Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

1. Speaking of endings....at your wit's end, at loose ends, a dead end, burn the candle at both ends, all's well that end's well, or no end in sight...which 'end' phrase might best be applied to your life lately? Explain.

No end in sight, the seven-hundred and fifty piece  puzzle that I have started doing today seems as if there is no end in sight.

2. What was a must have accessory when you were growing up? Did you own one? If so tell us what you remember about it.

Hair-ties, I used to have very long, thick hair, and keeping it back without hair-ties seemed nearly impossible, so it was always wonderful having a lot on hand.

3. Something that made you smile yesterday?

My sister Piper's birthday made me smile almost all day yesterday. She enjoyed everything that my mom and I had planned for her.

4. January 30th is National Croissant Day. Do you like croissants? Sweet or savory? We're having chicken salad for lunch...would you rather have yours served on a croissant, a wrap, a bagel, bread, or a roll of some sort?

I can't remember if I ever had any, but if so probably sweet. As for the chicken salad, I'd like it on either a bagel or bread.

5. Sum up your January in fifteen words or less.

Pretty amazing and productive.

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

Piper started a 1,500 piece puzzle of Paris, which inspired me to start puzzling, so I started a 750 piece puzzle which is not getting done very quickly, and I'm wondering if I  should have ever started doing it. We could have helped each other on one, but somehow we prefer doing puzzles independently and not having to deal with someone else doing the sections you especially want to.

Hodgepodge on Wednesday

 

1.  Have you ever spent time on a farm? Tell us a little bit about it. Have you ever grown your own pumpkin? Been on a hayride? Driven a tractor? Milked a cow?

I have ridden a tractor before which was a lot of fun to do, but I haven't done any of the others, and I have no desire to milk a cow, it is "udderly" disgusting to me.

2. What's something younger you would like about you now?

Younger me would be pleased to know that I am able to finally do the Y-scale after all the years of trying and failing.

3. What are three things you'd like to do more often? Three things you'd like to do less often?

I would like to have more Bible studies, time to plan out holidays and gifts, and read books. The things I would like to do less often are slumping, talking too quickly when I am excited, and Pre-Algebra. 

4. What's on your nachos?

Well, if I liked nachos ... cheese, and chili beans, I am not that fond of other toppings.

5. What's the most random thing in your purse or wallet? Does it need to stay there?

Homemade invitations, I would like them to stay there, mostly because they are pretty, and because I like random objects in my purse.

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

Thinking about going downstairs at midnight, turning on my keyboard, have the volume turned up very loudly, wear something long, flow-y and elegant, and play an epic song on it would be fun, though my family wouldn't be overly appreciative of it, I fear.

Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

1. We've reached edition number 315 here in the Wednesday Hodgepodge. So tell us, what were you doing at 3:15 yesterday? Is that typical? On a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being low and 10 being high) what's your energy level usually like at 3:15 PM?

I was on the living room couch copying my diary because all the pages have been falling out, it has been very typical to work on copying it every afternoon since there are so many entries. Copying my diary normally wears me out so I don't have much energy to spare to do anything else.

2. A frisbee, a tantrum, a towel, a party, a punch, or a curveball...which have you most recently thrown or had thrown at/for you? Elaborate.

A towel, Piper had thrown a towel at me yesterday to put away after we folded a batch of laundry.

3. What are three things that would help you right now. Tell us how or why.

Socks, chocolate, and music, socks because it is very cold right now, chocolate, because I'm really hungry and it sounds good, and music to cheer me up on this drab cold day.

4. Do you think you're strong? Why or why not? What makes you strong?

I can be strong in a few different ways, like willpower (keeping myself from eating Piper's cookie)

I've been told I'm freakishly strong physically, but there are still things I can't lift, so until then I won't call myself that.

5. Do you enjoy reading historical fiction? What's your favorite book set sometime in the past?

Yes, I love reading historical fiction books. What used to be my favorite books set in the past were Little House on the Prairie series and Life with Lily series, I still enjoy reading them.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

School is starting really soon for us, and I am hoping the weather will warm up some more so I can live up the last few days of summer break while I still have the chance.
