In response to the 25 Things thing on Facebook:

1. I have a very noisy cat.

3. Walking from a West End theater to a hotel one night in London was a life-changing event.
4. I'm still not sure what I want to be when I grow up... there's just so much I want to do!
5. The best compliment anyone has recently paid me came last week when a neighbor said, "Whenever I walk by your yard, I think 'little farm in the city'."
6. I horde food and books.
7. I spend 9 hours a week in a coffee shop, and I don't work there.
8. It's been a good week if the car leaves the garage only once.
9. I wonder how long it will take me to feel like it might be ok to travel internationally again.

12. I'm seriously considering learning to make soap.
13. I used to go to church three times a week, but I haven't been in years.

22. Cooking Wednesday night dinner for a dozen people is a highlight of my week.
23. A piece of me misses living in earthquake country.
