So I'm "It" after being tagged by Lucy and Bridget. This has been so hard to come up with six more things after feeling like I exposed all my quirks and weirdness in my 100 list. But here are my 6 unusual things:
1. The thought of outer space freaks me out. I don't like seeing pictures of space shuttles, astronauts or anything of the sort.
2. I took a "Sewing For Fun" class in high school. While I was working so diligently to produce straight seams, I seemed to lose track of my hand placement and sewed my finger! When I pulled my hand away, the needle broke from the machine and was completely through my finger tip. I tried to remove the needle from the top but the bottom of the needle was still sticking out of the bottom of my finger. X-rays showed a piece of metal that remains in my finger to this day. I haven't touch a sewing machine since. I admit defeat!
3. I know all three verses of the Star-Spangled Banner from memory. Whenever we sing it in church, the bishop watches me because he's amazed that I don't need the hymn book.
4. There is a pattern in the number of letters in our family member's names. Tara has 4, Caleb-5, Alyssa-6, Natalie-7 and Jonathan-8. NO, we did NOT plan that, I realized it after Natalie was born.
5. While in high school I once skipped Spanish class and tried to change the attendance records (saw a friend, the attendance collector in the hall) to show that I was present but I was unaware that a janitor witnessed the whole process and reported my misdeed. I was sentenced to Saturday Work Force.
6. In the last two months I have run in every weather condition possible. Pouring rain, blowing wind, blinding snow, icy temperatures, power outage-(that was like running with your eyes closed) and even bright sunshine! We've had wacky weather this winter.
Jon, Jen and Emily--"You're it!"
I know it's lame to tag Jon since we share a blog but he can't seem to finish his 100's list but I'm pretty sure he can come up with six. That and being new to the blogging world, I don't have too many people to choose from.

Love the outer space thing. Too funny! The ONE time I skipped class in HS I got caught as well. Detention is no fun. Good for you on the running. I did 6 this morning (the most I have ran since before kids) but had to do it on the treadmill. It was okay though. I had to walk a little, but not as much as I though I would have to.
Have a great weekend!
I felt the same way about finding six more things after the 100 list. But your six things are great. Thanks for doing it.
Hey I even did it and I had 200 things I wrote about me. I keep telling Doug to do it and he says he doesn't have a blog. I told him we share but he begs to differ.
We have had crazy weather too. I am SO ready for spring!!
I was crazy excited when I had so much in common with your 100 list, now I hesitate to mention this, don't want to look like a freaky internet lurker.
But...I sewed my finger last month! Needle broke, string and needle all the way through. The quilt I was working on is now in the trash. I craft no more.
I'm really not that excited about sewing my finger, I'm just thrilled to find a kindred spirit!
Kelly, it feels so good to know I'm not alone!
