AuburnChick's Adventures

It’s time for the Wednesday Hodgepodge!  You can answer the questions too and then link back up on Joyce’s blog.  It’s a ton of fun, and you will make lots of new friends!

1.  What are your plans for Easter Day/weekend?

Chicky will be home for Easter!  I hope that we’ll get in some dancing, courtesy of Wii’s Just Dance game.  I’m anxious to show her that my certification classes haven’t taken the groove out of my hips (however, age just might have).  On Sunday, the family will attend church together and eat lunch before Chicky heads back to school in the BLUE car.

Yep.  I think it’s been decided that she’s getting the blue one.  We’ll see how she responds to the news.

2.  Besides Jesus, what one person from the Bible would you most like to meet and why?

A tiny part of me wants to say Eve, but only because I’d like to throttle her because she made the women after her have to endure painful childbirth.

Oh.  Wait.  I’ll bet throttling isn’t allowed in heaven.  Rats.

I think it would be interesting to meet Anna, the prophetess who saw Jesus while He was still a baby and recognized Him as the Messiah.  I would love to ask her how it felt to finally lay her eyes on the one she had longed to see all of her life and what the revelation of who He was felt like the moment she understood.

Oh…I can’t choose just one, Joyce!  How about Queen Esther?  She was incredibly brave and bold in declaring her faith to her husband, the king.  In the process, she saved the entire Jewish race!  What an amazing woman!  I can only hope to be that bold!

Ok…I’ll stop with those two.

3.  What is one modern day convenience you didn’t have as a child that was easy to live without?

How about an eReader.  I loved my books.  I still love “real” books, although I did recently discover that my phone has the Kindle app.  I just finished reading my first book on it…Frankenstein…and I loved the convenience of it.  Still, I don’t think I missed anything by not having it as a child.

4.  Are you more right-brained or left-brained?  If you don’t know what that means, there is an interesting little quiz here.

I can’t say that I agree with the final assessment.  I’m brain dead.  That’s all I know right now.  Oh, that and the fact that I would never, ever, under any circumstance want to become a mathematician.  Ever.

You are more left-brained than right-brained. Your left brain controls the right side of your body. In addition to being known as left-brained, you are also known as a critical thinker who uses logic and sense to collect information. You are able to retain this information through the use of numbers, words, and symbols. You usually only see parts of the “whole” picture, but this is what guides you step-by-step in a logical manner to your conclusion. Concise words, numerical and written formulas and technological systems are often forms of expression for you. Some occupations usually held by a left-brained person include a lab scientist, banker, judge, lawyer, mathematician, librarian, and skating judge.

5.  What is something you intended to do today but didn’t?  Why?

I’ll talk about yesterday…

I intended to call parents and schedule conferences.  The reason why I didn’t was because I had a bad end to the day, called one parent, talked for over thirty minutes, and called it a day.  I couldn’t handle any more phone calls.

6.  Cadbury Creme Eggs or Reeses peanut butter?

Reeses.  Hands down.  Except that I’m not eating sweets right now.  But still…if I had a choice…

7.  Who was your favorite cartoon character when you were a child?

I can’t really remember that far back!!  Oh wait…Saturday mornings…it’s coming back…

I loved me some Scooby Doo!!  Sing along (cause you’ve gotta admit that you know the words)…

8.  My Random Thought

Last weekend, a few young people I know went to a Non-Lady Gag Gag concert held a few hours away.  They posted pictures on Facebook, and I’ve gotta say that I was shocked.

Now, you know that I ranted about her in this post, but the pictures reminded me of the disgust I feel every time I hear this person’s name.

I really wonder what in the world people find so appealing about her.

Is it the way she dresses, cause if it is, she’s not wearing enough to make that much of an impression.

Some say they like her music, but how can you listen to her music without mentally seeing pictures of her.

Unfortunately, my uber-conservative opinion seems to be in the minority as even parents have made me feel like I’m making a big deal out of this.

But seriously.

One of the kids who attended the concert told me that there were mostly young girls in the audience.

Really?

What kind of example is she setting for the up-and-coming young women of this world?  Oh please, go out and wear your underwear while on a stage somewhere.  If you’re lucky and can halfway carry a tune (I have no idea if Ms. GG can because I don’t listen to her music), then maybe you’ll even get paid a lot of money.

I’m sorry, but this really irks me.  It’s yet another sign of what low standards we have in society.  There once was a day when people were shocked if a lady showed her ankles.  Now it’s ok to show…well…a little bit of everything!

Sigh.

What do you think?
