Calling on the Hodgepodge

Here we are back on Wednesday and I thought we were still having the weekend. Ha! Shows what I know. I guess it doesn't matter what you do or where you are time just flies but that doesn't mean I'll stop trying to find a way to slow it down. Meanwhile, let's enjoy the Hodgepodge because it's always just right!

1. They say you learn something new every day. What did you learn yesterday? Funny you should ask. I'm about to start a new weekly post about what I've learned each week. Yesterday? I learned I do have patience in some situations. I also learned yesterday when you do not read the label you might end up with gluten-free shortbread cookies and that is NOT a good thing meaning YUCK.

2. Have you ever had a now or never moment? I'm sure I have. Elaborate. I can't think of specifics but I do know I've said that and I know the situations have been such that I had to make myself do something I was either afraid to do or didn't want to do but knew I should or had to. Does that make sense? I don't think I ever chose the never part. 

3.  April 25th is National Telephone Day. Do you still have a landline or have you gone mobile only? I have it just in case but it is never used. As a matter of fact, there's no phone plugged into the phone jack. The 'house' phone is kept in a drawer because I only answer my cell and only then if I know the number calling unless I do not want to talk in which case I answer nothing. Ha! When you receive a text message do you respond immediately? Most of the time. Last time you turned your phone off? I do this every day for several hours. Disconnecting is a good thing, y'all. In two or three sentences share with us a story/memory/incident from your childhood (or something current if that's too hard) where the telephone is featured. We all still laugh about my granddaddy and telephones. When he was finished talking he just hung up. You could be talking away and he was long gone. And do y'all remember trying to listen in on your siblings' conversations? You had to lift the receiver up ever so slightly and get your finger on that button thingy and then let your finger off ever so slowly and carefully so they couldn't hear that noise that was such a tattle tail and told on you every time you messed up the process? Good times. 

4. Close call, at someone's beck and call, call the shots, call a meeting, call it quits, call in sick, call on the carpet, wake up call...which call have you 'heard' recently? I haven't 'heard' it but I'm living 'at someone's beck and call' right now. Explain. Well, there are two grandbabies and wedding planning going on so...

5. What subject do you wish you'd paid more attention to in school? None. I paid attention. I was nerdish and I loved learning which made choosing one path while in college quite difficult. The only subject I avoided at all costs was math. That stuff gives me a headache and paying more attention made no difference. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. I was thinking how nice it would be if when you thought of something you wanted like a smoothie it would just appear and you wouldn't have to get up and do all the prep work and clean up. Or if you're in the middle of planning a wedding and POOF! it's done. Or your house needed painting or the yard needed work... Wouldn't it?

Have a great rest of the week, y'all!
