25 Things.

Hi there, Devin here. The lovely Laura "Jones" Fletcher and I are spending our fifth Christmas together and to commemorate it, we here at DevandLolly.blogspot.com would like to put together a list of twenty five little-known facts about Laura "Jones" Fletcher.

1. No matter how good you think you are at Mario Kart, she can beat you. Especially if she is using the red koopa troopa or birdo.


2. She is the proud owner of not one, but two bachelor's degrees.

3. For as good as she is at scrapbooking, and for as many wedding books as she has scrapbooked for other people, she has never once made anything for herself. It is a testament to either her selflessness or to her getting burned out. Kind of like the maid with a dirty house, or the mechanic who drives a beater.

4. She is a bad negotiator. e.g. (Laura: $20, Devin: $10, Laura: $25, Devin: . . .)

5. She got a teaching job in this economy despite the best efforts of the state legislature to combine all students everywhere into one big class and fire all the other teachers.



6. She can tell you the plot of any episode of any Disney Channel show. Be it Suite Life of Zack and Cody or Hannah Montana, she knows it by heart. That Annie Jones is a terrible influence.


7. Laura will obsess over a tv show until she has seen all the seasons of it on DVD. Current obsession: The Big Bang Theory.


8. Fines Fines Fines. The amount she has paid in fines to ASU parking , Mesa Traffic Court, and the Gilbert Public Library is greater than the GDP of certain sovereign nations.


9. Laura is easily the most selfless and devoted sister I have ever met. She would do anything for her sisters and even my siblings.

10. Her love of chinese food borders on obsession. Luckily we have a about 80 chinese places within a four mile vicinity of our house, and they all hurt her stomach.


11. She doesn't know her rights from her lefts. Because of this, when I ask her which way to turn while driving, she has started saying "right" by default. Thus, I have learned to never ask her for directions.

12. She loves to travel and would go to Europe in a heartbeat.

13. She plays Settlers of Catan (sort of nerdy) on the internet (really nerdy) against other people on the internet (who did I marry? answer: this guy)

14. She likes to drive. One time we went on a road trip from Gilbert, AZ to San Jose, CA and she drove the whole way there and the whole way back. Ugh.

15. She has had two organs removed: appendix and gall bladder. At age 23, that's an average of slightly less than one per decade. Pretty soon she will start running out of vestigial and vestigial-ish organs to lose.

16. Every time she tries to grow her hair out, she gets about six months in and then can't take it anymore, so she chops it off.

17. She has six toes on her right foot. *

18. She hates gift bags. I mean, despises them. I try to put presents in gift bags and she takes them out and makes me wrap them. This year, for Christmas, I put one of her presents in a gift bag, but thought better of it and wrapped the present and the gift bag.

19. She loves Jesus.

20. When she goes shopping she is always thinking of things she can get for other people. Whether it is a headband for her friends or candy for me, she is always looking for things to get other people.

21. Halloween is her favorite holiday. She loves it so much she will decorate crazily for it and not nearly as much for any other holiday. She loves the candy, the parties, and most of all the costumes. The order of her favorite holidays goes like this

a. Halloween

2. Thanksgiving

d. all them Jesus ones.

22. She has better musical taste than you.

23. When she was a kid, she got chased up a tree by a rooster.

24. She works like inifity hours a day. Like, I think if you divided her salary by the hours she works, she makes less than this kid.

Queen Creek, you owe me money.

25. She is my favorite person in the world.

Anyway, those are some things you should know about her. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night . . . or something.

* May not be true.
