Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What’s left to be done on your Christmas to-do list?

Wrap. I also want to see if Hubby can get down our mini tree to have out. We have no decorations up and I miss them.

2. The Hodgepodge lands on the first day of winter this year. What’s your favorite thing about winter?

Watching it snow. Not ice, but snow. Slow, big flakes and a fluffy white sky.

3. In what area of your life are you immature? Feel free to elaborate or not.

I do not handle being sick well. I sort of want to be babied. But let’s face it. At 58, I’m no baby, so I need to stop whining, and grow up!

4. What was the most (or one of the most) important lessons you learned in 2016?

To be humble. After my second spine surgery failed, and I had a medication problem, and all, well, I really lost it. I had to humbly take my lumps. Now, I have an appointment with a new doctor, and I am back in control. But this year? Yes. Being Humble.

5. It’s Fried Shrimp Day…are you a fan? What’s your favorite way to eat shrimp? Will there be shrimp somewhere in your holiday feastings?

I love shrimp. And yes, I plan to serve a shrimp cocktail ring the day after when my family come to visit.

6. What sound lulls you to sleep?

The TV. A dackel snoring, or the sound of an air conditioner.

7. What one word best describes your 2016?

Now that is tough. First one is JOYOUS! As our little Quinn arrived. But also, Disaster, as my spinal surgery failed. But let’s just stay with JOYOUS, as Quinn is so awesome!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Christmas is nearly here and I feel blessed. I have a wonderful family, and dear friends. Despite the challenges in life, I know I have the love and support of these people. That fills me with hope!
