WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE

1. Chinese New Year will be celebrated on February 10th, and 2013 is the year of the snake. When did you last see a snake? Are you okay around snakes or do they give you the shivers?

It's been well over a year since I have seen one. I am not okay with snakes at all but especially because of Skye in the yard. I buy Liquid Fence each year in the Spring and we do our perimeter with it.  

 

2. The color red in Chinese culture usually means good luck. Do you believe in luck?

Well I often will say "Good Luck" to someone but I can't really say I believe in good luck. I do believe in Godincidences and our destiny through Him.  

 

3. Sledding-ice skating-building a snowman...if given a choice, which activity would you choose? Which of the three have you done most recently?

I would choose building a snowman. Honestly I haven't done any of them in at least 25 years since we moved to Southern California however we have been in the snow when our children were younger because we are only about 40 minutes from snow topped mountains in the Winter.  I just didn't participate in the sledding with them.

 

4. Ralph Waldo Emerson is credited as saying, "The years teach much which the days never knew." Where have you seen this quote played out in your own life?

I would say with aging this becomes true because of the time that has passed. Often you don't see the bigger picture on a daily basis compared to years of experience. Being with a friend yesterday who has young children it is definitely a fact that when we raise our children and through the busyness of life we don't realize how fleeting those days are.  

 

5. When was the last time you ate a cupcake?

More than a year ago!

 

6. What's something you can't say no to?

Cheesecake and pizza but I am sure you already knew this about me! 

 

7. Are you a doodler?

Not much anymore since I'm on the computer most of the time but I use to be with pencil and paper.  If your talking about other things like a project or housework than it's a big YES!

8. Insert your own random thought here.
Amber and I had the pleasure of seeing these cutie pies yesterday. They belong to a dear friend of ours that Amber and I both worked with at Hallmark. Since Amber started working full time, my traveling and just finding a day that worked for all of us it has been over a year since we saw them. It was fun day and had a great meal at Chili's too.  We also had some Christmas gifts for them and that is Amber with the boys holding up the indoor snowballs that we bought them for Christmas. So we had a snowball fight in the house!
