The world is abuzz with talk of the Olympics, so it seems quite natural that this week’s Hodgepodge questions would also include this theme. Though it’s late in the day when I’m posting my own answers, you can still play along and link up with Joyce.
1. The summer Olympics begin next week and London is playing host. If you had the chance to go in person what (non-Olympic) London site would you most like to visit?
I think I’d like to visit the Tower of London. I’ve read a lot of historical novels, and I’d like to see where so many famous people in England’s history were imprisoned.
2. What is something in your life right now that feels like an Olympic event?
Well, if you’ve been reading my blog for the past few days, you know that I’m recovering from pneumonia. The worse thing about this sickness is the fatigue. I’ve gotta tell you that I am a person who is ALWAYS on the go. In fact, I’m usually running in three different directions, so my doctor’s mandate of rest has been very difficult. With that said, I’ve found myself with no other option because I just cannot hold up for long stretches. So, right now my Olympic event is getting better…sleeping as much as I can and letting others take care of the day-to-day stuff.
3. What’s your favorite supper to prepare and serve when it’s too hot to cook?
Ha, ha, ha! It doesn’t matter if it’s too hot or too cold. I rarely cook. My favorite supper to prepare is whatever I can either pick up from a local restaurant or go out to eat there.
4. July 18th is National Get Out of the Doghouse Day…when was the last time you were ‘in the doghouse?’
I’m a married woman. I usually stay in the doghouse. It’s usually for not eating enough or adding a new pair of shoes to my collection.
5. What television commercial do you find particularly irritating or inappropriate? You may not answer with ‘all of them’. I know some of you were thinking about it.
There is a used car lot about an hour away from here, and the commercials for this place are the most redneck-ish, dumb commercials ever. The most annoying part is when the owner repeats his business name about a hundred times. This is what he’s known for. It doesn’t matter if the commercials are on TV or on the radio…I’ll turn the channel. It’s so bad that I will NEVER buy a car from this person…EVER. That’s how much I loathe the commercials.
6. Share one interesting piece of news from the year you were born.
I had to do some research for this question! I found this site, and a few of things that stand out to me are that Monday Night Football began in 1970, four students were killed at Kent State, and 18 year olds were given the right to vote. Interesting stuff!
7. What’s the best part of your average day?
The best part of my average day is walking into my house after running a bunch of errands or working and being greeted by my dogs. They are so happy that I’m home, and they’re eager to love on me.
8. My Random Thought
Since getting sick, I’ve spent most of my time on the couch.
My dogs are tired of not getting loved on, so they’ve been coming to me.
Pele, in particular (the brown dog below) has been quite sneaky. I’ve found him on the couch two times…after I’ve woken up from naps.
He’s a big dude but so gentle and sweet.
