Wednesday Hodgepodge

(Link in meme-roll)

1. This week's Hodgepodge is Volume 123. What's something you've done recently that was as easy as 1-2-3?

Re-signing up with Weight Watchers was very painless and easy. The actual dieting itself isn't going so well quite yet, but I am eating somewhat less so that's a step.

2. The Wednesday Hodgepodge also happens to fall on the first day of May ...what is something you may do this month?

We may go on a short vacation at some point this month. We'll see. Nothing is set in stone yet.

3. The Englishman Horace Walpole is credited as saying, "The world is a tragedy to those who feel, but a comedy to those who think." How do you see it?

Yes. Better to do both in moderation.

4. May is National Hamburger Month...how often do you eat a burger? What are your must-haves when it comes to burgers? I assume you vegetarians won't be celebrating so tell us what you'd like instead?

I don't love burgers, but I probably have 2-3 a month. Beast makes them for dinner often. Those are good.

5. Pansies, petunias, geraniums, impatiens...of the four mentioned, which is your favorite in a patio pot? Will there be pots on your patio this spring? (Or whenever spring comes to your part of the globe?) Who does the gardening at your house?

I loathe geraniums. Impatiens makes me think of Mom, and petunias even more so: she had pansies in the front planters every year. Pansies are fine. Maybe I'll get some for this summer. But for the most part, Beast does the yard work because being outside for too long makes me sick.

6. When did you last (literally or figuratively) shout "Mayday, Mayday!"

Hmmm. Last week. Can't remember why. Something work-related.

7. Say farewell to your April in ten words or less.

"Cya. Wouldn't wanna be ya." April pretty much sucked this year for so many reasons, not least of which was the weather.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

This has been a delightfully quiet and productive week at work. What a lovely change from the norm.
