Wednesday's Hodgepodge

                                                           Visit Joyce and join the fun!

1. American Idol is back for a 14th season. Are you watching? Have you ever watched? If you were to audition for the show (or were made to audition), what song would you sing?


Yes, I am watching American Idol and think it is off to a great start.  There seems to be a lot of talent so far.  I've been watching for several years, I think since Season 3.  Well, I would never choose to audition but if I absolutely had to I'd attempt to sing something by James Taylor.  Classic, yet simple. 

2.  Mark Twain is quoted as saying, "If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first." 

So when did you last have to 'eat a frog'? Or two? How'd that work out? 

 

Does taking down my Christmas tree count?  It took me a bit to get started but once I did it went quickly.  

3. If you were going on safari, what is the number one animal you'd want to see?


I'd look for giraffes on a safari.  Such amazing creatures and unique.  Last year while on vacation in Florida we went to a drive through safari. Here is a picture taken from our car.  

4. January 21st is National Granola Bar Day. I know. Do you like granola bars? Chewy or crunchy? Your favorite flavor? How about regular granola? Let's exhaust this topic in honor of the holiday okay?


I like granola bars although I don't eat them often.  I like chocolate chip chewy ones or oats and honey crunchy ones.  I like regular granola on yogurt but usually only have it when traveling.  It's simple and relatively healthy so that makes up for all the other eating that happens on vacation, right?


5. If only__________________________________________.


It would snow already.  I've had a headache for a couple of days and I'm hoping once it snows the pressure will be relieved.  Barometric pressure changes give me headaches. 


6. You can add one item to your bedroom. What will it be? Keep it family friendly please.


A flat screen TV.  A few years ago I took the TV out of our bedroom because it was cluttering it up.  But now I'm thinking a nice flat screen on the wall would be nice.  I got out of the habit of falling asleep to the TV (thankfully), but sometimes it would be nice, especially when I'm not feeling well and want to lay down. 

7. What is one thing you've enjoyed about winter thus far? If it's not winter in your corner of the globe, what season is it, and what is something you've enjoyed about whatever season it happens to be?

 

 

I've enjoyed staying home on cold nights and watching TV with the glow of the Christmas tree.  We finally took our tree down tonight and now I'm deciding on which way I like the furniture arranged.  It always looks so strange when the tree first comes down.  I'm hoping for a nice snowfall but so far just a few flakes here and there. 

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

Sorry about the messy post today.  There seems to be some issues with formatting.  I'll see if I can figure it out later.
