Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. The Hodgepodge falls on the last day of February this year, a leap year. How will you spend that extra day?

Getting ready for our vacation, and going to Weight Watchers. We are trying to pack lightly, and so a lot of thought is going into this. At least this year I have my Kindle, so I won’t be lugging around heavy books.

2. What has recently required a leap of faith on your part?

There are times I feel that every day is a leap of faith. I pray each and every day for guidance from God, in my life.

3. We’re one week into the season of Lent…are you marking these 40 days in some way? Giving something up or adding something extra to normal life? How’s it going so far?

I am giving up cookies and cakes during the Lenten Season. Not that I really eat them much, but I figured every little bit helps.

4. When was the last time you sat beside a fire?

Last night. I sure love a good fire in the hearth!

5. Surf and Turf is on the menu. Do you order as is or do you ask for just the surf (lobster), just the turf (steak), or a menu so you can select another option?

Menu. If it’s a good seafood restaurant I would order whole belly fried clams! My favorite. Since I am a New England girl, I can cook a good Lobster any time, and tossing a steak on the grill, or making a prime rib, is not tough either, but I just can’t get those clams right.

6. If you could have any television program back, not in reruns but in new episodes, what program would you choose?

Friends. We sure enjoyed that show!

7. They say an elephant never forgets. These days would you say your memory is more like an elephant or a gnat?

I find as I get older, my memory just isn’t all that good. But not gnat worthy either.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

I leave on Friday for our trip. We cruising to the Western Caribbean, while our wonderful house/dog sitter just moves in. I am a little nervous, because we are due for snow here in the northeast and I don’t want flights cancelled. We may yet, have to drive to an airport further south from here.
