Wednesday Hodgepodge

Wednesday! Time for hodgepodge over at Joyce's - From This Side of the Pond.




1. What are three words you would use to describe your 2011?

difficult - financially
enlightening - as in my job (and not necessarily in a good way)
over! - 2012 will be better!

2. Do you like shrimp? What's your favorite way to have it prepared?

I like shrimp just about any way. Breaded and fries is probably my favorite.

3. Is your house de-Christmased? If so, when did you tackle that job? If not, when will the decorations come down?

Yes it is and has been since the day after Christmas.

4. Do you like to watch scary movies?

Depends on the subject matter - I don't mind the sci-fi or ones that couldn't ever happen but when there are psychotic killers running around it bothers me - those people are really out there!

5. ice skating~sledding~ skiing~snowboarding...of the four listed which wintertime activity do you most enjoy?

Ice skating - although I haven't been in years.
6. Did you have a childhood hideout? Describe it.

No hideouts - as an adolescent we spent a lot of time driving in circles around town. From the high school to the other end of town at the bowling alley, back to the "Tastee Treet", back to the high school to do it all over again.

7. What's a place or space that motivates you?

I guess that would be my house - either early in the morning or late at night when all is quiet and I can think.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Went on Facebook last night to discover that it's time for my 35th high school reunion. WOW, where did those years go?

  2. The years have a way of slipping up on you, don't they? I mean, I've been out of highschool 32 years, but my mind keeps telling me it was only yesterday.

  3. Driving as an teen--boy, did that bring back memories. I used to do the same thing--from Dairy Queen down main street to the end of town and back. I thought I was so cool!

  4. I agree on #4. I think the psycho ones only encourage real-lifer's to follow through on their rampages.
    And on that happy note ;)...Happy 2012!

  5. Time does have a way of marching on. Ahh, the joys of driving just to drive and see friends and hang out...I loved that too.

    Hope this new year is a happy and healthy one for you!

  7. Wahoo to #5! Most people wrote skiing. I am an uncoordinated ice skater who is paranoid of the ski lifts. =)
