Hidy Ho Neighbors (invoking Tim the Toolman’s neighbor, Wilson, today…and yes, I’ve completely lost my marbles).
It’s time for the Wednesday Hodgepodge!!
If you want to play along (and you know you do), hop on over to Joyce‘s blog and link up!
Now, on to the questions!
1. Would you rather talk to everyone at a crowded party for a short time or have a significant conversation with two people?
I am shy. I don’t mingle well, and crowds make me feel very anxious. Thus, I would rather talk to a couple of people for a longer amount of time. Besides that, I like getting to know people, and I can’t really do that if I don’t talk to them at length. Oh, and I forgot that I’m also long-winded, so long conversations are a must for me.
2. What objects do you remember from your parent’s living room?
We had a TV in a cabinet. The TV was built by my stepfather. I watched him spend several years soldering the wiring together. We also had a round glass table-topped table in the center of the room. I hated cleaning that thing because, no matter how hard you tried, you could never set the top down without smudging fingerprints on it. We also had a straw loveseat type of thing in that room. It was a very informal living room.
3. Do you hog the bed? Steal the covers? Snore?
I don’t think I snore. At least, I’ve never heard myself, but don’t you have to be asleep to be snoring? Regarding the bed and covers…my dogs hog them.
4. Speaking of Easter dinner…what is your favorite way to cook/eat lamb? Or does just the thought of that make you squeamish? If you’re not cooking lamb, what will be your entree du jour on Easter Sunday?
I’ve never eaten lamb, nor do I want to. I don’t eat meat or any other animal product any more, so the desire just isn’t there. As far as Easter dinner…I can’t even figure out what I’m having from one meal to the next. There’s no way I have any kind of clue what I’m having Easter Sunday. Chicky’s trying to come home for Easter. Maybe we’ll go out? With my certification classes going, I have zero desire to cook.
5. Let’s throw some politics into this week’s mix-oooohhh…Do you know the whereabouts of your birth certificate and when was the last time you had to produce it to prove you’re you?
I know where all of my family’s birth certificates are because I am tres-anal. The last time I had to pull mine out was a year and a half ago when my family got passports to go on the cruise that Coupon Queen and Grand Pooba treated us to.
6. As a child, how did people describe you?
I was described as adorable (I really was…I should scan my picture some time just to prove it). I was also described as quiet and obedient.
7. What do you complain about the most?
Right now, I complain about my certification classes the most. I am exhausted because the work load is heavy…especially since I teach five grades of my own. I have no idea what I’m going to have to complain about when I finish with my last three classes in late June!
8. My Random Thought
Three bowls of Black Bean Soup (in one night) and teaching do not go together.
Use your imagination. 😉

Beans, beans the musical FRUIT the more you eat the more you….
Beans, beans they’re good for your HEART, the more you eat the more you….
Sorry…I couldn’t help myself. This little diddy was the first thing that came to mind after you shared your random thoughts. I allowed you to finish the rhyme though…
At least you’re on the home stretch! Think how great you’ll feel in June : )
I like going out for Easter lunch but my girls are home so seldom they like a home cooked traditional meal. That’s nice too.
I enjoyed your fun answers today, especially your random thought…one word pops into my mind…BEANO! LOL
LOL @ #8.
Summer is not too far away. woo hoo!!!
Enjoyed reading your answers!
#8…too funny 🙂
Hang in there!!!! ROFL–Beans!
Oh to have been the quiet one…my bus driver used to beg my mom to make me stop singing. I apparently sang all the way to and from school and it drove him nuts.
# 8 reminds me of the time my mother made chili and my father left a note in the fridge that said, “Eat at your own risk.” He was a teacher too.
I don’t do well in crowded situations, either. My husband and I are complete opposities…he thrives in that sort of environment. I prefer to have a couple of people I can have a conversation with, rather than having to “work the room”. If it helps any…our dog, Bella, hogs the covers, too!
I can totally hear Wilson saying that! So I guess I’ve lost my marbles too? No surprise, there. ha
Well I guess you were the perfect child. 🙂
Hey – thanks for stopping by my blog today! Gave me warm fuzzies! And your random thought made me laugh… oh dear! 🙂
LOL on #8!!!
Your random made me laugh out loud!!
Totally with you on #1 – having to keep conversations going with a multitude of people would stress me out. I admire you for cutting meat out of your diet – I’ve thought about it often but just haven’ taken the step yet.
I couldn’t find a way to email and I wanted to comment on your comment to my HP today. I totally agree with you and the professional dress. To tell you the truth I think a whole of clothes can take on a professional look with a little thought, but it’s seldom done today. My daughter and DIL would love it if they could wear jeans to work. They are both teachers and jeans are not allowed in our system.
Happy rest of the week!
Our Skye just won’t move at night so she does hog the covers. I believe most people snore! I would love to go out for Easter, I am so tired of cooking. It would be prime rib, no lamb and we are tired of ham. I love black beans!
