1. The Hodgepodge lands on Ash Wednesday, which is the first day of Lent. Do you mark this season in some way? Will you be giving something up or adding something to your life in this Lenten season?
Of course I do! I'll be going to Mass to receive my ashes. I'm over the age that the Church requires for fasting, but we're to do something extra on that day as a replacement. Last year, I gave up Amazon (and saved a lot of money), so I'm planning on doing that as well plus social media. I have a couple of different things I'm doing this Lent: a book study through the Abiding Together Podcast, journaling daily with Crux, and doing the Stations of the Cross at the outside Stations at my church on Fridays at 3:00. The parish does Stations but I find that I get more out of it if I do it by myself at the outside Stations.
2. Pancakes...are you a fan? Syrup or no syrup? Plain, blueberries, chocolate chips, bananas, or some other add in? Are pancakes on your menu this week?
I love pancakes with syrup! I'm good with just plain, but I'll usually spread some peanut butter and maybe some Nutella. Fat Tuesday=pancakes. I'm planning on making "Danish pancakes", which are crepes with bananas, peanut butter, and Nutella in the middle.
3. Tell us about a time recently when you felt 'spread too thin'.
Oh, gosh! I don't know that there's been a time recently. That's the nice thing about being retired...no pressure!
4. What's your favorite jewel or gemstone? In terms of your wardrobe would we find more gem tones, pastels, black and white, or primary colors?
I'm not much into jewelry, so I don't have a favorite jewel or gemstone. I think more neutral colors are in my closet.
5. What responsibility do you think is hardest about being in charge?
In charge of what? Right now, I'm finding it stinks to be responsible for my house. I've handed over the responsibility of my boys to them since they're grown men.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I think I have a problem:
