1. I used to own a worry rock. Yes, I believed that it really worked, so I would rub it whenever something worried me, which was frequently (this was a long, long time ago). I've learned that praying is so much more efficient.
2. I didn't learn to swim until I was nine years old. I'm a chicken. I asked Jesus in my heart long before then but put off the baptism until I could swim. (Note to those who get sprinkled, etc.: you don't have to swim through the baptistry.)
3. I had a bad perm. Really bad. See below.
4. I played basketball at the YMCA in the sixth grade. Shot at the wrong goal twice and made it both times. I couldn't figure out why no one was going for the rebound. Also, all of this was done while sporting the above mentioned hairdo.
5. Sang a solo at church (while in college). Forgot the words and actually said "blupblablurpbalblurp" into the microphone, laughed, set it down and left the stage mid song. Thanks, Matt. I blame you for this one.
6. I let a strange man into the house while Matt and I were home alone. I was only in the third grade. I thought that it was okay because he showed me his driver's license.
7. I had a Ritz Cracker sweater in the ninth grade. I wore it to the Valentine's Dance. What was I thinking? Everyone wants to dance with a giant box of crackers? Those of you who went to school with me saw it many more times. Oh, the white tapered-leg jeans make it so much finer!
8. During rush at MSU, I wore the top to my cute outfit backwards all day. When I realized it, I discovered the darts meant for the front of the outfit were on my shoulder blades.
9. Used to think the star on the map denoting the state capitol was my house.
10. Was very irritated that we never got to see the inside of Oscar the Grouch's garbage can. How did he fit those elephants in there?
Hope you enjoyed it! I tag Beth and Jennifer H.

Love your list! I laughed out loud and Parker loved the pics of when you were younger. I guess he remembers you in those days. Love the poodle John Allen posted also. So funny. You were not alone in that hair style. I also had it. What were we thinking?
THANKS FOR THE GREAT LAUGH!!!!!!! I needed it! You are awesome!

I thought I knew you. Ha! You missed the Slugburger Festival in college.

How funny! I also had the same perm...from Debbie! Didn't you go there to get your hair cut?
I assume your sweater was one of the Eagle's Eye themed sweaters. We had many of these at our house between the 4 of us.
