Wednesday Hodgepodge

From this Side of the Pond

1. What's surprised you most about your life or life in general? 
I'm not sure anything surprises me anymore. To be sure, this isn't what I expected, but it is what it is.

2.  Sweet potato fries, sweet potato casserole, a baked sweet potato, a bowl of butternut squash soup, a caramel apple or a slice of pumpkin pie...you have to order one thing on this list right now. Which one do you go for?
A baked sweet potato, please.  I do love sweet potatoes.  (I love pumpkin pie, too, don't get me wrong...but...)

3. What's a famous book set in your home state? Have you read it? On a scale of 1-5 (5 is fantastic) how many stars does it rate?
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.  On the scale, I'd rate it a 4--it was a good book, but it didn't compel me to pick up any of the other books in the series.

4. There are 60 days until Christmas...have you started your shopping? How do you stay organized for the holidays?
HAHAHAHAHA!  Oh, you were serious.  Um, no, I haven't started shopping yet; and organization is a thing of the past.

5. October 26th is National Tennessee Day. Have you ever lived or spent any time in Tennessee? Is this a state you'd like to visit one day? The top rated tourist attractions in Tennessee are-

The Great Smoky Mountain National Park (Gatlinburg area), Elvis's Graceland (Memphis), Birth of the Music Biz (Memphis and Nashville), Dollywood (Pigeon Forge), Tennessee's Military Heritage (many battlefields), The Hermitage (Andrew Jackson's home), The Parthenon (Nashville), Oak Ridge American Museum of Science and Energy, Chattagnooa and the Tennessee Valley Railroad, Downtown Knoxville, Lookout Mountain, The Titanic Museum (Pigeon Forge), The Museum of Appalachia (Clinton), and The Lost Sea Adventure (Sweetwater)

How many on this list have you seen? Which one on the list would you most like to see?
I've never seen any of them, though I hear a great deal about the Great Smoky Mountain National Park...so I suppose I'll choose that one.

6.  Insert your own random thought here.
Fall is finally here, and I'm glad it is...but honestly, I wish it had arrived on a day when I could stay home and make chicken noodle soup for dinner instead of running everywhere...
