it's wednesday, so why not? let's have a hodgepodge...

i am linking up today with joyce over at from this side of the pond




1. What is a pet peeve you have when vacationing?
being rushed...i want to stay out on the beach all day, as in until the sun sets.  i don't want to have to rush in and get ready to rush here or there...i want to relax and enjoy my surroundings every second!


2. Would you describe yourself as a light packer or do you need everything in your closet plus the kitchen sink?
me, a light packer? ha!  i need my full closet, because you have to be prepared for any event...i always pack too much and then as i am packing to come home tell myself you are not packing this much stuff ever again for vacation.  but alas, the same thing happens the next time we go on vacation.


3. What's the best lesson a child ever taught you?
my children have taught me so many lessons...you think before you have children that you know everything, but realize very quickly once that baby is born that you know nothing!  i think the most important lesson i have learned from my children is unconditional love.


4. Share one piece of advice you'd give a recent graduate as they attempt to enter the job market?
be patient through the process of resumes and interviews.  if you are offered money to work a job take it.  it is much easier to find a job when you are employed.


5. What's your favorite lemon something?
lemon in my tea...being a good southern girl means drinking iced tea and good iced tea always has lemon in it!


6. Flat sandal, wedge, heel...your favorite footwear?
flip flops...they are not great support shoes, but i love flip flops!  i think they should be a year round shoe source!


7. What do you like best about a beach holiday? If you're not a beach lover (GASP!!) what do you dislike the least?
a trashy magazine or book, an adult beverage, toes in the sand and feeling the breeze on my skin.  ahhhh, i need a beach vacation so bad!


8. Insert your own random thought here. 
something that i often had told my husband, thanks to @uberfacts i now know is true:
Approximately 80% of a child's intelligence is acquired from the mother.


y'all have a great wednesday,
