Wednesday in Norweigan means "Hodgepodge"
(sounds about right?)
So let's get to it...
1. What's a pet peeve you have when vacationing?
Nausea...
Because vacation means travel... & travel means I turn shades of green or white ... & usually have my stomach protest any kind of movement...
Doesnt vacation sound like fun for me?
2. Are you a light packer or do you need everything in your closet plus the kitchen sink?
I'm fairly easy... I can get everything in one bag...
usually because I know that no matter where I go, there's a Walmart near & I can run & pick something up... from shampoo, to make up, to flip flops...
I had a friend, that when her mom would come visit her, she'd come with nothing. Then she'd go to Goodwill & buy a few days worth of clothes - it would cost like $10.00 - & then at the end of the trip, she'd just donate them back.
Cheaper then the cost of luggage on a plane...
3. What's the best lesson a child ever taught you?
I could talk on this forever... but here's just a few...
...giggling is fun...
...take naps to rev up some energy...
...take time to play....
...believe in simple things...
...skip whenever possible...
...everything tastes better with ketchup...
4. Share one piece of advice you'd give a recent graduate as they attempt to enter the job market?
Keep your car clean...
I have no idea what that means ... that just came to mind....
I'll probably think of a deep, purposeful meaning in it later...
5. What's your favorite lemon something?
Lemon cake is wonderful... Lemon Bars are delish...
but I'm a simple gal & love me some Lemon Heads!
Love when you get the REALLY sour ones that make your jaw pucker up!
6. Flat sandal, wedge, heel...your favorite footwear?
I'm usually a flip-flop, or flat sandal kinda gal. My feet cramp up if I'm in heels too long. I do like wedges - but always feel funny in anything that makes me taller.
But lately, I've got more running shoes then anything else. Just bought another pair because they were half off ... which translates to "MUST BUY"...
I actually take better care of my running shoes then any of my other shoes too - only wear them for the work outs, unlace the shoes, box them up afterwards. Its kinda odd my obsession with them.
7. What do you like best about a beach holiday? If you're not a beach lover (GASP!!) what do you dislike the least?
I've said it many times... give me mountains over beaches... I'm not a beach fan.
From water that you cant see through, which means creatures are around you & you have no idea what's ready to bite your toes off... to the sand that gets in places sand should NEVER be... just send me in some tranquil mountain.
I'll take a bear over a shark anyday
8. Insert your own random thought here.
Did you see where a paralyzed woman finished a marathon 16 days after it started??? She had some sort of robotic contraption on her legs... but FINISHED!!!
But they wouldnt give her a medal because her time disqualified her... REALLY??
JERKS!
But the goodness of people! Some others came to watch her finish & gave her their medals...
I cried when I saw this story!!
