Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. The Hodgepodge lands on Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. Do you mark this season in some way? Will you be giving something up or adding something to your life in this Lenten season? 

I have never marked Lent, BUT last night at my Bible Study Group we discussed this.  This year, I am giving up something for Lent; it is Facebook.  I first thought alcohol, I enjoy a glass of wine sometimes, but I thought this is't good enough because I don't drink daily.  However, late at night, I do check out Facebook.

2. Pancakes...are you a fan? Syrup or no syrup? Plain, blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or some other add in? Are pancakes on your menu this week? 

I am not a fan of pancakes.  Pancakes remind me of doughnuts and when I eat a pancake, it just kinda sits in my stomach, and I feel yucky.

3. Tell us about a time recently when you felt 'spread too thin'?

I guess it would have to be last Tuesday.  I was late getting home from school.  Daughter texted me at around 5pm and needed me to come to Abingdon to take the twins to basketball practice so she could take the oldest grandson to his practice.  I rushed around and did over the speed limit to get there and was only 5 minutes late.  My school is an hour away from her house, so I was really trucking down the interstate! They were waiting in the driveway for me.  Quickly hopping out of my car, I jumped in her van.  Daughter did ask if the keys were in my car, which I replied , "Yes."  My phone was on silent in my purse and when I arrived at the destination for the twins practice, I was putting her keys in my purse and say MY keys.  There was also seven missed calls from daughter and she was highly upset.  I returned her phone call, apologizing, and explaining I rushed there and had not turned my phone back on.  I guess I was spread a little too thin that evening.

4. What's your favorite jewel or gemstone? In terms of your wardrobe would we find more gem tones, pastels, black and white, or primary colors? 

I have many favorites...opal ( I have an opal ring that I love but someone told me it was bad luck to wear opal if my birthday was not in October), I like sapphires...Burmese Blue and Pastel Pink. 

My wardrobe consist of all!!!  

5. What responsibility do you think is hardest about being in charge? 

I don't like being in charge.  If I am in charge, then my decisions affect people. If something goes wrong, then it is my fault.  Since this question asked about a responsibility, if in charge that would be hard...to me that would be firing someone or having to let someone go.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

This week is turning out to be better than last week.  Tuesday was the key mix up (see answer #3), Wednesday I almost tore up my safe ( a long story), and Thursday I had water in my basement from a pipe that was on the Town's side and was finally fixed on Friday!!  I told my Bible Study Group that I must be living right because the devil was after me all last week.  AND I forgot to post my Wednesday Hodgepodge!

Have a great rest of the week and Enjoy Life!!!
