AuburnChick's Adventures

Ok…I’ll play.

Lamby Knits tagged me, so it’s my turn. First of all, the rules.

1) Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2) Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3) Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

I have tagged Amanda, Arielluria, Aimee, Deb, Shandeh, Mason, and Mariblue. Don’t forget to check out their blogs! They’re quite nice!!!

Here are seven facts that others might find interesting about AuburnChick:

1) I am a goofy Newfy…meaning that I was born in Newfoundland (but I’ve lived in the U.S. all of my life).

2) I am a naturalized citizen. That was an awesome experience! My naturalization took place in Miami. You can only imagine the number of countries represented during the ceremony.

3) I was the state typing champion, on a manual typewriter no less, in Alabama in 1980-something. Sure, sounds geeky, but I am a proud nerd…what can I say. Oh, and did you catch that it was a MANUAL typewriter?? Yep…they still had those back then, although we also had electric and electronic typewriters. I made the unfortunate mistake of sitting in front of the manual typewriter the first day of class. There I sat for two years of typing class. No, I did not fail. I chose to take Typing II the second year.

4) I was born on Easter Sunday. That’s pretty cool, to me at least.

5) My high school graduating class only had 18 students, including me. I graduated #2. 🙂

6) I recently won a $100 gift card from Chick-fil-A. During Auburn’s college bowl game, sponsored by Chick-fil-A, I went online and registered for a free breakfast sandwich. Last week, an envelope arrived in the mail, and inside were a calendar (the kind with the free coupons on the bottom of each page), a coupon for a free breakfast sandwich, and a gift card that you were supposed to take to the restaurant to get them to scan. When they ran mine through, we discovered that I was one of the 2,000 winners (out of over 150,000 that were sent out)! What a great day!

7) I love to shop in office supply stores. Forget clothes shopping…just take me to a store that sells pens, paper, and office gadgets, and I’m all over it! Yep, AuburnChick is definitely a nerd.
