Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. May 17th is National Pack Rat Day. Sidebar-should we be celebrating this? Hmmm…

No, no, no!

Are you a pack rat? Even if you’re not a full fledged pack rat, most people have one thing or another they struggle to part with. Tell us what’s yours.

Hubby is a pack rat. His motto is, “I might use this before I die!” I am more of a thrower. But gave up long ago.

2. What are two things you know you should know how to do, but you don’t?

Change a tire and bake a sponge cake.

3. Do you crave sugar? Do you add sugar to your coffee and/or tea? Do you use artificial sweeteners or sugar substitutes? When dining out is dessert a given? Are you someone who has slain the sugar dragon, and if so tell us how you did it.

I use Splenda. I try not to give in to sweets, but it is hard. I do have a sweet tooth. When I go out, usually I am too full for dessert.

4. What’s a trend it took a while for you to come round to, but now you can’t imagine living without?

Prescription sunglasses. I knew I needed them, as clip on and sunglasses that fit over my glasses were uncomfortable. Finally I splurged and when I got my last glasses I picked out a funky frame (deep purple!) and had them made into “el cheapo” sunglasses. I love them!!!

5. What’s a song that reminds you of a specific incident in your life? Please elaborate.

This song makes me think of my older brother and sister. My brother had many handicaps and challenges and he was born on the date mentioned. My sister was born next on the dates mentioned and the whole song just reminds me of his battles in life.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Today it is supposed to be like the middle of the summer. Our temperatures are due to soar into the upper 80’s and the sun will shine brightly! I am so ready for this!!!
