Wednesday HodgePodge

 

1.    Egg on your face, putting all your eggs in one basket, a good egg, walk on eggshells, nest egg, or a tough egg to crack...which eggy idiom currently applies to your life in some way? Explain

I really had to think about this one because none of the choices jumped out at me. After much pondering, I finally chose “a good egg.” Mostly because I live with one, Mr. D. He’s the best good egg around, and I’ll take him however he comes… scrambled, fried, or just sitting across the table while we share a good cup of coffee and great conversation.

2.   April 7th is National Beer Day...are you a beer drinker? If so do you have a favorite? Beer battered fish, beer bread, beer can chicken, beer brats...which one sounds good to you? Have you made any of these?

I’m not a beer drinker, although years ago I was anemic and had to take B-12 shots for a while.  During that time my doctor told me to drink one beer a day to help my body perk up. What?  So I did, but I didn’t like it.  I found that if it was ice cold I could tolerate it better.  As for beer battered fish, I’ve never cooked it but I do love it.

3.    Do you have siblings? What's the best thing about being your sibling? If you don't have siblings, what would you say are the pros and cons of being an only child?

I had 2 older brothers and have one younger brother.  Because I am the only sister, I am the best sister. 😀

4.  How do you feel about floral scents in products? Do you have a favorite?

Sometimes they can be too strong and overwhelming. If it’s a soft, light scent, I like it just fine. My favorite scent isn’t floral, it’s apple cinnamon.  Apple cinnamon has such a warm old-fashioned and cozy scent, I like my home to smell that way.

5.    What's one thing in your home that begins with the letter G that you would say is a keeper, something you'll hold on to? Tell us why.

Gifts – if someone thinks enough of me to gift me with something, I consider that a treasure, I’ll keep it forever. Unless it’s candy, I eat candy!  Flowers, when they wilt, I toss them and if they came in a nice vase, I'm sure to save it.

6.   Insert your own random thought here. 

Sometimes I think God gives us squirrels just to remind us that even the most chaotic little creatures still find time to stop, sit up straight, and enjoy a snack. If they can pause in the middle of their acorn‑hoarding, tree‑hopping, tail‑flicking busyness… maybe I can pause too. Maybe today’s victory is simply finding a cozy spot, taking a deep breath, and nibbling on whatever small joy is in front of me.

Until Next Time
