I hope you are all having a good week. It's Wednesday, which means it's time to join in with the Wednesday Hodgepodge with Joyce who blogs at From This Side of the Pond! Each week there are 6 questions, we answer and then link up. Simple!
1. Egg on your face, putting all your eggs in one basket, a good egg, walk on eggshells, nest egg, or a tough egg to crack...which eggy idiom currently applies to your life in some way? Explain
This one had me staring at the list for a bit because none of them really jumped out at me straight away. If I had to pick one, it would be "walk on eggshells." It's nothing serious and more in a blogging sense. I share lots of my life online and it's a bit of a balancing act. I want to be open and real but there’s also lots that I don't share. Sometimes, when I write I wonder how some people will take it and I, of course, don't want to upset or unintentionally offend someone. So I tweak things, soften things or just leave them out completely. Now and again I will write a whole blog post ranting about something and then just not publish it. It is good to get it all out of my head and written down.
2. April 7th is National Beer Day...are you a beer drinker? If so do you have a favorite? Beer battered fish, beer bread, beer can chicken, beer brats...which one sounds good to you? Have you made any of these?
No, I don't drink beer at all, I am more of a wine or cocktail drinker. Even the smell of beer puts me off. I really don't like the taste or understand how people can enjoy it but I am betting that beer drinkers feel the same about wine.
When it comes to food, I’m not totally anti-beer. I do like beer batter, especially when it comes to fish and onion rings but I had to Google what others were. Beer canned chicken just looks wrong but I do like the look of beer bread and beer brats.
3. Do you have siblings? What's the best thing about being your sibling? If you don't have siblings, what would you say are the pros and cons of being an only child?
I have a brother. He is the best but I am biased. If something breaks, he’s the one who already owns the exact tool needed to fix it and if he doesn’t have one, he knows someone who does. He’s also just really calm in a crisis. I always joke that if anything ever went properly wrong in the world, I’m heading straight to his house because he’d have backup generators, supplies and probably a plan I don’t even know about. He is the type of person you need in your life when things are bad.
4. How do you feel about floral scents in products? Do you have a favorite?
Floral scents aren’t really my thing. Some of them can feel a bit too strong or overpowering and lavender is a big no for me. It’s meant to be calming but it makes me feel sick. If I had to pick something with a floral scent, it would be something really soft that you could hardly smell. Most of the time I’d choose fruity or clean scents over florals.
5. What's one thing in your home that begins with the letter G that you would say is a keeper, something you'll hold on to? Tell us why.
I’d say my Garden bits! I’ve slowly built up a little collection over the years. Pots, tools, little greenhouses, random ornaments and all sorts that live either in the shed or dotted around outside. A few bits came from my dad and other things I’ve picked up myself over time. Every year I end up adding something new and without fail I always seem to lose at least one gardening glove and have to buy another set.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
We are just coming to the end of a 4-day weekend and I am so confused about what day it is. Good Friday felt like a Saturday, Saturday felt like a Friday, Sunday just felt like a Sunday and Monday also felt like a Sunday. I am not complaining though, it has been nice to have my family home and have a relaxing long weekend. I know I am going to be off with what day it is all week. Tuesday will feel like a Monday and so on and just to add to the confusion, my fella Stu has a few days off work, so every day will feel like a Monday, his usual day off work. lol
I answered somewhat similarly for the first question- I just could not go into details!! We both chose garden items as our g word is not a surprise :). Your brother sounds like a great guy- how wonderful to not just know someone like that but to be related to someone like that, lol. I hope your week is going well with different schedules and whatnot! Have a great one!
