The Wiki-Tag

I’ve seen this one going around and it’s a pretty neat meme so I was totally stoked to be tagged by the lovely and sweet-as-sugar 3T!

2. In the Search box, type your birth month and day (but not year).
3. List three events that happened on your birthday.
4. List two important birthdays and one interesting death.
5. One holiday or observance (if any).

My Birthday: August 8th

If you wanna do this one as well on your blog feel free, but make sure to let me know in the comments so I can come check it out! I’m going to officially tag Bunny, Shell and Danger though so girls let’s see whatcha got!

Don’t forget about the lady up there in Room #813, she’s been hanging out with us since Wednesday and is just the bees knees! Also, c’mon back here a little later because the next round of Win It! is going to start today :)

  1. Thanks for playin’ Bug! :-) It seems Nixon events were in the forfront of your Birthday. (I’d say “Eeeewww!” but I don’t want to start a political war here.) ;-)

    Dustin Hoffman has always been one of my fave actors!

    You’re the first to ever tag me, so I’m all exciterated. :)
