And now, on to fun with the Hodgepodge!
1. This coming weekend is Palm Sunday, which marks the beginning of Holy Week. Do you celebrate Easter in your home? What was your favorite Easter tradition as a child? I do not celebrate Easter anymore. Once the lovelies grew up I just sort of stopped. We used to do the whole Easter basket and new Easter clothes and church and big family dinner.
2. George Weinberg is quoted as saying, 'Hope never abandons you, you abandon it.' Agree or disagree? Share your own thoughts on the word hope. I don't think hope can abandon anyone since it's a thing that you either have or you don't. It's just out there. It doesn't come and go except in our own minds. I rarely, if ever, abandon hope because, if I did, there would be nothing left in some instances. So, if nothing else, I do tend to hold on to hope.
3. Weigh in with a yay or nay on the traditional Easter candies. A solid milk chocolate bunny? Cadbury Creme Eggs? Peeps? Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs? Jellybeans? Coconut Cream Eggs? Of the candies listed, which one would you most like to find in your Easter basket? Yes, please. There is very little sugary goodness this sugarholic won't eat. Except those nasty Peeps. Of the deliciousness listed, I'm going to go with the Cadbury Creme Eggs. Even though I tried one last year and they aren't nearly as good to me as they used to be.
4. When did you last feel 'like a kid in a candy store'? I haven't felt that way in a long time. It seems like I was somewhere a while back and felt that way but I cannot, for the life of me, remember where that was.
5. What's something you know you do differently than most people? Does that bother you? Does it bother other people? I'm not sure about this one.
6. Palm Springs CA, Palm Beach FL, or the PALMetto State...of the three mentioned, which sunny spot would you most like to visit right now? Which have you visited at one time or another? I live in the palmetto state and have no desire to go to either of the other places. I've been to CA and FL but not to the specific places mentioned. I'll just stay here. Unless someone wants to send to Finland to sleep under the northern lights in one of these:
7. If you could change the length of a day would you lengthen it or shorten it? Tell us why. What do you mean? Increase from 24 hours to longer? Or daytime instead of nighttime? I love nighttime over daytime because of the moon and the stars. But I think 24 hours is long enough.
8. Insert your own random thought here. I have entered my sweet pup in a contest and I am NOT ashamed to ask y'all to go over there and vote for him! And feel free to share on your Facebook pages and everywhere else! Thanks! (Just click the picture to go to the voting page)
Have a great rest of the week, y'all!
Is there a link to the contest? I will go vote, but am not seeing where to do that? It might just be me, but point me in the right direction : ) I know my teacher daughter is looking forward to a few days holiday as well. Winter just won't quit here, and I do like winter. Hubs has been to Finland. I'd like to go and see the Northern Lights.
ReplyDeleteJust click on the picture. That should take you to it. Thanks! I am so tired I may cry when break finally gets here. I imagine that the northern lights are spectacular. I would go in a heartbeat!
DeleteYour pup is by far the cutest, and I'll do my best to see that he wins! Keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your Hodgepodge! I had a hard time with #5 - unless it is pointed out to me, how do I know? LOL
In our family, we pretty much do things the same way. Except for one daughter. So, she's the one who does things differently. Not me. LOL Thanks for helping Tucker by voting!
DeleteI've always enjoyed Peeps but don't buy them anymore. That sleeping under the Northern Lights looks like it would be fun! So where do we go to vote!
ReplyDeleteJust click on the picture to vote for Tucker! Thanks! I would love to go to Finland and try that out!
DeleteAh, yes...would love to see the Northern Lights, too! I can't blame you...whenever I visit SC, I don't want to leave, either.
ReplyDeleteDon't you think they'd be spectacular?! I think I'd feel that way about wherever I lived. I'm just a homebody.
DeleteI share your love of Cadbury and our dogs look much a like! CUTE! Happy Hodgepodge!!
ReplyDeleteThey are good, that's for sure. I do love my pup! Thanks!
DeleteI love Cadbury caramel eggs they are my favourite, although I am not a big Easter person, when the girls were little we would have Easter hunts when I would hide their eggs around the house
ReplyDeleteEaster was big in my family when I was growing up and here when the girls were growing up. But not so much now. I've gone from going to church every Sunday and Wednesday for 30+ years to being an out-n-out heathen. Go figure.
