It’s time for Joyce’s Wednesday Hodgepodge! I really like the questions this week. They’re not too deep but a lot of fun!
You know the drill…post the answers on your own blog, link up on Joyce‘s, and make new bloggy friends by perusing the links on her post.
Here we go…
1. What is something that bothers you if it’s not done perfectly?
French manicures, plain and simple. I am very particular about nail work, and I’m telling you, there is a fine art to doing a good French manicure. You can’t do the white part too thick, and the line across HAS to be straight.
Yes, I am a wee bit anal.
2. Do you think a sixth sense exists? Explain.
I do believe in some sort of sixth sense, like when you “know” that something is about to happen. It’s that sense of deja vu. I attribute it to God’s Holy Spirit impressing Himself on our hearts with warnings or whatnot.
3. Do you say your goodbyes slowly, quickly, or not at all?
It depends on who I’m saying goodbye to. With Chicky, the process is long and drawn out. Other situations are quick…such as when I’m saying goodbye at a work place. In such situations, I am usually ready to cut my ties. That’s not to say that I’m rude…I’m just ready to move on.
4. On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being hot, hot, hot, what level of spice do you like in your food? What’s your favorite spicy dish?
I like my food to be hot, so I’ll go with a ten. My most recent favorite spicy dish is the Black Bean Soup that I make. The peppers give the soup a kick that is just right.
5. What is one of your all-time favorite commercial jingles?
Hmmm…a bit of a tough question. How about the Kit Kat commercial…”Give me a break, give me a break. I wanna break a piece of that Kit Kat bar.” It’s short and catchy.
6. Plane, train, boat, or auto…what is your preferred means of travel?
I don’t mind traveling by car…if I’m the passenger, but I’ve gotta say that after our flights to and from Seattle (en route to our Alaskan cruise), I’d have to give travel by plane two thumbs up.
7. What is something you take for granted?
I think I take my sight for granted. This hits close to home right now…especially after a blind student walked into my classroom on Monday. As I have sat, coming up with adjustments in my lesson plans, I am coming to realize that I live in a world that is geared for people who have their full eyesight available to them. I cannot imagine going through life being unable to watch the beautiful petals of a sunflower as they open up or monitor the progress of the sun as it sets over the beach. Even the fact that I can pick up and read a book, magazine, or some other printed item strikes me these days. This is something that has humbled me.
8. My Random Thought
I am going to share my Facebook status from yesterday afternoon:
“I must be having a good hair day. Some guy in a truck rolled down his window and blew me a kiss.”
I am not kidding.
Apparently my straightener and self-applied blonde coloring from a tube had worked their magic, transforming me into a Jennifer Anniston wannabe (I wish).
Either that or the guy needs glasses.
For the record, I did not blow a kiss back. Although I was wearing my sassy shoes, I wasn’t feeling THAT sassy. 😀

AuburnChick's Adventures 
Hilarious! Was the guy at all creepy? And you’re so right about the world being geared for the sighted. Even the expresions we use” I see what you’re saying,” “Do you see what I’m getting at?” “I see what you mean” and so on. I read a FannyCrosby bio once. She wa blinded by a chemical splash accident as a baby. She wrote that she did not to see until she opened her eyes and saw the face of Jesus. That always makes me think…
Hi! Oh my goodness, LOVE your FB post – you know, it’s the little things! 🙂
Love that facebook post. I cannot imagine losing my sight. Have you ever heard/done any of Jennifer Rothschild’s bible studies? She is blind and has an attitude that humbles me.
I have never been on a big passenger plane but I am sure I would give it a two thumbs up as well.
I have been on a small plane and loved it!
I suspect being blind would be a dreadful thing.
When I had chickenpox, for the second time, I temporarily lost my eye sight and began screaming. I could not see a thing. It only lasted about 20 seconds but that was too long.
I also cannot imagine losing my sight. There are so many beautiful things to look at. Including, my loved ones. To never see their smiling faces again would just be devastating. I enjoyed reading your answers 🙂
I love black bean soup…but really mild. I’m wimpy when it comes to spicy stuff.
When my twins were just babies–4 months old–and my oldest was not yet 2, I almost lost my eyesight. I remember coming home from the ophthalmologist and staring at my kids, trying to memorize every detail of their little faces. They were able to save my sight, but during the time when it was uncertain, I was terrified.
I once taught a blind student . It really stretched me as a teacher. Your student will help you along and you will become a much better teacher for having him/her. I LOVED your Facebook post. We should all be so lucky!
