Wednesday Hodgepodge

Wednesday! Time for hodgepodge over at Joyce's - From This Side of the Pond.

1. Share something you loved about your Christmas day.

SIL loves my meatballs so that was one appetizer that I fixed when they came over Friday night. When they got ready to leave I dipped most of them out into a container for them to take home - went into the living room to say something to the daughter and when I went back  to the kitchen there SIL was standing there at the crockpot with a fork trying to eat as many as he could before they left. All I could do was laugh.

2. You get to put five items in a time capsule to be opened in 100 years, what items would you choose and why?

Hard one - let's see...

• a smartphone since they seem to be the main communication mode these days - I don't own one by the way.
• a laptop - so they can laugh at how primitive our technology was.
• a pressure canner (not many people can their own vegetables anymore, 100 years from now nobody may even  know what it is)
• pictures depicting ordinary life - lots of them
• Crochet hooks - for the same reason as the canner

3. What do you like on a cracker?

Cheese - just about any kind

4. Do you make resolutions? How'd that work out for you this past year?

No resolutions for me - I try not to make promises (even to myself) that I know I may not be able to keep.

5. What's a song or song lyric you'll associate with 2011?

I really have no idea on that one.

6. How will you ring in the new year?

Sitting in my chair, crochet hook in hand, watching TV

7. What is something you look forward to in 2012?

MY GRANDSON!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Is it not sad that I am sitting here at 7 a.m. on my day off? Why is it that I cannot sleep past 5 a.m.?
