Hodgepodge Wednesday-7/11/12

 

1. How often do you check the weather? How do you check the weather?

 I used to check it all the time and now I seem to only check it if someone else comments about the weather.

2. Since this is Volume 84 of the Wednesday Hodgepodge, and since I got married in 1984, and since I'm attending a wedding this weekend, it only seems right to post something related here.

I also got married in 1984 but sadly we divorced 17 years later. I wish I would have been following God's plan for my life as a teenager and would have waited to marry the person God chose for me.

3. Do you like to dance? Have you ever taken dance lessons?

I have no rhythm whatsoever but I do love to dance. One of my best friends and I once took line dance classes. I just can't get it though. As a little girl I just loved to watch Shirley Temple movies and would go around tapping everywhere. 

4. Fresh from the oven peach pie or homemade peach ice cream. Pick one.

absolutely neither. I hate everything peach except the color. My girls love peach stuff but not me. I joke and tell people thats why I had to move from Georgia because they wouldn't let me live there since I hated peaches.

5. Should people accept unfairness and learn to make the best of it?

I think it depends on what the unfairness is. Somethings are always going to be unfair and we just have to deal with it but some issues have to change. Example being slavery. That had to go.

6. The top five all time summer blockbuster movies (released between May and August and grossing at least 100 million dollars) are Jaws, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars (the original), Ghostbusters, and E.T. Which one's your favorite?

I liked Star Wars and ET. ET was my favorite. At the time I liked Ghostbusters but I have reached a point that it just seems silly to me.  Hated Jaws because it scared me. No feelings whatsoever on Raiders of the Lost Ark but my oldest loves Harrison Ford so naturally have seen all the Indy series several times.

7. If given the chance, would you like to visit the moon?

I can't say that I have any desire to go to the moon. I am terrified of heights. But given my sci fi obsesssion I have had dreams of space exploration.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Feeling grateful for all God's blessings in my life today. Most especially electricity, running water, a/c and indomethacin.
