AuburnChick's Adventures

Lordy, Lordy, Joyce’s Hodgepodge is turning 40!

Forgive my ridiculous sense of humor.  I am a teacher preparing to go back to school, hence I am exhausted and prone to corny jokes.

Play along by posting your answers on your own blog and linking back up on Joyce’s.  Then, visit other people to see how they answered.

1.  Using what’s in your fridge right now, what sort of mean would you be able to make for guests who are knocking at the front door this very minute?

My guests would be treated to Jalapeno Peanut Butter Sandwiches with green onions as a veggie and peanut butter slathered apple slices for dessert.

Martha Stewart, eat your heart out!

BTW, have I mentioned that I am a teacher about to go back to school?  I haven’t been to the grocery store in two weeks.

2.  What is something about yourself that you hope to change but probably never will?

I would really like to be less socially awkward, but I don’t think I ever will be.  I think I will always possess a little less self confidence than I should, and that results in social awkwardness for me.

3.  What’s something about yourself that you hope will never change?

I hope I always stay as sweet and endearing as I am.

<insert sarcasm>

Seriously, though, I hope I never lose the way I choose to trust God through all of the circumstances in my life.  I’ve been through good and bad times, but knowing that God has a plan is what’s gotten me through all of those things.

4.  Do you usually send serious or funny greeting cards?  Why?

Hmmm…I think I lean toward funny cards.  I like to make people laugh, and sometimes they are just plain safer than expressing deep, sentimental feelings.

5.  Bird watching, shell gathering, or star gazing…your choice for whiling away the hours?

Joyce, you didn’t include knitting.  Good grief.  😀

Hmmm…I live near the beach, but I haven’t gone shell gathering in years.  There’s nothing quite like wading through water hunting for shells on the shore.  On the other hand, I love astronomy.  Looking at the stars makes me think about how amazing God is.  But, staring at the stars is usually done at night, and I’d likely fall asleep, which really wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Sheesh.  I am over-thinking this, aren’t I?

Ok…I’ll go for shell gathering.

6.  Do you double or trip check things?  If so, what?

I’m not a big double-checker; however, I will say that when I write things, such as my blog, I double and triple check it for grammar mistakes.

7.  What’s your favorite place for people watching?

I think that Starbucks is an interesting place to people watch.  People go there for a variety of reasons, whether it’s to study, read a book, or cry on a friend’s shoulder.  It’s fun to create a story in your head about what they are doing…where they work…if the girl’s boyfriend cheated on her and she needs her friend and a Coconut Mocha Frappucino to help pick up the pieces (ok…so the cheating part isn’t fun, but you know what I mean).

8.  My Random Thought

The reality of my second, and youngest, child being a Senior this year in high school is starting to set in.  I don’t see him as much as he’s busy with friends.  Thus, I’m taking advantage of every opportunity to sit with him and talk.  Yeah, yeah, I know.  We’re kind of supposed to do this as parents, but these times grow even more precious as we realize that it won’t be long before they leave the nest.  It’s bittersweet.
