Six non-important quirks about me:
1. When I was 6 years old I organized a birthday party for myself in July....only my birthday is not in July. Apparently there were several other neighborhood kids whose birthday parties I had gone to, and I wanted one for myself. So I invited about 6 kids over to my party. They arrived on the day of the party, dressed in fancy clothes and carrying gifts. I took them over to the side of the house and tried to have the party there. However they wanted to go inside. I rang the doorbell and my dad answered and I told him we were going inside for the birthday party. Of course I was busted right then and there so the kids went home with their presents in tow. I had to go over and apologize in person to each of the kids parents, and then I was grounded forever.
2. I am a thumb dancing driver. Ever since I was 16 when I drive and listen to music, my thumbs dance on the steering wheel. I do it subconsciously. It still makes my mom laugh.
3. I ran track and cross country in college, and I placed 3rd in the 800 meter dash in 1987 at the NCJAA (National Junior College Athletic Association Championships). Yes it was junior college, but I still got a medal and stood on the podium! It was the greatest moment of my running career. I also still have one record at my junior college, it is still standing more than 20 years later.
4. I can only sleep well on my right side. I am 80% deaf in my left ear and so when I take out my hearing aid at night and lay down on my good ear, it's so nice and quiet and peaceful.....plus then I can't hear my husband snore.
5. My nose itches a lot so I'm constantly twitching it like Bewitched!
6. For my 19th birthday my friends got me a stripper to celebrate. However I had never seen a man naked at that point, or even partially naked so I "refused" to be the birthday girl. The stripper tried to do his routine by handcuffing me to the chair, but I was mortified when he started gyrating in front of me. My roommate happily volunteered to step in and be the birthday girl. I watched from far away on the couch. Please enjoy these pictures from 20 years ago, and notice my died strawberry red hair and eyebrows. I'm a brunette now.
Okay now I have to tag 3 more people. I tag Erin, and Elaine, and also Lauren
Then I have to end with some other good news! I became an auntie again yesterday. My sister-in-law gave birth to a little boy yesterday. His name is Aiden! Tony and I are going to visit them in the hospital later today.

I loved your birthday story! It made me think back to all the quirky things I did as a kid. Used this for inspiration to my responses. How fun! Thanks for including me!
Aak! I've been tagged. I will certainly respond within a few days, but need to think about this!
Thanks for your well wishes. Have a good, no stress week.
What funny stories! Love it!
And especially love the pics!
Congrats, Auntie.
Hi-my list of unimportant things about myself is coming soon--I haven't had much time to write this week yet, but it's coming!
Thanks for the love on my blog!
I just came on over and caught up with your story - the past few weeks have certainly been hard on you, my dear.
I will keep you and your husband in my prayers, and hope that you will soon be more on the same page with ART - or pregnant, so that it doesn't matter! :)
I use to run the 800 meter dash too. I won All Catholic my sophomore year in h.s.
