Hodgepodge Wednesday

1. How many times in your life have you moved houses? 

 I moved 8 times the first 18 years of my life. Yep! and I'm not talking about "down the street" moves. Most of them were what you would call "long distant" moves.  I didn't even graduate from the high school that I got my class ring from. ~smile~  But, I can honestly say that I enjoyed every place that I lived growing up and have friends all across the country as a result.


Hubby and I have moved 6 times in almost 40 years of marriage, but the first 5 times were in the first 10 years of our marriage. And, all of our moves have been "just around the corner" moves.  We have been in our current home, 30 years this June 1st.

2. What subject would you study if you had a year to devote to it? 

Any subject pertaining to Nursing. I have always wished that I had gone back to college and gotten a degree in Nursing.  I suppose that if I had really wanted it bad enough that I could have put forth the effort and done it.  But, that's a subject for another day. ~smile~

3. What in this world breaks your heart?

 Oh, there are a lot of things that break my heart, but the moral decline of our country would be at the top of my list.  

4. What is one item that symbolizes the times in which we live? Why?

The first thing that came to my mind, was the cell phone.  Folks that cannot afford gas for their car, or food for their table have a cell phone. Something about that just doesn't make good sense, but it does say that we have become an overly connected society at all costs. ~hum~

  5. Share a favorite bumper sticker or t-shirt slogan.

6. How do you like your spaghetti? I like it with a meat sauce, not meatballs.  And, I like angel hair spaghetti.  I NEVER eat spaghetti when I'm eating out but Hubby and I eat it quite often at home.  I make it with one of the various Ragu sauces and add seasoned ground beef to it.  Top with some Parmeasan cheese and it's delicious!

7. What is one piece of advice you would give a recent, or soon to be recent, graduate? Never forget that you will live with the consequences of the decisions you make today for the rest of your life, be they good or bad.

8. Insert your own random thought here. 

 I am totally mesmerized by the "comeback" of the cupcake!  I watched "Cupcake Wars" on the Food Network last night and could hardly believe some of the clever ideas these cooks had for their cupcakes.  Yea! for cupcakes, they bring back a lot of childhood memories for me.


Hey, Joyce these were some "toughies" today but with all you've been through the past few days, we're just glad you were able to come up with some questions. Thanks for always being there for us on Wednesdays!
