5. I love Mexican food, but it can't be even slightly spicy.

11. I always liked my male teachers and bosses a lot more than the female ones.
12. I love going to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned.
13. Brendan was the first boyfriend that I had that I didn't get bored with or annoyed at after a few weeks. (Typical for a 15 year old, isn't it?) After 6 months went by, I was shocked. Now after 24 years of "dating" I try to not take him for granted.
14. I'm going to be an empty-nester in my mid forties!
15. I enjoy doing paperwork. Even paying bills is fun for me, just not the budgeting part of it.

18. I love visiting factories and watching TV shows about how things are made.
19. When I'm on a plane, I say a silent prayer everytime during take-off.

21. I don't know how to whistle. I've tried. I can't.
22. I hate wasting time.

28. I love doing laundry. I have my year supply of detergent!

38. When I'm stressed or mad, I clean . And you wondered how I always have my house picked up :)

46. I like to travel and one of these days, I'll "bring you all back something French."
47. I get so sidetracked that it's hard for me to finish anything. You know like when you are making your bed and you notice that you haven't dusted your nightstands in months, but while you are getting your dust rag, you find a towel on the floor, so you go put that in the hamper and then you remember you have clothes in the dryer, so you start folding them, and then you see turf pellets all over the floor so you go get the broom....and your bed never got made, your nightstands are still dusty and....Oh ya, I was making this list.
48. I like fake jewelry. Especially earrings, "long dang-i-ly ones."
49. I marvel at people who can sing, who are naturally funny, and who can design cute blogs! That's a cry for help people!
AND #50:
I have way too many things to do to be making lists like this.

Super cute Leslie! So fun to get to know you better. You are way more talented than me, but I already knew that! I forgot to add baking to my list of dislikes in the kitchen. Could you bring me over something delicious soon?
Unless it's frozen and cost me $20 from a kid selling it to me at the door, I don't ever have yummy items baking in my oven.
LOVE the post. Really cute, and super fun to read!
I may have to steal the idea.

chloe loves the smell of coffee. that is probably her favorite aisle (after toys).
How fun Leslie!! You are a good writer! I can relate to A LOT of things on your list! Now, you'll have to excuse me, I'm off to do a kick butt work out with TONS of sweat!! (LOL!)
I love this! I don't think that I could even think of 50 things about myself....
fist of all, don't say your not funny, because, that was! You are a very clever writer. I loved it. and I really learned a lot about you that I didn't know. but one thing I did know, you are so organized!!! Isn't it the red one? personality type that is.
That was so fun to read. We actually have a lot in common. #47 is the story of my life! I also love school supplies...I still have the pink pencil box that I used in grade school along with many of the pens and pencils.
Wow - more things in common! It amazes me how similar we are! I hate flying but love traveling and France is great - I hope you get there soon. Love the feeling of running my tongue over teeth just cleaned by a professional. Completely easy to side-track, especially while cleaning my house and noticing all the other non-clean parts. You probably saw my blog post about how much I love rainstorms. I hate my over sensitive sense of smell (as does my family who hears about it). And I HATE to sweat! Sounds to me like you are pretty nearly perfect!:)
