1. I have lived in nine states and three countries.
2. I rarely drink tap water. I typically only drink bottled water (bad for my teeth, I know!).
3. I only wash my hair twice a week. I lucked out with EXTRA thick hair. However, on the downside it does take me an hour to dry it.
4. I am a paper addict! I LOVE all types of paper products, but I think Caspari plates and napkins might rank at the very top of my list.
5. I speak English, Spanish and a little French.
6. I am really bothered when people do not RSVP to an event or when they RSVP and do not show up.
7. I never had a TV in my room until I went to college.
8. I met JFK Jr. at the Peabody in Memphis. What a charming man!
9. I LOVE themed parties!
10. I have never been to Mexico (but I have been all over Central America).
11. Getting my mail is always such an exciting part of my day. I am always hopeful there will be loads of fun new magazines!
12. I want to go on a Safari someday.
13. I used to be very in to riding. I was even the champion of the beginner category for the country of Honduras when I was nine.
14. I think horseback riding is (or was) my only athletic talent. I am terrible at all other sports!
15. I LOVE food but am somewhat of a picky eater. I really do not care for fish and never crave meats.
16. I am extremely afraid of roaches. Of all the insects they are the one I just cannot deal with (spiders are a close second).
17. I am not a fan of amusement parks, but I do love the fair.
18. I have never been on a cruise, but want to do a Cunard getaway sometime soon.
19. I love to watch sports on TV and also love attending sporting events.
20. I had LOADS of obsessions when I was little (Lisa Frank, trolls, American Girl, Beanie Babies).
21. I got out of the Beanie Baby phase at the right time. I sold around 60 of mine for $7 to $10 each when we lived in Panama and then donated the rest to a local children's hospital.
22. I love to wrap gifts and arrange flowers! It is a creative outlet for me.
23. I once road my bike in to our pool. I used to ride around the pool when we lived in Honduras as I could not ride on the street and one day came too close to the corner...in I went...back wheels first.
24. I LOVE to stay incredibly BUSY!
25. I do not have a good voice, but I LOVE to sing in the car and at church.

Is it your birthday today? I thought of you and your blog when I saw my cousin's new fabric company: http://thatchersfinetimelessfabric.com/
HAHAHA! I can imagine you falling into the pool on a bicycle! CLASSIC!
I really enjoyed this post. FUN items! HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!
Xx,
Muffy
The image of Ms. Hopsy falling into a pool on a bicycle is making me laugh out loud. In an I'm laughing WITH you but not AT you sort of way. :-). Happy Birthday!
Happy Early Birthday!
when i was younger, my lisa frank collection was my LIFE.haha. happy birthday!
you are just adorable and I love all of these and you for all of them :) have you ever thought of getting back in the saddle again and picking up horseback riding as an adult?!
Happy weekend and Happy early Birthday Hopsy :)
kHm
Haha, what a great list! I never had a TV until college either, and it was so precious to me when I did! And I was madly in love with Lisa Frank!!
Happy Birthday! :)
Your 'roach' comment cracked me up. My husband, for the most part grew up in Texas, and we now live in Iowa. He LOVES the fact that there are NO roaches in Iowa and has absolutely no desire to move back to Texas even though his family lives there. All because he HATES roaches. I wouldn't mind Texas again, roaches and all - I lived there for 10 years and loved the fact that my geraniums were out in pots by Valentines Day. That is so NOT happening now in Iowa. Thanks for the chuckle. Again, Happy Birthday tomorrow.
Such a fun list! Happy birthday - 25 is a milestone! I love a theme party as well :)
I wish I had gotten out of beanie babies at the right time! I still have all of mine and I don't know what to do with them besides keep them for a future daughter. Le sigh.
hi there! cute post. that's pretty impressive to be such a great horseback rider at nine years old!
Happy early birthday ,Hopsy! Your list is fun! :-) Did you ever receive my email? Sad I never heard back from you. :-(
I hope you have a FABULOUS birthday weekend! You are one beautiful lady!
Happy Birthday :)
I agree with you on the RSVP issue. It is so rude. We had a lot of people not show up to our wedding that had RSVP'd. It really urked me!
Hopsy,
Your father and I have shared many of these memories with you. You have been a joy to us since the day you were born!!! We LOVE YOU!
Mom and Dad
You should really visit Mexico! I am scared to death of roaches. I loved reading your post! I also hate it when people do not RSVP to parties as well!
I also did not have a television in my room until college! Happy almost Birthday!
Happy Birthday! I to had to wait until I was in college to get a television (granted I am 40!).
Happy 25h birthday to you. Such fun 25 facts. Thank you for sharing. Enjoy your shopping jaunt to Tory Burch, a great way to start your birthday celebration!
Cheers ~ deb
Been on Safari and it is truly amazing.
I've been following your blog for a while...just love it! Happy Birthday! So young, yet sophisticated!
Happy Birthday!! :)
You met JFK Jr.???? I'm not a boy crazy girl but I think he's the most beautiful man I ever seen. Mexico is completely overrated. I've been twice and don't care to go back. There are much more interested places to visit.
Happy birthday, 25 was my best year, I met my husband, found my home in London and had so much to look forward to. Let's hope this is a fab year for you. I too love getting post, what happened to the joys of sending cards? I digress, anyway, found you via the preppy badge, will be back for more. All the best, Coryanne
Happy happy birthday sweet Hopsy! xox MBM
Happy Birthday! Also, I loved Honduras when I was able to visit a couple years ago...how fun that you lived there when you were young! It's beautiful there!
What a fun list! I only wash my hair 3 times each week - it takes me FOREVER to dry it too - but it's also much healthier for your hair :)
I can get you a great deal on a Cunard cruise! Email me if you are ever interested: mariesellscruises@gmail.com!
Cute blog, BTW!
What a fun post! Happy Belated 25th, Hopsy!
Cute list...I also only wash my hair twice a week! I just started that a few months ago, and my hair feels so much healthier! My hair takes about 20 minutes to blow-dry, and I added up how much time a year I was spending under a blow dryer, and I was astonished! And I also never had a TV in my room till I moved into my dorm. I got so tickled at your childhood obsession one...LIsa Frank...haha...I had completely forgot about Lisa Frank stuff. I, myself, was obsessed with our Sanrio shop...Keroppi and Spottie Dottie. Hope your birthday was a happy one!
