To kick off this self-re-discovery process, I'm going to list a few things about myself that I know with an absolute surety. In case I ever forget.
1. I like to travel.
2. I like the smell of Luv's baby diapers. But only the unused ones.
3. My favorite color alternates between yellow and caribbean blue. But mostly yellow.
4. I pretty much have the best friends in the entire world.
5. I don't know what my natural hair color is.
6. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I like country music. And Lady Gaga. And Ke$ha. And the new Selena Gomez song.
7. And Britney Spears.
8. I want to go sky diving.
9. I want to go scuba diving.
10. I want to go backpacking through Europe.
11. There are very few people that I don't like.
12. I love laughing until my stomach hurts.
13. Ben & Jerry's Phish Food ice cream is my manna from heaven.

16. My toes are kind of long.
17. I don't like Walmart.
18. I love Target.
19. I tend to be slightly immature.
20. But that's ok because it helps me be a fun mom.
21. I think soap operas are dumb.
22. And I don't watch reality TV. I just don't get it. Sorry.
23. I do, however, love Modern Family. And Glee. And Psych.
24. I'm still upset over the fact that they stopped Arrested Development after 3 seasons. That show was brilliant.
[postscript: Well, apparently the heavens heard my despaired rantings and so they decided to make one more season AND a movie. This might be the best day of my life.]
25. Disney movies usually make me cry.
26. So does any commercial about animal cruelty.
27. I like to pull weeds and plant flowers.
28. I love to read.
29. I spend more time on facebook than I probably should.

31. Until I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and see how absolutely ridiculous I look.
32. Did I mention I love my friends? Well I do.
33. I also love cake batter.

41. I feel like this list is getting long.
42. I sing in the shower. And in the car.
43. People who make me laugh are my favorite.
44. Luckily I'm easily amused, so I have a lot of favorites.
45. I think that there are few things in this world as rewarding as making a baby smile.
46. I tend to talk to myself.
47. I also tend to be an over-sharer.
48. I would wear flip flops all day, every day, were it practical.
49. I love the smell of rain.

Next step in the process- yoga?

I have good news for you (aside from the fact that you no longer have to clean pee and pubes from the toilet seat). Arrested Development is making a comeback! Ten new episodes this season. Made me think of you. Horray!
LOL- Oh man, you WOULD go there, A. But that's why I love you.
And they are!?! Ok, this very well may be the best news I've received in a few years.
And a AD movie. Due 2013
I also tend to be an over-sharer.
Also...an Arrested Development movie!?!!! Please tell me George Michael is in it.
I love this list.
And that you took the time to share it.
And LOL to Adriene's comment...
Fun list Ashley, but that goes without saying. Of course it is a fun list because you are a fun girl! One of my very favorites, in fact. :)
Yoga actually is pretty magical I think. I have been enjoying it more than I thought I would since our family has been doing a class together here in Escazu.
I was thinking about you all day yesterday. So just know i'm thinking of you and I'm here for you if you need anything. Anything.
Also, I love this list. and you know what? You are about to turn 30in a month and that is a whole new decade. a whole new start. and who better to bring with you in that fresh new decade? 1 adorable 7 year old. you're pretty lucky.
Thank you Sarah- I seriously love you and all of our group of friends. You guys are the best. I am lucky.
And I know I'm super mature and all that, but I'm actually only going to be 29 this year :) But hey- I'll still ring in the last year of my twenties with my gorgeous 7 year old! (And I'll bring along some super awesome friends)
You are a rock! -- I mean, you rock! Thanks for giving us all some insight into the deep layers of your intricate soul.
I love your list. It made me smile way big.
ugh. okay, i'm a dummy. i was thinking this year was a monumental birthday. but it's just a really awesome date (11-11-11). well this year will be a great birthday because i think all those ones have to be lucky.
anyway, enjoy this last year of your TWENTIES! :)
So I am happy to say that I did know you were only turning 29 next month:)Enjoy! It is crazy that we are getting older but way more fun and beautiful. YOu are for sure!!! What a cute list and reminder of how much I miss you!:(
