Wednesday Hodgepodge

I missed Wednesday Hodgepodge when I was out last week! Thanks to Joyce From This Side of the Pond for hosting it each Wednesday.

1. Sunday was the first day of spring. So they say. Ahem. What is your favorite outdoor springtime activity?

Seeing the bluebonnets on the side of the road.

2. Who would you want to come into your kitchen to cook dinner for you?

My friend Xandra. Not only is she a phenomenal cook, but it would also mean we would get to spend some time together! She really needs to come back to Texas.

3. When did you last fly a kite?

When my kids were little - at least ten years ago.

4. What topic puts you to sleep faster than anything?

Stock market analysis.

5. Which flowers do you associate with specific people, places, or events?

Yellow roses - my wedding. Bluebonnets - spring in Texas.

6. What significant historical events took place during your elementary school days?

Astronauts landing on the moon.

7. Do you swear? Do you pseudo-swear? (You know crap, shoot, friggin'?)

No to swearing. I would say no to the pseudo-swearing too because I've never considered "shoot" to be in that category. I don't consider it in the same category as the other two words listed. I pretty much abhor swearing and anything remotely connected. Including abbreviations, such as OMG.

I loved the poster on the wall of the dining room at the camp where we stayed in Progreso last week: "God doesn't have a last name and His first name isn't Oh My."

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Woohoo! The ortho MD put my girl in an air cast boot and took away the crutches yesterday, which means she can take it off to bathe and sleep and she can manage her books and viola at school. And my man's eye is healed from the tree branch-induced corneal abrasion. (Details about these injuries and the week in Progreso are here.
