AuburnChick's Adventures

So, this week’s questions are a smorgasbord from Linda’s readers.  Hence, the questions truly are “random.”

1. From “Men Are Dumb ….”: If you had a theme song that played whenever you walked into a room full of people, what would it be?

“Here she comes, Ms. America”

Then, everyone would stop and stare at my beautiful self doing the beauty queen wave and listening while I thank them all for sharing the same breathing space as me.

Vain, I know, but work with me.  I’m administering my first final exams as a teacher, and I’m a little sleep deprived.

2. From Pam of “Alert And Oriented x 4”: Which of your shoes are your absolute favorite, and which are of the object of your most painful shoe-buyer’s remorse?

I love these…they make my big ole size 8 feet feel dainty.

My least favorite would be a really nice pair of high heels that keep slipping off of my feet all the time.  No picture though.  I’m feeling lazy.

3. From Susanne of “Living to Tell the Story”: Tell about your favorite birthday celebration that you’ve personally experienced.

I think my most recent birthday…in March…when I turned 40.  I did not have to sub, so I took the entire day and played.  I drove to two very nice yarn stores (an hour and a half away) and bought a bunch of yarn (with the blessing of the Mr.).  My favorite part was when Rooster told me that he could have gone to a couple of friends’ houses, but he had chosen, instead, to stay home with me because, in his words, “In three years, I won’t be here to celebrate your birthday with you.  I’ll be in college.”  Melt my heart!  Who wouldn’t love to hear that on her birthday?

4. From Lori of “Just me and My Life”: If you were a flavor of ice cream, which would you be?

Is there Pina Colada ice cream?  If not, then I’m hereby inventing it.  I want something that is like me…a breath of fresh air with the happiness that you feel when you visit the beach.

5. Cindy Swanson of “Notes in the Key of Life” asks: Have you ever had a crush on a movie star? Who was it, and are you still crushing?

No, I have never had a crush on a movie star.  Lame, I know, but what can I say.  I’m just that way sometimes.

6. Jill from “Jill Boyd’s Place” inquires: Glasses or braces–if you had to wear one, which would it be?

I’d wear braces because they are temporary, and glasses are not.  Besides that, I grew up wearing the thickest glasses known to man before having my eyes fixed in corrective surgery.  I will not return to glasses until I am an old, old lady.

7. Nel from “Fasteneau Facts” asks: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

Hawaii.  Why?  I don’t know, but the beach pictures I see on TV or the internet are always so pretty.  Plus, it’s warm there all year around, and I need to live in a warm climate.

8. Thena from “Patiently Waiting” wants to know: If money were no obstacle, what would be the perfect birthday gift to receive?

I would love to have a live-in maid and cook.  Hey!  The question said money is no obstacle, so why not reach for the stars?

9. From “Life Through Bifocals,” LynnMarie asks: What is your favorite birthday meal?

My favorite birthday meal is anything I do not have to cook.  Anything except for Zaxby’s, which makes me sick to my stomach.

10. Debby at “Just Breathe” checks in with: Do you still send hand-written thank you notes?

Yes, I still hand-write my thank you notes.  In fact, I make the entire AuburnChick family write thank you notes.  Nothing says thank you like a penned note.

11. Linda from “Mocha with Linda” poses this question: What is something you’ve done that you never thought you’d do?

I never imagined that I would own three dogs…at the same time.  They are a joy to watch…almost like having children.  I love seeing how they interact (except for Molly and Aubie, who cannot be together because they will kill each other).  My dogs have greatly enriched my life, and I am so happy that I have them.

12. Jewel, my homegirl from Indiana who writes at “Musings from the World of Jewel,” is very insistent that we answer this: Mount Rushmore honors four US Presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. If you could add any person to Mount Rushmore, who would you add and why?

How about the person who invented chocolate?  I mean…seriously.  Chocolate can solve world peace.  That person’s face should totally be on Mount Rushmore.

If my answers sound loopy, please forgive me.  I am exhausted and simply answered according to whatever popped into my head.

Go visit Linda’s blog.  Link up.  Visit other blogs.  Leave comments.  Make new friends.

That’s my PSA for the day.  😀
