Hodgepodge

Welcome back to the Wednesday Hodgepodge! Be sure to add your link to the bottom of Joyce's post and then go visit the neighbors. After all, that's part of the fun! 

1.  When were you last facing an ocean? Using just ONE word, describe how you felt as you faced that ocean. It's been a long time, probably 20 years. In one word - I felt SMALL.

2. What are three sounds you hate to hear? Tornado sirens, a child crying in pain, and a phone in the middle of the night.

3. This question comes to you courtesy of some real life friends. Hi real life friends! When you shop for yourself, do you try everything on in the store before buying or do you buy, try on at home, and then return what you don't like or what doesn't fit? Try on at home - hate trying on clothes in a store.

4. February 26th is National Pistachio Day...are you a fan of the little green nut? Do you use them in cooking and baking or prefer to eat them right out of the shell? Not really a fan.

5. When did you last have to compromise with someone?  Were you happy to reach the compromise or slightly irritated it was necessary? I compromise all the time and it's just a part of life - you can't have everything your way.

6.  Have you ever written a letter to an elected official? Did you get a response? I send emails to officials at times and have gotten a few responses.

7. We 'March' into a new month at the end of this week...what's something on your March calendar guaranteed to make you smile? My garden!

8.  Insert your own random thought here.Vacation day today - yesterday was a snow day. I kind of feel guilty for not being at work this morning but I wanted today off to prepare for my audit tomorrow. Wish me luck.
