I've been told that it's blogging tradition for a person to list 100 things about themselves on their 100th post. Have you ever tried to come up with 100 things about yourself? It's hard. It's painful. If you don't want to read this post, I will not hold it against you. I don't really want to read it either. Here I go:
1. When I was born I almost died....and so did my mom.
2. I lived in Utah until I was 6 then we moved to Boise.
3. I wholeheartedly believed my dolls were alive when I was little.
4. I am a certified substitute teacher for the Boise School District.
5. I could (and would) sleep a solid 12 hours every night if life’s demands let me.
6. I am the oldest of 4 children.
7. I can't wear socks to bed.
8. I have lived in 4 states. (Utah, Idaho, Washington, and California)
9. I am sick of driving a mini van. (hopefully this will change in the near future)
10. I want to take a sewing class.
11. I love to travel.
12. I beat up a boy in elementary school.
13. One Valentine's day I received 6 different flower bouquets from 6 different guys. (One was my dad :))
14. I love to play the piano even though I am not very good. I have been practicing ever since we bought our piano 6 months ago....wish I had more time for it.
15. I am very ticklish.
16. Teaching Gospel Doctrine would be the scariest calling in the world to me.
17. I’m pretty sure that there’s one man on this planet that would put up with me, and I’m married to him.
18. I am finding that coming up with 100 things is very difficult!
19. I am a vaccum-a-holic.
20. I talk to my mom every day.
21. I love the vanilla almond Special K cereal.
22. I worked at the MTC at 4 in the morning while in college. How did I ever get up that early?
23. I love Costco but I am still mad at them for getting rid of the cinnamon sugar pretzels.
24. I love having a clean car.....probably because it's such a rare occurrence!
25. Cooked carrots are my FAVORITE veggie.
26. I won for the best speller in the 1st grade and when I recieved my plaque...my name was spelled wrong on it.
27. I hate the thought of ever having kissed anyone but the man I am now married to.
28. I LOVE Dr. Pepper.
29. My husband made me (or maybe STRONGLY encouraged me) to pierce my upper ear when we were dating....I took it right out when the Prophet said only 1 hole per ear. When my dad first saw it he asked me if I had joined a tribe!
30. Sometimes I wish Nate would have taken MY last name. ROCK was such a cool last name. It was both easy to pronounce and easy to remember.
31. For awhile I thought it would be really fun to go to law school. Then I picked up one of Nate's legal books and felt like I was reading a foreign language. No thanks.
32. I had the biggest poofy bangs in the world when I was little. I have the pictures to prove it.
33. I have water-skied on New Years day.
34. My grandma is one of my best friends in the world.
35. Even though I was nervous...I absolutely LOVE being in the Young Women's. My favorite calling of all time.
36. I had braces, head gear, and this nasty lip bumper thing in junior high. Those were some awkward days.
37. I used to know how to do a back handspring.
38. I like to prove people wrong when they tell me I can't do something.
39. Most days I still feel like a kid. I wake up, look around and think “THIS is my house? These are my kids? This is my husband? Wow!”
40. I have so much respect and admiration for my husband. I’m quite certain that he’s smarter than me (don’t tell him I said so), and I’m OK with that.
41. I am not a very superstitious person.
42. I really enjoy playing tennis.
43. I get along better with males. I always have. I have a few close girl friends but for some reason I just click better with boys. Good thing since I have so many!
44. I wish I could afford to surprise my husband with Lasik surgery. Add it to my list of WANTS.
45. This has got to be the longest post I have ever posted....and we're only on 45!? Aggh!
46. I don't know the first thing about filing taxes.
47. I used to wear a size 7 shoe. After 3 children I am up to an 8...sometimes 8 1/2!
48. My favorite place in the world would have to be Lake Powell.
49. Speaking of Lake Powell.....I LOVE to air chair!
50. I am SICK and TIRED of winter. O Spring...where art thou?
51. I got lost at Disney World when I was 5.
52. I am unsure as to who I am going to vote for.
53. I’m sentimental. I don’t like to get rid of things because almost everything has a sweet memory associated with it.
54. If I had to live in Idaho and not live in Boise the only place I could live would be Coeur D' Alene.
55. I love March Madness.
56. I can't really relax unless my kitchen sink is clean.
57.I can't keep a houseplant to save my life. Or its life either.
