1. My very first edition of The Wednesday Hodgepodge was published on November 10, 2010 (linked here if you're curious). Tell us something about your life from that era.
We were getting ready for our son's wedding (January 2011) and living life, celebrating birthdays, and going to meetings. Here is post1 and post2 from that week from my blog.
2. What's a song you love that relates to time in some way?
I don't know that I have a song I love about time, but the two that popped into my head -- Time in a Bottle (Jim Croce) and Time of My Life (from Dirty Dancing). Switching gears from Dirty Dancing to faith . . .I do love an old hymn, "Take Time to Be Holy." I also love the scripture passage in Ecclesiastes about time -- a time for everything.
3. May is nearly upon us. When did you last need to yell 'MAY DAY-MAY DAY!!'?
May Day is a distress call, correct? I had a scare this weekend. I'm supposed to graduate from Community College this Friday and over the weekend, I thought I was a few credits short. I had a couple of emails with my advisor that showed I was good, but I was a tad panicked. I couldn't talk to my advisor until this morning and she says I'm good to go!! I think my email to her was a distress call!! (graduation post will come sometime after Friday)
4. How do you feel about food trucks? Is this a dining experience you enjoy? Do you have a favorite? What's something you've ordered from a food truck?
Sometimes our HOA brings in a couple of food trucks. I like it. I think my favorite was Indian food - butter chicken! For our Mardi Gras parade, we had food trucks and I got a really good burger and fries. It seems like very few food trucks (here) have healthy options so that would be a negative for both Mark and me.
5. We're bidding farewell to April...what are three adjectives you might use to describe the month you're leaving behind. This kind of question usually stumps me. I can't come up with three words. This time I actually have not one, not two, but three answers! "It is finished" - one degree down (AA) and one to go (BS) - could also be "Fulfillment of dreams" - never dreamed I would have a college degree of any kind. "Easter was glorious" - seriously, our Holy Week services and Easter services were so amazing and filled my spiritual cup to overflowing.
6. Insert your own random thought here. From Ecclesiastes 3:
For everything there is a season, and a time for every
matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.

Graduation-whoohoo! Congratulations! I hope you have a little break before the summer classes start. I love the verses from Ecclesiastes too. They're a good guide for living. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI didn't start blogging until 2012 so it is hard to remember what I was doing in 2010. Blogs are such a good way to record those special times.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on graduating from Community College! What a worry about the credits. I am glad everything turned out OK.
I can really relate to your credit scare. Once in college, I realized that while I stopped going to a class that I planned to drop, I didn't actually drop it. By the time I realized it, I had to do an official appeal to be able to drop it. If the appeal failed, I would not be able to drop the class and I would fail the class because I hadn't been going. I was super stressed about it but thankfully I was able to drop it. College is fraught with worry- congrats on your upcoming graduation! Time of My Life is a great song as are the time for everything verses :).
ReplyDeleteA huge congratulations to you on graduating this Friday!! Glad your May Day was only a scare and not reality! Looks like we were both planning weddings in 2010! Now I'll pop over to your Z post.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your graduation. :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your random.
I need to get back to doing the Hodgepodge. I remember when Joyce first started hosting it!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea you’d gone back to school. Shame on me, but my blog reading took a detour for a few years. What are you majoring in? Congratulations on this first huge accomplishment!!
Congratulations!!! You DID it!! Woohoo! Love the random thought from Ecclesiastes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your well-deserved graduation, Lisa! I hope your friends and family celebrate you in style!
ReplyDeleteThat verse from Ecclesiastes is one of my favorites.
Enjoyed your answers. Congrats on graduating!!! Whoop whoop!! I like those songs too. I think opinions on food trucks are definitely mixed. I love them...IF they're good ones and reputable.
