1.Why do you blog? Have your reasons changed over time? I started blogging when our kids went away to college. I felt like our lives were changing so quickly and I realized how fast those first years had flown by. I’ve always loved writing – in a journal, in a notebook, on my computer-and decided blogging would be a good way to keep up with “stuff.”
2. What's a typical Friday night look like at your house? I
don’t think we have a routine for Friday nights. Sometimes Mark goes to the
farm and I’m at home (right now in the apartment). Sometimes we make plans to
meet friends for dinner. Sometimes we hang out and watch something on TV.
3. Do you like donuts? Your favorite kind? How often do you treat yourself to a donut? Have you ever made homemade donuts? I love doughnuts but I do not eat them. I have a few favorites – a good old glazed doughnut from Krispy Kreme is always delicious. Krispy Kreme also has a cream filled chocolate glazed that is delicious. Heavenly Donuts has a red velvet donut with cream cheese on top. It is divine.

I have made homemade doughnuts
using Pound Dropper’s recipe. You can find her recipe here.
4. How do you feel about shopping? Are you an online
shopper? Catalog shopper? Brick and mortar shopper? Do you order groceries
online or prefer to select items with your own two hands? Let’s see – How
I feel about shopping depends on what I’m buying and how much money I have. I
do the majority of my shopping online. Have y'all bought anything from Tuckernuck? Oh my goodness - I love their dresses!!!! Maybe once or twice a year, I’ll go to
Talbots or Chico and shop in a brick and mortar store. I will also sometimes
run into some of our local stores. I much prefer shopping for clothing online.
I usually order big groceries through Shipt. We have a HUGE Target about 2
miles from us and I order and have delivered by Shipt. I love it when Carly is my shopper.
She is great at picking out produce. I usually make at least one stop a week in
an actual store – Walmart, Publix, or Piggly Wiggly.
5. Next week's Hodgepodge finds us somehow in the month of
April, which just so happens to be National Poetry Month. Sum up (or tell us
something about) your month of March in the form of a limerick. You can do
it!!
There once was a girl named Lisa Kay
Who lived in an apartment through May
Her house burned down
Not quite to the ground
And the builders are building all day
So the workmen are really working like crazy. It will be a miracle
if they finish by the end of May. I’m sure we did something in March I could write
about but this is the best I could do!!
6. Insert your own random thought here. I need to sit
down and make a list of blog posts I would like to write and actually do it! I’m
trying to get ahead in my class so I can take my final early so that I have a
little breather between spring and summer semester. That would be a perfect
time to write . . .and maybe I should begin packing up what we’ve accumulated in the apartment
(if it looks like they will finish the rebuild by the end of May).
