Yep. Time for Random Dozen, which means you get to learn 12 more facts about me that you probably didn’t care to know! heehee
Please feel free to join in the group and link back up on Linda’s blog.
1. Do you prefer even or odd numbers? Any particular reason?
Even. I’m all about fair, and even just seems fairer. Think about it. If you have an uneven number of kids at your house, someone gets left out…gained up against. It’s also easier to divide things by even numbers. Trust me. Every morning, the kids and I do devotions. We read about a chapter out of the Bible, taking turns reading the verses. Dividing the number of verses by three does me in every single day…unless it’s a multiple of three. Eek. Math. But, I digress, as usual.
2. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being “not at all” and 10 being Carly Simon-worthy, how vain are you?
I would say a three or four. I used to be a seven. I’ve aged. I gave birth to a couple of babies with random people in the delivery room. I nursed my children for a year each. You stop being vain after that, if you get what I mean.
3. Among these Irish stereotypes, with which do you identify most closely? Talkative, Proud, Inquisitive, Love to party, Hot-tempered
Well, my family would say hot-tempered. My students would say talkative. I would label myself inquisitive. I’ve taught myself how to fix almost everything in my house, and I am a self-taught computer semi-guru. I chalk this up to being curious.
4. How lucky do you consider yourself?
I don’t believe in luck. I prefer the word “blessed.” Of this, I am very…on a scale of 0-infinity, definitely infinity.
5. What is the subject of your favorite post that you’ve written?
VERY tough question. One of the posts that sticks out in my mind is this one, in which I give my definition of success. The other post I thought about was this one, in which I talk about the word indescribable.
6. Describe March weather where you live in three words.
Warm, sunny, refreshing
7. How apt are you at detecting blarney when you hear it? (Smooth talk, flattery)
C’mon…I work with teenagers every day. I can smell it when I walk into the school. I know the moment a student (usually a male) starts spouting off blarney…”Mrs. AuburnChick, you’re the nicest sub ever, and by the way, did you do something new with your hair?” Yeah, yeah, I know you used all of your bathroom passes, and you’ve REALLY got to go.
8. How “green” are you, environmentally speaking?
Sort-of green for the main reason that I don’t have much green in my wallet. I hang clothes on lines in my garage, but beyond that…hmmm…not very green. Podunk, USA doesn’t have a recycling program, so I’m stuck there. A compost pile in the backyard would get dug through on a daily basis thanks to the dogs. AuburnChick hangs her head in shame…
9. What is your favorite song this week?
Not song but songs. With the work I did on the slide show last week, I still have several on my brain.
Time of Your Life – I used this in the slide show for Chicky’s soccer banquet. I cried every time I watched the senior section, which I set to this song:
I also used this song, Boom, which was FIFA’s theme song from the 2002 World Cup…
And The Second Coming, which the Mr. found online and was PERFECT for the team’s incredible season (listen to the words)…
10. You are walking along and see a coin on the ground. What denomination does it have to be before you will stop to pick it up?
A penny. Money is money, and it’s hard to come by these days. But, even in better financial times, I would still pick up pennies.
11. Complete the sentence: “Every time I look outside my window ….”
I am reminded that as soon as I start getting paid more, I’m going to re-grade and re-sod the yard.
12. What was the #1 song on the day you were born? See this site to find out.
I Want You Back by The Jackson 5…
