1. I've lived in eight states and one foreign country if you county the summers from college I spent at my parents' house. I've actually lived in Texas, Kentucky and Missouri twice each.
2. If you add up the years I spent in Missouri and Kentucky I've lived in those states for nearly 21 years. That doesn't leave much time for all those other places.
3. My cat, Tippy, acts like a dog half the time and a giant baby the other half.
4. I make a conscious effort to not talk about Tippy too much (though I sometimes fail). I don't want to seem like a crazy cat lady, unless I'm talking to my friend Meggan then we geek out about our cats.
5. I refuse to live in Hyde Park because I don't want to be the stereotypical single woman with a cat who lives in Hyde Park. Instead I am the single woman with a cat who lives in Ft. Wright. See how that is completely different?
6. I regularly buy Frosted Flakes under the assumption that if I bought the more adult Corn Flakes I would just put suger on them anyway.
7. I will watch just about any televised sporting event. Often I don't even care who wins.
8. I'm pretty sure I watch more TV than almost anyone else I know. It doesn't bother me. I love my Tivo.
9. My favorite TV show is Lost or maybe 30 Rock.
10. I love to take a nap in the afternoon and do it whenever I can.
11. Now that I am looking for a new career I worry that I won't love anything as much as I love journalism.
12. Every time CNN has a story about new layoffs somewhere, I feel oddly happy. Then I feel bad for feeling happy.
13. I always wanted a Mini Cooper and now that I have one I can't believe how much I love it. I can think of no other car I'd rather have.
14. I worry that I don't listen to enough music. There's so much new stuff out there that I feel like I can't keep up, but I still try.
15. I have a small collection of photos of me kissing statues of Thomas Jefferson.
16. When I was 2 years old, I saw the St. Louis Arch and though it was a McDonalds. What can I say? I was hungry.
17. I read about two books a month, sometimes more if they're short. I've never read an entire romance novel but I am a sucker for chick lit.
18. I'd rather eat gummi worms than chocolate.
19. One of my earliest memories is of me in the kitchen watching my dad cook breakfast while he sang "Jeremiah was a bullfrog..."
20. I'm not a morning person. Never have been.
21. I don't drink a ton of coffee, but I've made a pot almost every morning since I was 13 years old.
22. My mom is pretty sure I'm going to write the great American novel. Instead I give her lists like this.
23. I don't like it when people have secret second plans that they don't tell you about. It's my pet peeve.
24. I hate the word "empowered." It makes me throw up a little every time I hear it. You either give people the ability to control things or you don't. Empowered just means lip service to me.
25. I always bet on number 9 when I play roulette. It has paid off more than once.

I am super impressed that your blog list is different from your Facebook list! Makes me want to go back and think of 25 more things.
