AuburnChick's Adventures

It’s time for the Random Dozen!  I’m calling it Random Dozen – DIY Style!

Come and play along.  It’s a lot of fun and a great way to meet fabulous bloggers!  Hop on over to Linda’s blog to link up!

1. Do you do garage sales? If so, tell me about one great find. If not, tell me why not.

I actually do not go to garage sales, but I have had a few of my own and worked a few as fundraisers for soccer.  Why don’t I go?  Well, because on the rare Saturday that I’m home, I like to sleep in.  Everyone knows that you have to get out of bed at o’dark thirty to get the best stuff.

2. Name the last thing you fixed.

If you’re new to my blog, I must tell you that I fix EVERYTHING in my house!!  I fixed the doorbell (not as easy as it looks), the heating element in the oven, the garbage disposal, the stopped up sink, the vacuum cleaner, the lawn mower’s carburetor, and, most recently, my lawn mower’s wheel.

3. Name your A) Favorite item of makeup OR B) Favorite tool

After Question #2, you’re probably expecting me to answer with my favorite tool, eh?

Well, you’d be wrong!  heehee

My favorite item of makeup is my eye-liner!  I have scraped change together to buy a new stick when I’ve run out!  I never leave home without it!

4. Which room in your home needs organizing more than any other?

I am very organized, though you wouldn’t know it by the mess (thanks to spending at least 70 hours per week working).  But, if I had to pick, I’d say it’s a tie between Rooster’s room and my garage.  As I said, things are pretty organized, but these rooms could do with some improvement.

5. Which room could use re-decorating?

I still consider my house new, even at seven years old.  I guess I’d have to say, though, that Rooster’s room could use some re-decorating.  Although Chicky’s room was painted green a few years ago, we just never got around to “customizing” Rooster’s.  Poor guy.  It’s the Youngest Child Curse – neglect.

6. Share something unique about your town.

The most unique thing about my town is that it is where the one and only AuburnChick lives.  You can’t get more unique than that!  (lame, I know, but it’s all I could think of)

7. If you could send a one-sentence message to your great-grandchild, what would it be?

Love the Lord, your God, with all of your heart and all of your soul, and all of your strength and with all of your mind.

8. Do you Facebook?

I am soooo glad this question wasn’t, “How often do you Facebook?”

So, I guess you know that my answer is yes, I Facebook.

9. Describe your favorite shoes.

I have two new favorites, which I recently bought at Kohls (I got a great deal on them).  I love them!!!

10. Do you listen to more talk radio or more music radio? What kind of station is it?

Ugh…I HATE talk radio!  It’s so annoying!!!  I love my music.  Driving in to work, I listen to a local station.  Once I get to work, I might turn on Way FM or Pandora (tuned to Christian music).  I always play music when my students aren’t in my classroom.  Once, one of my students came in and recognized one of the songs.  It was a Christian song, and he is Muslim.  It was a neat moment.

11. How far would you travel for a really good (favorite) meal?

I do not travel far for food.  I am not a huge eater, so food just isn’t that important to me, although I will say nay to certain places.  So, I’d say any place over ten minutes away, and I’m not going.

12. If you were totally honest with yourself (and us) what should you probably be doing right now instead of blogging?

I could probably be lesson planning, but seeing how most of this week is planned out, I’m vegging.

Oh, who am I kidding.  Blogging is my therapy.  I’d be doing it even if I was strapped for lesson plans.
