Hi Friends! It is time for Hodgepodge with Joyce so let's get to her fun questions!
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
None of the above really...Easter decor got put away so the artificial eggs in our lives are disappearing for the year...I do always tell my girls, "don't put all of your eggs in one basket...keep those options open." So there's that
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?
I love beer! I am looking forward to visiting Cisco Brewers for the first time on Nantucket when I go with my besties one weekend this May. Love a good draft and I am also a big fan of the blueberry beers out there, Sam Summer and Blue Moon Belgian White Ale.
All of those beer recipes sound good to me. I have actually added beer to chili when I followed Jimmy Fallon's Crockpot Chili recipe- it is very good!
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 one younger brother. Best thing about being my sibling? Not sure- he would struggle to find an answer too I'm sure ;) Probably the nieces I gave him?
My husband is an only child and always yearned for siblings. We have created our extended family from the wonderful friends we have made who are often times closer than family and the ones who are there when you truly need them.
4. How do you feel about floral scents in products? Do you have a favorite?
I love floral scents in my perfumes. Estee Lauder Pleasures is my favorite springtime scent and reminds me of spring flowers.
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.
Generator. Life saver during power outages- ensures our pipes don't freeze- ensures our food in our fridge doesn't spoil- keeps the heat running and less important but still so nice, keeps the tvs and computers running for entertainment purposes. We can thank my Father In Law for buying us one and recently replacing it when the original one bit the dust.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I have such mixed emotions and mixed feelings right now. I am so excited about spring arriving- warmer weather- longer days- windows open- buds- blooms- more GREEN- and all of the spring events...but at the same time, my heart hurts because we are that much closer to graduation for Diana...that much closer to our family dynamic changing...and that makes me sad...so proud of her...so happy for her...so excited for all of the celebrations...and at the same time...sad...melancholy...wondering...where did all of those years go? The Saturday morning Starbucks dates...the drives to school together....the dance lessons....the cheer comps...the theater performances...the Friday Night Lights...where? What happened?
