I am joining up with Joyce at From This Side of the Pond and all of our friends for the Wednesday Hodgepodge. I apologize for two posts today -- The April A to Z Challenge is coming to a close. I'm going to make it through Z (tomorrow). Yay!
1. Are you feeling more reset, restart, or full speed ahead as we move into May? Tell us why.
I took my second final on Monday night and I have about four weeks before summer semester begins. I guess that means I am in "reset" mode . . .or maybe another option would be "refresh" mode. I know that wasn't an option, but it would fit, right?
2. Painting, sculpture, architecture, literature, cinema, theatre, music...what's your favorite form of art? Elaborate.
I think my favorite is theatre, but I do love architecture! I also love to read, but I'm not sure the books I read are classified as art haha!
3. What time is dinner at your house? How do you feel about leftovers?
We normally eat dinner around 6:00 or maybe 6:30. Neither of us likes to eat and then go to bed a short time after so we've never been the kind of folks who eat dinner at 8:00 p.m. We eat leftovers all of the time, but I have a strict limit on how many days something can hang out in the fridge and still be edible. Mark, on the other hand, will eat thing FAR longer than I will. Nope. Not happening.
4.What's the last thing you fell down a rabbit hole investigating?
Trips, maybe? You start looking at one trip and then you realize the dates don't work . . .so you find another. . .and it goes on and on.
5. And now for a question from the book Marilyn (Memphis Bridges) gave
me...
At what are you 'self-taught?'
I have no idea. Others taught me the basics of cooking, but I did work hard on my own. I guess I am self-taught in the area of preparing large quantities of food - cooking for 15-20 people every week has honed that skill. What else do I know how to do . . . .Many years ago, I participated in smocking classes and sewing classes. I've even taken a photography class (long ago) so I'm not self-taught in any of those skills.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I need to clean out my pantry! My pantry isn't large but I've been thinking about painting the walls and shelves a dark and moody color - like dark blue?? I don't have anything else in that color scheme, but just wanted to do something totally crazy. Do any of you have cool pantries that you've painted a fun color? If so, please share with me! Let's be honest, I will be doing good to just get it cleaned out.
We don't have any moody spaces in this house but a friend's daughter just color drenched her powder room in a dark green and I love it. I think moody works for smaller spaces especially. I say go for it. It's just paint. So do you have four weeks free now? I hope you enjoy the refresh : )
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your summer semester. My youngest has 2 months left at college and this school year has flown over.
ReplyDeleteIt is the other way around with my fella and I. I will eat things if they smell and look good even if they have been in the fridge for days. My fella always says no! lol
Oh yes! I always do that, researching one trip and move onto another which is completely different.
