Blog Lovin’ Award

Posted on July 1, 2011 by auburnchick

A few days ago, I received a very sweet comment from a fellow blogger who writes Mushy Cloud.  She  wanted to let me know that she had bestowed an award on me…the Blog Lovin’ Award…

Thank you, my friend!  I consider it an honor to know that you read my blog and find it enjoyable.  🙂

Along with the award comes the mandate to share seven random facts about myself.  Seeing as I am a random person, this shouldn’t be too difficult.

  1. I thumb through magazines backwards…from the end of the issue to the beginning.  If I see an article that strikes my fancy, I’ll find the beginning of it and then read it properly.  Weird, I know, but hey, I’m AuburnChick.  I don’t do normal.
  2. I can’t hiccup with my mouth closed.  This drives my family insane.
  3. I loathe repetitive noises like pencil tapping or the drumming of fingers on any surface.
  4. I remember standing up in my crib…when I was a baby.  I don’t care what “experts” tell you about babies not remembering things.  I KNOW this is a real memory.  I also know that I didn’t have any logical thoughts at the time, like “Hey, I’m a baby, and I’m holding onto the side of my crib.”  But I do know that it was me and not some contrived memory.
  5. When I was a child, I contemplated the following vocations:  child psychologist, archaeologist, and accountant (yeah, right…me and numbers…ROFL!!).
  6. If I put my hands on my hip, I am flexible enough that another person can easily pull my arms together so that my elbows touch.  When I was a child, we called this game “Angel or Devil.”  Apparently, I am an angel.  😀

Ok…so now I’m supposed to give this award to fifteen people; however, I blog hop frequently and don’t regularly read fifteen blogs, so I’m going to do as many as I can.

  2. Tiffany (A Walk By Faith)
