Weednesday Hodgepodge

1. What’s the biggest change since your childhood in the way people think or act?

I think the fact that when I was growing up my Mom would tell us to go out and play in the neighborhood and when we heard the bell to come home for dinner. We rode our bikes all over the place, we played climbing trees, and running around. Now kids are in the house, either playing video games or doing homework. Many parents are simply too afraid to let them have that kind of freedom.

2. The Olympic Biathlon involves cross country skiing broken up with either two or four rounds of target shooting. Which part of that would stress you out more? Or would you love them both equally?

Oh shooting after skiing for sure. You know your heart rate would be up, and then you need to hit those teeny tiny targets! Yeah the shooting after skiing.

3. February is National Canned Food Month…what is your most often purchased canned food item? What was in the last can you opened?

Le Sueur Peas! I love them. Don’t ask me why. I am sure they are not all that good for you, but I love them. Whenever they are on sale, I buy a bunch.

4. What river (anywhere in the world) would you most like to cruise?

The Danube or the Rhine. I love Germany and I would love to cruise for an extended period of time both of those.

5. It’s the middle of the night and you can’t sleep…what do you do? Count sheep? Toss and turn? Watch television? Or do you get up and do something productive?

No, I turn on the TV. Usually I can find something that will bore me and thus I fall asleep.

6. How important is keeping your cool?

As I age, I have been learning that I need to learn to not allow myself to show every feeling I have every moment that I have them. My advice to the young would be to learn how to go with the flow and not let things bother you.

7. I’ve got white stuff on the brain so why not run with it? White lie, wave the white flag, white knuckle it, white wash a situation, or white as a sheet…which phrase could most recently apply to your own life in some way?

The white flag. Yeah, I’m waving it because I am so sick of the snow! It’s crazy here. We probably have 4 feet in the back yard. Hubby used the snow blower to make a path for the dackels and honest to goodness, the snow piles tower over them!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Tomorrow is my first weigh in since returning to Weight Watchers! I sure hope I have done well.
