Wednesday Hodgepodge

I will be linking up with Wednesday Hodgepodge hosted by "From This Side of the Pond"



These are the questions she posted tonight.

1. Did you know there is a National Day of pretty much everything in the universe? February 23 happens to be National Inconvenience Yourself Day...when was the last time you were inconvenienced?

2. When a room in your house needs painting who does the job?

3. Are you friends with your cousins?

4. Do you use an alarm clock? If yes-is it an actual alarm, music, or something else?

5. What do you put ketchup on?

6. What smells make you nostalgic?

7. Have you heard about the high school English teacher recently suspended as a result of some things she wrote in her personal blog? You can read the story here but in a nutshell she vented a lot of frustration onto her blog. She didn't mention individual students by name but she did make some harsh comments about kids in general and their parents.

What are your thoughts-If you're a parent is your child's teacher online and are you 'friend' or 'follower' there? If you're a teacher are you on facebook and do you accept or friend students on fb? How about their parents? If you're a student are you friends with your current or former teachers online? Do any of them have blogs you read? If you're a teacher or a parent do you ever use your blog as a place to vent your frustrations with our educational system? So much to discuss...

8. Insert your own random thought here.

My Answers:
1.  I can not remember the last time I was inconvenienced. Hubby might say the last time we went out to eat and it took almost an hour to get a burger. Me, I take things in stride and try not to get worked up over little things. Now, I am not a Polly Anna but maybe if more people could just take a

Sunshine Pill

Maybe ..just maybe..we could all get along better!

2. When a room needs painting we both do it. Hubby is a much better painter but I like to help.  He is better at edging and I like to roll the walls.

3.  I do not have any cousins..my Mom, and Dad were both an only child.


4.  Yes and No. I set an alarm clock but it rarely goes off because  I have a wonderful internal alarm.  Usually I wake up ten minutes before the MUSIC alarm goes off. In Loveland I wake up to;



5.  I put Ketchup on French Fries!





6.  The smell that makes me nostalgic is Opium perfume, that my Mother used.







7.  My children are adults with children of their own. My son is a High School teacher and I know he does not have a FB account, nor does he blog.



8.  My random thought is .... I enjoyed this blog hop even though it took way to long to complete. I was trying to talk on the phone and type at the same time..just does not work for me!