58. I can sit all morning and watch a bulldozer dig a foundation. It just fascinates me.
59. I've never had coffee to drink, but I think I would probably like it. I like the smell.
60. My silverware drawer stays organized and clean. Which is more than I can say for any other drawer in my house.
61.I really do believe that when you lose yourself in service to others is when you find yourself.
62. I have broken my wrist, arm and ankle and have had stitches a couple of times.
63. I don't sleep well when my husband is out of town.
64. The funniest person in the world to me is my brother James.
65. I have seriously been working on this for over an hour...good thing everyone is asleep.
66.I hate fighting the crowds to go out for dinner on Valentines Day. I would much rather have a romantic dinner at home. (With cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory!)
67. I love one on one time with each of my boys.
68. I watch the news every day.
69. I played on a golf team. I had one HORRIBLE game and quit. Not a good example of perserverance.
70. One time I laughed so hard a pea shot out my nose.
71. Sometimes I want to switch my blog over to private....maybe I will soon.

That was fun to read. We have a lot in common. I had more guy friends in high school then girl. I am a people pleaser too. I wish I was more organized and I love to dance as well. I am not any good though. It was fun to learn all the odd ball things you wrote. I think you should be grateful you are allergic to cats. I just don't like them.
Well wasted- it was fun to learn so much about you! Happy 100!
It's fun to read about all of the fun things you have done in your life. I love learning unusual things about people! You are an awesome person Staci! I wish we got to see each other every once in a while :)
I love reading your blog! Yeah-happy 100 to you! I too am addicted to what everyone else has to say, I know I say this over and over again, but even though we all live far away from each other now I still learn new things from all of you every day--So thanks for the example!
that was fun to read! i totally remember that french fry costume!!! check out my latest blog haha
Very nice. I am proud to say that I knew most of those things or was around when you experienced them. Hey I even know what cyclotetramitherinetetranightramine means. Hah! How long did that take?!
you go girl!! And of course everyone loves reading through a long list like that!! It's just not as fun writing it. Mine took me at least 2 days.
I had a lot to comment on and now I forgot which ones... I am going to have to read it again. Oh, weird that people say you look familiar, I get it all the time too. When we were first married, Aaron couldn't believe how many people said it.. but i thought it was normal. What else, oh, I LOVE what you first said to your husband! And you can tell through your writing how much you love your kids--yet you are real about how much work it takes!
Fun post!
Well I made it through! There were even some things I did not know about you, how about that! Thanks for spending all that time on one blog. Don't check out my blog -k because I don't even think I have spent a total of 2 hours on the whole thing! maybe someday I will. Thanks for the birthday call too!
Well done!
You are so much fun! I loved associating with you in Spokane....those days were great! I wish we all blogged back then...it's been nice to get to know everyone on a different level through blogging....I'm slower to warm up to people, so I think it really would have helped. I'm looking forward to your 200th post to learn a little more! :)
Thanks for the sweet comments everybody!
Sarah....next time I come down to Utah I am calling you for sure! I am thinking of coming down in a month or so.
Amy....I totally know how you feel! I too am slow to to warm up to people and sometimes I wish I had done things a little differently while we were in Spokane. It is funny how I feel like I have grown to know people from the Spokane days more over the blogging world then while we were all in school together! I am glad that we have to opportunity to keep in touch. It is so encouraging to know others who are going through similar situations in life!
Go Girl you are amazing to be able to come up with so many things :)It was fun to read too!
Don't change your blog to private, because then I can't stalk you through the Harris' blog anymore! :)
