Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What would you do if you found a pot of gold? Let's pretend this pot of gold is worth exactly $1500 (which would actually be more like a cup of gold at current values). Anyway, let's also pretend you have to spend it as opposed to making a donation someplace.Now tell me what you would do with that cup pot of gold?

I'm going to assume I'm also not allowed to save it or use it to pay bills--YAY!  I can think of plenty of things to do with $1500.

1.  Day at the spa--pedicure, wax, massage, maybe a haircut.  (about $230 with tip)

2.  Trip to Richmond to visit Hobby Lobby for some new scrapbooking toys, and fabric for Macy's nursery.  (Easily $500)
3.  Old Navy for some clothes shopping.  ($200)

4.  Have my 3rd Trimester 3-D Ultrasound.  ($125)

5.  Maternity Pictures ($275)

6.  I could easily spend the remaining $170 on Amazon.com.

2. Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day in any way, shape, or form?
I LOVE St Patrick's Day.  My birthday is the 16th (today, actually!), so it has always been a good excuse for 2 days of partying.  Also, Baby Daddy is Irish so he likes it a lot.  Usually he cooks corned beef and cabbage for me, and we drink green beer, or Irish Car Bombs, or some other Irish brew.  Last year we bought Harp and had Irish Car Bombs.  Obviously I won't be drinking any of those things this year.  I will actually be going out for my birthday that night with some girlfriends--dinner at Outback.  Yummy!

3. Have you been bitten by the Spring Cleaning bug? What spring cleaning job most needs doing at your house? What spring cleaning job are you most dreading?
I moved a month ago, so I have been unpacking and Spring Cleaning as I go.  Since the apartment is already clean, I don't really have any jobs that need to be done, or any jobs that I am dreading.  Today I cleaned the coffee table, which is one of my least favorite chores.  It is wood with glass panels, and it gets to incredibly dirty.  It looks gorgeous when it's clean, but it is such a pain to clean it!!

4. lime-shamrock-sage-forest...your favorite shade of green?
Bright green--like a Kelly Green or Spring Green.

5. Thomas Jefferson once said, "I'm a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." So...do you believe in luck or do you believe we make our own luck?
I believe in a little bit of both.  I don't know that it is luck as much as God's hand though.  I think when it comes to big things, we make out own luck.  But for little things like getting an excellent parking spot at Target, I tend to think that is just luck.

6. Monday (3/14) was Pi Day. Get it? Pi =3.14. Those math types are so clever aren't they? Since I'm not one of them tell me what's your favorite piE (the edible kind).
I love cherry pie!  I am also a fan of paper bag apple pie, which my friend Kevin makes.

7. That same date (3/14) happens to be the birthdate of the late physicist Albert Einstein. I bet he knew the value of Pi. So...what do you think is more important and or valuable in life... intelligence or common sense?
I think you have to have some of each.  The problem with most of the really intelligent people I have met is that they completely lack common sense.  But, even if you have all the common sense in the world, you still need some intelligence to do well in life.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

I can't believe another year of life is behind me!  My 20s are going by too fast!
