it's wednesday so that means a hodgepodge...

today is wednesday and i am linking up with joyce at this side of the pond...



1. What would you do if you found a pot of gold? Let's pretend this pot of gold is worth exactly $1500 (which would actually be more like a cup of gold at current values). Anyway, let's also pretend you have to spend it as opposed to making a donation someplace. Now tell me what you would do with that cup pot of gold?
as we are helping bluedotteen get ready for the prom, as in helping him rent a limo, get a tux, corsage, and make dinner reservations, it looks like that would go right to bluedotteen...seriously, the boy needs a job to help out with all of his needs!


2. Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day in any way, shape, or form?
i will wear green, but that is the extent of my celebrating...sad i know!
3. Have you been bitten by the Spring Cleaning bug? What spring cleaning job most needs doing at your house? What spring cleaning job are you most dreading?
i have been bitten...two weekends ago i cleaned everything and cleaned out my closet...but our coat closet, bathroom closets and cabinets all need to be cleaned and organized.  i really, really, really need to purge our plastic ware as we have lots of bowls with out lids to match and vice versa!  if anyone would like to volunteer to do any of these chores i would be happy to oblige!
4. lime-shamrock-sage-forest...your favorite shade of green?
you know i really like all shades of green!  can't choose one that is my favorite.
5. Thomas Jefferson once said, "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." So...do you believe in luck or do you believe we make our own luck?
ooohhh...i honestly think we make our own luck...i think it is how we view life and how react to life.  i choose to see the glass half full and be happy!
6. Monday (3/14) was Pi Day. Get it? Pi =3.14. Those math types are so clever aren't they? Since I'm not one of them tell me what's your favorite piE (the edible kind).
lemon ice box without a doubt!

7. That same date (3/14) happens to be the birthdate of the late physicist Albert Einstein. I bet he knew the value of Pi. So...what do you think is more important and or valuable in life... intelligence or common sense?
common sense....i have known brainiacs that had no common sense, example: you tell them to take the clothes out of the dryer and fold them.  common sense tells you that only if they are dry would you take them out, if they are still wet you would turn them back on so they could completly dry.

example #2:  i am a bookkeeper and love numbers, money, spreadsheets etc.  while i understand that not everyone has my love for such, everyone has to be able to handle a checking account.  well you put money into the bank and you have checks...just because you have checks does not mean you have money in the bank.  YES, i have had someone tell me the reason that they wrote me a bad check was the banks fault because they had checks and the bank had made a mistake, because they wouldn't still have checks if they didn't have any money!

8. Insert your own random thought here.
i have a friend who is waiting on a liver transplant...she is very ill and playing a waiting game.  it is an emotional rollercoaster for her and her family...i ask that all of my blog readers to please pray for mary as she waits.  please pray for her family as they watch her be so sick...please pray for the donors family as they must go through such a loss for others to have a chance at life.

blessings all,
