Wednesday Hodgepodge

Obviously I missed last week's Hodgepodge.  You can say I was actually having a life.  Ha.
Anyway . . .




1. Would you rather talk to everyone at a crowded party for a short time or have a significant conversation with two people?

Oh definitely a significant conversation with 2 people.  I would have to say I'm not a fan of HUGE parties per sey.  I prefer intimate dinner gatherings where you can actually have a conversation in which you can get to know people. 

2. What objects do you remember from your parent's living room?

The twin gold velour chairs.  Well that is until they were recovered in a red/gold damask ish.  Wait.  Now I can't remember if they were gold first or a green paisley?  Hmm.  Who can forget (siblings of mine) the over sized painting of the Mexican "gentleman" with the beautiful senorita?  We say he was looking down her dress but Mom says he was looking into her eyes.  Hmm

3. Do you hog the bed? Steal the covers? Snore?

Of course not! None of the above. I'm quite the courteous person to sleep with.  I keep to my own space when needed, use my own covers if I have to and don't make any unwarranted noises.  TMI much?  Ha.

4. Speaking of Easter dinner....what is your favorite way to cook/eat lamb? Or does just the thought of that make you squeamish? If you're not cooking lamb what will be your entree du jour on Easter Sunday?

Were we speaking of Easter dinner?  I missed that.  Anyway, I do not care for lamb.  We usually have ham because we typically do brunch with the whole fam damily.

5. Let's throw some politics into this week's mix-oooohhh...Do you know the whereabouts of your birth certificate and when was the last time you had to produce it to prove you're you?

Yes, yes I do know where it is.  I believe the last time I needed it was when we were applying for passports and that was about 5 or 6 years ago. 

6. As a child, how did people describe you?

I've heard tell that apparently I had a temper back in the day.  I simply can't believe it.  I think it was simply my basic survival technique.  I have seen video of Debbie attacking me with her bottle.  Wait, I think it was MY bottle!  There is no sign whatsoever of this temper now so I'm sure it was a defense mechanism. 

7. What do you complain about the most?

I'm not a big complainer but if I had to choose I'd have to say the weather or taxes but that's more of a vent than complaint.  

8. Insert your own random thought here.

It's taking me some time to kick back into the same old routine this week.  After unpacking I realized I can't put some clothes away because I haven't made the winter into spring closet switch yet so the said clothes from the suitcase do not have a home until I do said switch.  However the weather is not such that the switch makes sense right now.  Bother.  So said spring/summer clothes will sit where they are for the time being.

Mocking me.  {insert aforementioned weather complaining here}

I'm just sayin'

I am back in a winter sweater today...it's gray and chilly so yuk. I neglected to mention the weather in my answer to #7 but I think possibly I should have : )

After reading a lot of answers I think a lot of bloggers are shy- do we need a support group? Oh wait, that's why we blog!

We had twin gold velour chairs too! They also have been recovered and still reside in my parents' living room. Have a great Wednesday.

Just to refresh the memory-ies, the mentioned chairs started out red-gold and recovered to greenish something.Had to go with the gold to then avacado carpet. Did you forget the gold lamps already??

That spanish portrait was beautiful. It had the wall of honor if you recall. I loved that he was adoringly looking at her FACE since her eyes were not in the right position for his gazing.HMPH

Ummmmmm.. ..."Anonymous"....adoringly looking at her FACE? I think NOT. That Dude in the picture was SO TOTALLY looking AT her chest area. I think I will make it my purpose this week to locate a photo proving this point. Ha!
