Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. American Idol is back for a 14th season. Are you watching? Have you ever watched? If you were to audition for the show (or were made to audition), what song would you sing?

I’ve never watched, and I won’t be. However, I’d sing, “Only Yesterday” by the Carpenters. It’s tremendously sad, that Karen Carpenter, never saw her own worth and beauty. Her voice was totally like no other.

2. Mark Twain is quoted as saying, “If it’s your job to eat a frog, it’s best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it’s your job to eat two frogs, it’s best to eat the biggest one first.”

So when did you last have to ‘eat a frog’? Or two? How’d that work out?

Years ago, I had frogs legs. Didn’t really care for them, which is probably why I haven’t had them since.

3. If you were going on safari, what is the number one animal you’d want to see?

Elephants. I love elephants. They are my favorite at the Zoo. There is something so sweet and lovable about them.

4. January 21st is National Granola Bar Day. I know. Do you like granola bars? Chewy or crunchy? Your favorite flavor? How about regular granola? Let’s exhaust this topic in honor of the holiday okay?

Like granola. Not so much the bars as the real thing. I like Nature Valley High Protein Granola!

5. If only:

Chocolate wasn’t fattening! LOL!

6. You can add one item to your bedroom. What will it be? Keep it family friendly please.

A new mattress and box spring. I think it’s time, but I keep putting it off because of expenditures like, a new gas stove, new dishwasher, new fridge! But sometime soon, it will be time!

7. What is one thing you’ve enjoyed about winter thus far? If it’s not winter in your corner of the globe, what season is it, and what is something you’ve enjoyed about whatever season it happens to be?

I love the first snow fall. You know, the one where you go out and stand in the silence as the snow falls around you. Now the snow, ice and slush, is just a pain. I’m ready for spring! But that first snow fall, is truly magical!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

I was going to go in to my doctor’s today, but as I have come down with the flu, I was going to call and reschedule. Then I got a phone call from his office, rescheduling me as my doctor has the flu. Apparently the flu shot did not work this year as they did not know the flu germs were mutating. Hubby is terribly sick with the flu and all he does is sleep, cough and repeat!
