Scavenger Hunt Answers!

Did any of you participate in the Scavenger Hunt this time? How much did you know about me? Let's find out!

• What Christmas gift did I loathe so much that I made it stop talking?

The doll that I got from my mom that came with its own microchip that annoyed me to no end.

• What is a game that my brother and I played as children?

Superman and the Couch. That wasn't the game's officiaila name. We just played. My brother insisted on being superman though. :)

• What unusual place did my brother and I sometimes play in outside?

The soybean mill.

• Name the band that I loved as a preteen.

It was undoubtedly the Backstreet Boys. You can read the post I wrote about it here if you wish.

• What did I chew on at a friend's sleepover?

A glow in the dark stick. Read all about the dramatic tale of a girl who thought her life was over then and there.

• A female Kohl's sales associate didn't know what this is. What is it?

It was a camisole. Yes, my dear readers, a camisole. I was shocked that someone in retail didn't know that.

• What did I dress up for Halloween as a child?

A princess.

• What did I give my grandparents for their anniversary?

A poem. You can read it here. Just click on the button to enlarge the picture for easier reading.

• What did my brother and I do to my dad's former girlfriend's daughter one afternoon?

We got dust in her eyes in a race that ended in silence. Read it for yourself here.

• What kind of AFOs (braces) was I wearing when my brother was wearing these:

My braces had butterflies on them. I figured if I had to wear them, they might as well look pretty. Don't you agree?

Stay tuned this week! I have a hilarious post coming up that involves a song, me, and a whole lotta laughs. You don't want to miss it! You'll never know what I might come up with next!

Sidenote: My birthday is Wednesday and I have a doctor's appointment. It will be a long day, but it will be worth it if I get what I need.,

Scavenger Hunt Answers

Lots of people thought the scavenger hunt was a great idea, but no one left me a comment with their answers. Maybe you were so busy searching for the answers you forgot to comment. Yeah, that's it. I know everyone is dying to know the answers. Since I don't won't any of my beloved readers to die from curiosity, I will reveal the answers.

Extra Credit Question: In your opinion, what's my blog about? My mom thought this would be a good question and so did I.


Since this was an opinion question, there was no right or wrong answer. I wanted to know what everyone thought.

You Gotta Dig to Find the Treasure

I'm glad that you all like the modern scavenger hunt. Is it too hard? If so, I never meant it to be. If I do another one, I'll only do five. Some people like a challenge, and I'm happy to oblige.

What's the treasure you ask? Finding out more about me of course! I guess this is my version of the "Ask me Anything" posts that are common in blog land. Instead of asking things, you go find them. While I'm not opposed to doing one of those, I'm not so naive to not know there are some crazy people out there.

I'll do a post with the answers to the scavenger within the next few days. I want to give everyone a chance to do it. I'm all about equal opportunities here at Making my Mark.

Modern Day Scavenger Hunt

The reason I say it's a modern day scavenger hunt is because it's going to be done with a computer instead of outside. I saw something similar on Pioneer Woman's website, but I came up with the name myself. Honestly, I had forgotten all about the one she did. I wanted something different, and this is what I came up with! Blogger doesn't want to fix my spacing, so just ignore it. I'm not sure why it looks like that when I post it, it looks ok on my end.
