Hodgepodging Along . . .

 

1. What kind of winter person are you-snow lover, fireplace snuggler, winter adventurer, or indoor hibernator? Elaborate. I actually do not like winter. It's fine. Really. It is not my favorite season. I love a brief snowfall . . .because it is so rare in Alabama. I do enjoy our fireplace and a cozy blanket -- I guess that makes me a "fireplace snuggler."

2. The Pantone color of the year is cloud dancer, described as a gentle, billowy off white shade. The color symbolizes 'peace, clarity, quiet reflection, renewal, and a soft reset'. Of the terms just listed which do you need most in your life this winter? Just reading those words is calming to me!! I would like a tad of all five, please!

3. Every cloud has a silver lining, on cloud nine, head in the clouds, storm clouds gathering, or cloud of suspicion...which 'cloud' idiom do you most relate to currently? Explain. I'm going to go with "every cloud has a silver lining" simply because I try to look for the good in situations.

4. coconut, cauliflower, cottage cheese, mayonnaise, onions, ranch dressing...of the white foods listed, which would be the hardest for you to give up? Do you like all or any of the foods on the list? I eat a lot of fat free cottage cheese. I had it this morning with blueberries for breakfast. I love coconut but don't eat it that often since my preferred way to eat it would be with dark chocolate. hahaha! I don't eat sweets.

5. Thomas Wentworth Higginson is credited with this quote-

"How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose, if there were no winter in our year." 

Agree or disagree? Tell us why. I guess I agree . . .winter makes me appreciate sunshine and warm temperatures and days filled with more hours of light.

6. Insert your own random thought here. Classes started on Monday - Spring Semester A. This semester brings Behavior in Organizations and a class on child development. I always feel totally overwhelmed during the first week or so of class. I have so much to read and so many projects. I have to take a deep breath (just did it!!), say a prayer (yep!) or 100, and take it one thing at a time - one deadline at a time.
