(I think I should get 26, since that's how old I am.)
1. I change into sweat pants within 15 minutes of getting home. No fail.
2. I love owning my home, but it sometimes makes me panic to feel so tied down.
3. I sometimes wash my sleep aids down with Diet Coke.
4. Although I think I love to teach, it often drains the lifeblood out of me.
5. I spend more time reading blogs than I do reading books.
6. I read a lot of books.
7. I never thought I would be teaching in America.
8. I spent most of my life ardently serving a God in whom I no longer believe.
9. I think I might want to be a children’s librarian, but I feel inferior when I admit that in front of my Library Science classmates.
10. Dog saliva gives me hives.
11. I love my mom’s dog so much that I always leave her house with hives.
12. I read my reviews on ratemyteachers.com.
13. I wish I could knit. Kirk, will you teach me?
14. Each time my mom tries to teach me to sew, I get frustrated and end up crying.
15. No matter how tight my budget, I always find money for books.
16. I’ve signed up for Match.com twice and, both times, deleted my account in disgust.
17. I know many people who have met wonderful people on Match.com.
18. I think I’m going to be alone forever.
19. Some days, I’m perfectly fine with that.
20. Other days, it terrifies the hell out of me.
21. The fear is mostly because I want to be a mother so badly that I can taste it.
22. I miss my foster son every single day.
23. I pretend that I’m glad he’s able to live with his birth mom, but I’m not.
24. I love to get flowers, but I hate red roses (and carnations, for that matter).
25. I think “peace” is the most powerful word in the English language.

We need to figure out knitting together! I want learn sooo badly!
I love that you change into sweat pants when you get home. You always have!
What do your students say about you on ratemyteachers? I've never heard of it.
Peace is really powerful.
I love you.
26. You have a friend in Southern California who has been missing you a lot recently.
Amy M.
I think of you all the time. I have a picture of the 4 of us on my couch in Riverside with Boa's around our necks and it sits amongst my books in my office. What do you think bout our Sunday night conversations these days? Just curious.
Roxanna,
I love that picture.
I've always thought, and still do think, that our Sunday night chats (around tea on the patio, at the table crafting, or cozy on the couch) were one of the most genuine and life-affirming experiences I had in college. Products of all the judgment and competition at Cal Baptist, we felt so comfortable for a few hours each week. You taught me so much about family, about home, and about friendship. You also taught me that it's okay to struggle but that it's even better to struggle aloud with safe friends.
Even then, I was struggling with my faith in a big way, but it was so good to be in a place where I had a group of women who really loved me and who loved God. I wonder how to reconcile that with where I am now, and I think I just need to be thankful for sweet memories, lasting lessons, and dear friendships.
Also, my mom has been buying me china for my birthdays and Christmas. Fine china's for single women, too, you know? ;)
Sherry, thank you for answering the question. I am so glad to find out it was a respite during those days.
Wish we could do it now!
