1. When did you last have cancelled plans? Were you happy about that or disappointed? 

Well we actually had plans to pick up James from daycare last week Tuesday and Adam and Gabby's plans were cancelled. 

When I heard that, of course I was disappointed. However, they invited us over anyway to spend the evening with all of them. So it wasn't exactly cancelled plans but it's the last thing I remember. 

2. On a scale of 1-10 how much of a planner are you? 

I'll go with a 5 but I'm not very good at following through on anything. 

1= I go where the wind takes me  

10=I've got a power point on it, no matter what it is

3. Do you have a menu plan for the week? If so tell us one or two things that are on it. If not, what's your plan for not having a plan lol? 

No we never have a menu plan unless we are having company. We talk about it the night before so I can take some meat out of the freezer if needed. Pizza is often a plan when we have no plan at all. 

4. The Hodgepodge lands on National Bucket List Day. Do you have a bucket list? Is it written down or just in your head? What is one thing on your bucket list? If you don't have a list, what is one thing you'd add to a list if you did? Yes I'm going to make you think about it. 

No I don't have a bucket list. I started a list once but never followed through. As always, it is the same old thing you have heard me say for years, declutter the house! 

5. Rain buckets, a drop in the bucket, couldn't carry a tune in a bucket, sweat buckets, cry buckets...which 'bucket' idiom applies to your life in some way currently? 

I'm not sure how to answer this one. I am dealing with several issues right not that need to be dealt with but can't be dealt with until other things fall into place. Maybe cry buckets because it's so frustrating.

1. What's a skill you think everyone should have? 

The first thing that came to mind was doing CPR. 

2. Do you have a special place or organizational system for gift wrapping? Do you still buy 'real' cards to send for birthdays, anniversaries, get-well, etc? 

I just use the center island in the kitchen to wrap presents. Most of my wrapping is done at Christmas. Yes, I buy cards from Hallmark all the time. I am a diehard card sender for all of those your mentioned and more!

3. It's National Banana Day...are you a fan? What's your favorite thing to make with bananas or, if you're not a cook, your favorite thing to eat that contains banana? 

Yes, I eat one almost every day. I don't have an answer for the other questions. 

4. Do you believe in second chances? Elaborate. 

I do believe in second chances. I think that sometimes people make mistakes and should be given a second chance. I'm not saying everyone. I did however give Mark a second chance. 

5. What is your idea of fun? 

This is a hard one to answer. Of course I love seeing James, which we did last night. Being with family is the best! Missing Amber and Dylan so much. 

I like going to a casino but haven't been in awhile. Going out to eat can be fun although we don't go as often as we used to before the pandemic. We still haven't been back to a movie theater. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We are home from Montana. Returned home on Saturday late afternoon. I will get around to writing a post at some point. It's a long drive and I'm still tired. However, it was so wonderful seeing Amber and Dylan along with their dog Finley. 

Because of Mark's accident last year we didn't get to go last year although they were here in October for James' birthday. It was a very hard time for me to leave them. We will go again this summer but I have to say it really sucks being so far away.
