Et tu, Hodgepodge?

1. William Shakespeare's birthday is celebrated on April 23rd...when did you last read Shakespeare? What's your favorite Shakespeare play?

I probably last read Shakespeare in high school, so that was more than 30 years ago. I'm not a big fan, and I can't say I have a favorite of his plays.

2. What food(s) would you recommend a foreign visitor try when they visit your home country?

Tex-Mex, of course!

3. What's a lie you often tell yourself?

I'm going to go to bed early.

4. What's something you're good at that might surprise us? Remember this is a family friendly blog!

I honestly can't think of anything. That is, I can think of things I'm good at, but I don't think you'd be particularly surprised.

5. Who is your favorite animal character from a book?

Winnie the Pooh. This one was easy!

6. April showers bring May flowers...do you have a green thumb?

Only if I get green ink on it.

7. Speaking of rainy days...which one of the following activities would you most want to spend time doing on a rainy day-

sort photos and create albums
bake cookies
read a good book
hold an all-day movie marathon
organize closets, cupboards, or bookshelves
try a new recipe
fix something that needs fixing
Read a book! (See #4 about the surprise factor!)

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Be sure to scroll down to yesterday's post and enter for a chance to win one of two copies of Christy Award finalist Ginny Yttrup's phenomenal debut novel Words. It's the novel she didn't want to write and I didn't want to read. . . .and it's absolutely incredible!
