You know, I actually knew a lot of those. There a few shockers in there though. Nobody ever told me anything about some of that stuff. For number 85, I'm pretty sure we are actually a quarter French-Canadian. I think that is basically French but with intrinsic lumberjacking abilities. On mom's side, I believe we are scottish. Her real last name started with Mac, which screams highlander.

I remember when you almost fried yourself while washing the car. To this day I tell my girls "Vacuum first, then wash!"

Oh and #58, waaay more than I wanted to know.


You'll have to fill me in on some of these things (26!!????). I'm fascinated.

Love ya Kat...
