Here are my answers to this week's "HodgePodge" questions:
1. Summertime is a season of
reunions, weddings, and other family celebrations and gatherings...are any of
the above on your calendar in the next two months? We already had our
two week road trip north, to celebrate graduations and birthdays. It was a great
trip, full of family and friends and lots of love. Our son and DIL are here
now, and our grandson will be visiting next week, so more love & fun ahead!
2. June is National Iced Tea
Month...are you an iced tea drinker? If so, how do you like yours (sweet,
flavored, etc)? I do love iced tea, and will
drink a whole gallon of it when I take the time to make it. I like mine sweetened with stevia (no
sugar!). I most often just drink water, however.
3. When were you last nervous?
Looking back, was the 'event' actually nerve-worthy? I was nervous last week, because of the biopsy (after a
‘spot’ was found during my mammogram). Waiting for the results is a pain. I have found that being nervous and worrying
are two things that just waste energy and emotion. It is best if you can just
take a deep breath and know that God is in control of every situation.
4. The bristle toothbrush was invented in China on June 26, 1498...not sure how that date was pinned down so precisely but,
on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being sick to your stomach and 1 being not at all,
how nervous do you feel when you're headed to the dentist? Do you see
your dentist twice a year? I do see the dentist twice a year. It has
never made me apprehensive or nervous, so #1 for me. I like my dentist and the
dental techs. Fortunately, my teeth are strong and my gums (so far) are staying
healthy.
5. What's making news in your town
this week? The
George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin trial is the big news right now. It happened
here in Central Florida. Here is the
link to our newspaper’s front page, if you are really interested! http://www.theledger.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage?tc=ar
6. Curtains, drapes, blinds...your
window treatment of choice? Are there any bare windows in your house? Is that
by choice or because you haven't gotten around to covering them? I have blinds and curtains on all the windows. No bare
windows in our house. When the lights go
on, ALL the blinds get closed!! I’m no pervert, but when I walk past, or drive
by, a house with lights on and windows not covered, I look in….who doesn’t? I
don’t want any peeping toms watching us!! LOL
7. Summertime is officially here (in
the Northern hemisphere anyway)...what one song is a must-have on
your summer playlist? Lovin Spoonful’s “Summer In The City” http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/lovin_spoonful/summer_in_the_city.html
8. Insert your own random
thought here. Lots of stuff on my mind. Waiting
for the test results from my biopsy. Waiting is the worst part. Enjoying the “kids”. One of the pups is
jealous and tinkled twice on the floor last night. Five cats, two dogs, and five people in our little house….it’s a busy place
right now!!
I enjoyed your answers. (psssttt...I want my windows covered too..dont like anyone looking in uninvited.) lol
ReplyDeleteThose are good questions and I enjoyed reading your answers. I'm the same... no uncovered windows here for the same reason.
ReplyDeleteI did not know our toothbrush originated in China and they're still coming from there. I can imagine that first day, when that Chinese person finished making it, they all said... "we must write this down so it will be recorded in the history books". hahahaha
You have a great day.
I love iced tea too. I drink it all the time. I agree with you on blinds shut when lights are on. We have blinds + curtains up too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I definitely cover the windows. I am a tea drinker, but I don't like it sweet! I can't stand going to the dentist plus we don't have any insurance, so I go only when I have a problem - just like any other Dr. I do try to keep my teeth in good condition and brush and floss often.
ReplyDeleteI know you have had a busy summer. When do you get the results of the biopsy? I remember waiting too - we are in a hurry and they do not seem to be. I love ice tea too Terri. Love, sandie
ReplyDeleteTea isn't so popular in Spain unless it's herbal tea, which is drunk hot. I like iced coffee, but I never have it sweetened. I'm really particular about coffee. I'll drink it with a bit of milk, but no sugar and I can't stand coffee 'creamers' - too artificial. Mongo Jerry's song would be my choice to represent summer.
