TAG- 7 Unique Things About Me..or stuff you maybe didn't know.
1. When I was young, I always had super short hair...they called it a "pixie" cut. I called it the lazy, sweaty boy cut. It was just easier for my mom, I guess and it suited me because I was a tomboy...or maybe I just was condemned by my hairstyle to be less feminine and clean. Anyway, to get to the point, when I started dating my husband, I looked at his High School pictures and laughed out loud at his full-on mullet. I told him that it was a lucky thing we didn't meet until the mullet was gone or else we just wouldn't have hit it off. I really laid it on thick and gave him a hard time about it...for years. After we were married, my mom gave me an old box of pics and stuff I had left at home. As we perused the memorabilia, to my horror, I found a picture of me in 7th grade where I had a full-on mullet!!! To make it worse, I had glasses, too. I so wish I could put it on here but I don't have a scanner. It was feathered on the sides and long in the back. It was the first time I had had anything other than my boy cut...now I had the freedom to have a white-trash boy cut! I can't laugh at my husband anymore (at least not about that).
2. I don't have a birthmark, but my right arm cannot rotate beyond a certain point. For example, can you put both of your hands forward and face your palms upward? I cannot make my right palm face the ceiling...it will only go about to about the 10:00 position.
3. I started snowboarding after I married my husband. I never got very good at it, but the last time I went was just after my first daughter was born. It was me and about 5 guys (husband, brother and his friends). I had an O.K. time, but was anxious to get back to my daughter who was only about 3 months old. I was super engorged and cold and just wanted to go home. I digress....We were all standing around talking before getting into our cars and someone said something funny. I am very grateful for that joke, because at that very moment, my snowboard slipped out of my hands and hit me square in the two front teeth. Had I not laughed, it would have sliced through my lip! Anyway, my two front teeth broke and the pieces (dumb and dumber) that broke off fell into the snow. Amazingly, I found them immediately, but it didn't matter much...I now have two crowns for my front teeth and it has been a pain and something to complain about ever since. I haven't gone snowboarding since. I should tell people I was doing a cool jump or something.
4. I always sat on the front row in my classes at BYU. I liked to focus and not be distracted. One time when I went to American Heritage, I took off my navy overcoat in the back of the auditorium and walked to my front row seat to sit down. It was then that I noticed that my knee length skirt was tucked into my tights in the back...completetly showing my underwear. Needless to say, I didn't turn around or look anyone in the eye for the rest of that class.
5. I can still do a round-off back flip on the ground although it is much less graceful than in my days of youth.
6. I only kissed two people in high school and they were small kisses. I had to make up for lost time at BYU and while I didn't keep a running total, my roomates and I tallied them up just before my mission. I counted 25 guys and then I kissed two after my mission. My husband made #27. The sad thing is, there was even a guy in there that I didn't remember kissing and was told later that he said we went out a couple of times and kissed. I remembered being his friend, but not kissing him! Any regrets? Nahhh!
7. I can't whistle and I don't know how to make myself burp (I know it's a stretch, but I really can't think of too many things that make me unique)!
TAG----You're it!

No front teeth?? I would love to see without teeth. lol. How funny. We should go boarding together.
I love the hair story. I always worshiped you when you were in high school, you must not have had the mullet then. i remember you making me tickle your arm when I had sleepovers with meg. I thought you were so cool, OK, I still think that.
Are you serious? I can't believe I was such a loser that I made my sibling's friends scratch my back and arm! I have no recollection of that, but I am sure it's my minds' way of blocking out my former meanness and selfishness. No, the mullet was before your time...when you knew me, I had the "Molly Ringwald" do.
She was so HOT - I totally worshiped her. When I took her engagement picture with me to middle school and showed some of my guy friends they said, "That's YOUR sister? What happened to YOU?!!!" I'm still trying to work through that one.
You guys are waaaay too generous. I was not hot and I can't believe you took my engagement photo to school! I was such a terrible sister to you!
I LOVE all those things about you. I really wish you could put your 7th grade mullett picture on your blog. Then maybe I wouldn't be alone in my self-humiliation on the internet! Also I'm so glad I finally got to hear the snowboarding story! That totally sounds like something I would do. I knew there were several hidden, unique reasons why I liked you!
