Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

1. Find a penny. Look at the date and tell us something about your life or what you were doing that year? 

Penny date 2003.  I was teaching ...same school I am currently teaching (part-time) and the same subjects...Math 6, Math7, and Pre-Algebra.  Back in 2003 throw in English 8!  I imagine I  was busy with both daughters, who were both involved in school stuff...the band, sports, scholastic bowl,etc.  Busy but how I miss those days!!!  I was currently living in my favorite house EVER!!  have moved twice since then.

2003 a year that I can't remember any major headlines so it must have been a year without drama.

2. Were you given an allowance as a child? Did you have to earn it in some way? Did you learn to save money when you were a child or is that something you figured out as an adult? 

I was not given an allowance when growing up.  No allowance was given till I was a freshmen in college.  Even though I wasn't given an allowance as a child, there were chores to be done and consequences if the chores weren't completed.

Saving money was something I figured out in college and really mostly as an adult.

3. April 23rd is National Take A Chance Day...what's a chance you need or want to take?

A chance I want to take is taking a trip.  But I don't want to drive 6 hrs by myself.  I am just not comfortable (right now anyway) driving a long distance by myself to a place I am not familiar with at all.  Desperately want to meet up with my friends and there is no way geographically  we can hook up without going hours out of the way.  I have even looked at flights and there appears to be no way.  Wanting to go but hesitant.

4. What's some outdated slang you seem to use a little too often?

Two words came to mind.  First word, split.  Let's split when I was ready to leave.  The second word is bummer.  I still use both of these words. 

5. It's National Poetry month and I always like to make us work our brains a little...

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I am thinking about 

Getting a 3rd tattoo

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I was able to mow the lawn yesterday.  Glad I did because it is cold here and the latest weather report is calling for snow flurries tonight. YIKES!!

Have a great rest of the week!
