Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. Describe love using all five senses.
Sight:  My family.  Without question.
Scent:  This is where I think of my grandma's fresh baked rolls.
Taste:  Any hearty meal that soothes whatever we need.
Hearing: laughter.
Touch:  a nice hug.

2. February is Canned Food Month. What's your favorite food that comes straight from a can?
I don't buy a lot of canned foods, but I guess I'd say home-canned applesauce.  If it really must be from a can, as bad as I know they are for me, I'm gonna say canned tomatoes.  Whether they're for salsa, or pasta sauce, or pizza, or chili, or anything, they're incredibly convenient.

3. A principal in a UK school recently sent home a letter to parents requesting they(the parents!) dress appropriately when escorting their children to/from school (basically saying please don't wear your pajamas) You can read the letter here. It's gotten a lot of publicity, both positive and negative. Your thoughts? And do/did you ever make the school run (or hit Starbucks, Walmart, etc) in your pjs?

I seldom leave my room without having changed.  Even if it's into yoga pants, but that's mostly because I'm getting ready to go to yoga.  Honest, I'm not trying to embarrass my children.

4. Crew neck, V-neck, turtleneck, scoop neck...which is most prevalent in your wardrobe?

Probably crew neck or V-neck.  Turtlenecks are uncomfortable and scoop necks show more than I'm comfortable with.

5. I read here recently a list of four things to avoid so you wake up happier. They were late night snacks, hitting the snooze button, social media just before bed/upon waking, checking emails. 

Are you guilty of any of these behaviors? Which on that list do you need to work harder at avoiding?

I'm pretty bad about hitting the snooze button.  My husband sleeps closer to the alarm, and he likes his snooze button.  I personally just like being under some warm blankets.

6. Share something you remember about a house you lived in as a child? Of all the homes you lived in as a child, which did you love best?

I lived in the same house from the time I was seven months old up until I left for college.  I remember my sister's room and I were across the hall from each other, and we'd whisper to each other through the vents once in a while.

7.Your favorite movie based on a true story?

Men of Honor comes to mind.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

It's been quite a week here.  We got some doors replaced, as well as a large window at the front of our house.  Our living room smells like stain now, and it reminds me a little of my childhood.

In the middle of that project, the landscapers are here to deal with the fact that our backyard floods with every heavy rain.  I'm looking forward to everything being ready to go.
