Wednesday Hodgepodge

Wednesday Hodgepodge is always a highlight of my week!  If you're in the mood to play along and have a little fun with the rest of us, head on over to Joyce's blog and link up!  Let the good times roll!

Here's the questions for today:

1.  George Washington-Abraham Lincoln-Thomas Jefferson...who would you like most to meet and why?  I would definitely have to pick George. With him being our very first President, I'd love to know what he felt like when he was awarded that honor and responsibility.What did he consider to be his greatest weaknesses and triumphs? Did you know that he was the only President to ever be elected unanimously? Pretty amazing, huh?

2.  What's your favorite chain restaurant?  This one is easy peasy! When I'm in the mood from some good ol' comfort food, I head straight to Chick Fil-A for this...

Just so we're clear...I'll take a sweet tea with that!

3.  When you look back on your life, do you imagine you'll think about the goals you didn't meet with regret? Or will you look at what you've accomplished and say-it was good?  This is kind of a tricky one.  I've been a stay-at-home mom for 20 years now and I have never once regretted the decision I made to be home with my girls.  However, I do often wonder what things would have been like if I'd stayed in my profession of being a speech-language pathologist.  Would I have worked in a hospital setting or perhaps in a rehabilitation center?  I don't feel any regret, but I am curious about it.  Of course, I think the path I've been on all these years is the exact path I was meant to take all along. 

4.  Grapefruit-take 'em or leave 'em?  Given the choice between an orange and a grapefruit, which would you choose? Would you prefer it served 'as is' or squeezed into juice?  I love grapefruit, but I don't buy them very often, at all.  I prefer to eat them exactly as they come with a little salt sprinkled on top. 

5.  When was the last time you cleaned out a closet?  Is there a closet in your home that currently needs cleaning?  What are you waiting for?  I'm proud to say that all of my closets are good to go! At the end of December of every year, we always go on a cleaning frenzy and donate a bunch of stuff to Goodwill.  I find it to be very therapeutic.

6.  You get to have lunch with 3 famous people...who would you like to see round your table?  OK...first and foremost would be this man...

Tim McGraw!  You have to have a little eye candy, you know? Of course, I'd have to remind myself not to order anything to eat with stringy cheese...that wouldn't be very pretty draped all over my chin! My 2nd choice would be this fella...

Tim Tebow!  I would love to hear his personal testimony...he's such an inspiration and example of FAITH!  Hmm...wonder if I could slip him Brittany's phone number?  My 3rd choice would be this country bumpkin...

Miss Dolly Parton herself!  I bet she'd be a hoot and a half to visit with! She just seems so genuine and real and I love that about her!  She's just who she is...take it or leave it!

7.  On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate your ability to parallel park?  Hmm...I don't do it often, but when I do, I'm always amazed at how good I am!  So, with that said, I'd give myself an 8! Not bad, huh?

8.  Insert you own random thought here.  With Chris getting a job offer (FINALLY) yesterday, I've been anxious about a lot of things.  First of all, I'm nervous about transferring Abby out of the high school she's now attending.  Sometimes, that can be a difficult transition for kids to make. She's already told me several times that she doesn't want to move...and that's hard on my heart.  Secondly, it would put us about 3 hours farther away from Brittany.  Thirdly, the very thought of trying to sell our house, again, makes me crazy!  Everything has to be 'just so' all the time and it's next to impossible to relax because you never know when a realtor might call for a showing. So, please pray for me during this exciting, yet emotional time. I'm certain that everything will work out in the end, just as it's intended to be.
