Happy Wednesday! Today I’m joining in for the Wednesday Hodgepodge with Joyce.
1. I write the Hodgepodge questions so they’ll post on Sunday, which sometimes throws me off in terms of what day it is. St. Patrick’s Day will be celebrated on Monday, March 17th. Did you mark the day in some way? Wear green? Make a special meal? Watch or participate in a parade?
St. Patrick’s Day is not a holiday I celebrate and to be honest, it confuses me that it’s so widely celebrated! Funnily enough, I did wear a green shirt on Monday, but I didn’t do it on purpose.
2. Do you think luck plays a part in your life? Explain.
I don’t consider myself lucky.
3. Of the 15 green foods listed, which one is your favorite and how do you like it prepared? Any on the list that are a hard no for you? In general do you like fruits and veggies? As a kid did you eat them willingly or did you hide peas in your napkin hoping your momma wouldn’t see?
Asparagus, avocado, broccoli, celery, cucumber, grape, green bean, kale, kiwi, lettuce, lime, pear, peas, pistachios, spinach
I love avocado. I will eat any of the foods on the list! I like most fruits and veggies. As a kid, I know my brother always had a huge fight about eating cooked vegetables, but I don’t think it was a big deal for me!
4. What’s something that makes you ‘turn green’? (with envy or with illness… whichever way you want to run with it)
I find myself envious of other people’s lives sometimes…like my husband, who can jet off on a work trip without worrying about logistics at home…and my daughter, who is in the best time of her life at college! I’m also envious when I see people have gotten really cool PR boxes with their books, which I know I shouldn’t be!
5. Did you spend a lot of time outdoors as a child? Doing what? Do you spend a lot of time outdoors now? Doing what?
I do remember playing outside as a kid. We had a swing set, we ran around with the neighborhood kids, and we rode bikes a lot. Now, I take walks when it’s nice out or when I have a dog staying with us (although we did not walk the dogs we had visiting when it was cold and snowy out!).
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I don’t feel like I need to let go of anything this week – but physically, Zachary went through his closet and threw out two garbage bags of old shoes! I’m so thankful that he is taking initiative on cleaning out his room!
Tell me your answer to any of these!
