. Just relaxing!
