Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

1. What's something small you tend to sweat even though you know you shouldn't? 

NOTHING!!!  I sweat the small stuff and the big stuff!

2. October 17th is National Pasta Day...do you like pasta? What's your favorite? Cooked at home or eaten in your favorite Italian restaurant? How often do you make/eat pasta? 

I do like pasta and I love eating at Mama Mia's.  I rarely make pasta at home.

3. Do you consider yourself a spontaneous person? Explain. 

Kinda!!  It depends on my mood.  Occasionally, I am ready to jump in and take a trip at the last moment, but then there are times when I just turn down an invitation. Years ago, there would be absolutely no way I would pick up and just take a trip.  The house would have had to be cleaned, schedules made, clothes picked out way in advance, etc.  The older I get, I find myself more spontaneous because life is getting shorter.

4. Who are some of your heroes? Tell us why. 

The first person that came to mind was Mother Teresa.  There have been many famous heroes in history...Lincoln, Martin Luther King, etc.  But I think the everyday heroes get lost some in the shuffle...firefighters, police, EMS risk their life trying to save others and this day and time they probably don't know what they are actually walking into.

I also consider a single moI m a heroes.  There are many single moms who are working trying to provide for the family the best way she can. Some of the moms go without so the children can have.  I know we see the bad side of this situation on the news, but there are still good moms out there trying.

5. Let's wrap it up with something light...Taylor Swift...are you a fan? On a scale of 1-10 how much so? (1=who's Taylor?, 10=a true Swiftie, seen her in concert more than once). If you're a fan what's your favorite T. Swift song? 

 I am a 5 when it comes to Taylor Swift.  "Cruel Summer" would be my favorite.  

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Because of grandkids living with me, my house is getting to look like Halloween!

Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

1. What's something that scares you? 

The future of our world.  I am scared of the type of world my precious grandsons will be growing up in.

2. Do you care where the food you eat comes from? To what degree? 

I care where my food comes from.  I put out a garden this year, and I didn't put a lot of chemicals on my plants to keep the insects away.  I am leery of the fresh veggies I purchase at a grocery store.  When it comes to meat, I am not much of a meat eater and I don't want to eat meat that is grown in a lab.  I buy eggs from a teacher and I know this is okay.  To what degree I would say about an 8 or 9.  I do care where my food comes from.  We (teachers and I) were just talking about this the other day about how girls are maturing faster than when we were their age.  We concluded it is the food they eat!

3. What's something you wish you'd spent more time doing when you were younger? 

Writing down the stories my grandmother and father-in-law told me.

4. Let's play autumn this or that....pumpkin spice or apple cider? Corn maze or haunted house? Horror film or Hallmark movie? Blanket or sweatshirt? Watch football or watch the World Series? Foilage-red, yellow or orange? 

Apple cider, haunted house, horror film (if I am with someone) Hallmark movies make me cry, a cozy blanket, football, and orange foliage!

5. This time last year where were you and what were you doing? 

Last year, teaching where I am now.

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Well, we have survived the pink-eye and stomach buy so far.  I told my daughter, "Welcome to Kindergarten!"
