Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What’s the last job you did that required elbow grease?

I burned a stainless steal pot with (oh gosh, can’t recall) and I wasn’t sure how I was going to get it clean. It’s one of my favorite pots, and I use it a lot when I make my jams and jellies. Anyway, I went online and found step by step instructions on how to clean it, and I was amazed that it cleaned so easily. I have saved the instructions, because I just know I will do it again.

2. March Madness, aka the men’s Division I basketball championship, is nearing an end. What sort of ‘madness’ has your house seen this month?

I’ve been so ill that everything has sort of fallen apart. I have fed husband and dogs, and done a little laundry, but I have done far more sleeping.

3. What’s your favorite shop for browsing?

I love Coldwater Creek. But I also love Macy’s. And now I’m going to be a Grammie, Carters!

4. Is there ever a time when giving up makes sense?

No. I can speak from experience. You never know what’s around the corner!

5. What’s a song you love that contains the name of a city, state or country in its title?

“God Bless The USA” by Lee Greenwood.

6. When did you first begin using a computer?

When we first moved down to Florida, back in 1993-94. Hubby would go off to work, and I was alone. Hubby’s college room mate would email me, and he would ask questions that required a response. Before I knew it, I was writing to a dachshund club, then making banners. Well, let’s put it this way, I was hooked!

7. Did you buy girl scout cookies this year? What’s your favorite?

No I did not. Why? Well, because I love them! People say I should freeze them. Well, I love thin mints frozen. And a serving size? One sleeve on thin mints is a serving size!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Okay. What happened to spring? Last week we had the most beautiful, warm, weather. The dogs, Hubby and I were enjoying the heat, I’d even started to think changing my closet around to some summer clothes. Now, overnight, we have freezing temperatures! All I can say is, C’mon, Mother Nature! I want springtime!!!
