One item of business...there will not be a Wednesday Hodgepodge next week (March 7). We'll be back in action the following week (March 14th). Thanks!
Here we go-
1. Are you currently operating at 100% capacity? If not, what % are you? What's keeping you there?
Oh wow, surely this is not 100%??? What does 100% feel like when you're a few decades past twenty? In my 20's I was almost always operating at 100%, but I am not 20 an.y.more. I'm probably somewhere around 75% right now which isn't bad, but it's not 100% that's for sure.
What's keeping me there? Various aches and pains, middle age and the metabolism to go with, and my neck. If you're still in your 20's that last bit means absolutely nothing, but if you're post-40 you know what I'm talking about.
2. Have you done your taxes? Planned/booked a summer holiday? Thought about or started your 'spring cleaning'? Besides what's listed here, tell us one task that needs doing before spring rolls around.
We have not 'done' our taxes but we have sent our organizer in to the professionals and once that icky task is completed I kind of feel like they're done. Our portion of the process is pretty much done, other than reviewing, signing, and paying.
We haven't booked a summer holiday because we live on a lake and have a steady stream of houseguests all summer long. Actually all the company does require quite a bit of planning and coordinating dates so I have been keeping up with that. Our calendar is filling up and we're excited to see friends and family for summer fun right here at home. There's boating and swimming and cornhole and cookouts and lots and lots of porch sitting. We try our best to spend summer right here at home and get away during other seasons of the year.
Spring Cleaning? I've started making a list of a few things I want to accomplish, but that's as far as I've gotten. As far as other tasks that need doing, there will be some yard clean up, but hubs has that covered, and we need to have the gutters cleaned so will schedule that soon.
3. What's a favorite food from your part of the country?
From my post title you might be able to guess, but since sweet tea is technically a beverage let's go with another local favorite-shrimp and grits. I'm sure there are people turning up their noses here, but don't knock it til you've tried it. There are a number of variations, but this restaurant's version is definitely one of our favorites.
4. This isn't a leap year, but let's run with it anyway...look before you leap, a leap of faith, grow by leaps and bounds, leap to conclusions, leap at the opportunity...which phrase might best be applied to your life currently (or recently)? Explain.
None of the above really fit. How about 'leap for joy'?
I might not have a summer holiday planned, but I do have a trip to see the mancub coming up soon, and that definitely qualifies.
5. As the month draws to a close list five fun and/or fabulous things (large or small) you noticed or experienced in February.
hiking in shorts! In February! (I wrote about it here)
Winter Olympics on TV
perfectly pink sunrises
waterfalls
lots of time spent with a daughter in the house
6. Insert your own random thought here.
So now that the Olympics are over what's everybody watching?
