Hodgepodge Volume 56

Grandma Got Run Over by the Hodgepodge-Volume 56

Wednesday again - time to hop over to Joyce's at From this Side of the Pond for the weekly hodgepodge.

1. Will you be hosting any house guests between now and the end of December? Does that thought make you happy or crazy? Do you do anything special to make your house guests feel welcome? How long should a guest stay?

No guests this year :( - would love for my son and DIL to be able to be home but that's just not possible. Do I do anything special? Nope - anyone that would be a guest at my house knows me pretty well and knows they are welcome. How long should they stay - as long as they want to!

2. Walter Elias Disney was born this week back in (Dec 5) 1905...what's your all time favorite Disney movie? Here's a list in case you're struggling...and yes, you have to pick one.

The Santa Clause - it came out the year my daughter was born and we watch it every year!

3. What's the last thing you purchased that you realized was a mistake after the fact?

I can't really think of any right now.

4. What percentage of your Christmas shopping is done online?

Probably about half.

5. Amaryllis...snowdrop...poinsettia...your favorite winter blossom?

Don't know what Amaryllis or snowdrops look like so I guess it would be poinsettia.

6. What is one thing on your personal wish list this year? I think we all want peace on earth so let's make this an actual item.

An e-reader.

7. If you could only use one word today what would it be?

Determination - I could really use some right now.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Does anyone else get annoyed by the "voluntary" surveys that we are asked to fill out by employers and government agencies - just how much information do they need and what do they do with it?
