Random Dozen

Well, I haven't been blogging much this week.

I am in countdown mode.....countdown to vacation on Saturday!!! And to be honest, it is about all I can think about....I am beyond ready for it. I am working very hard to focus and get everything done I need to before we leave....

.....this time next week I will be in a deck chair........


1. On a scale of 1-10, how superstitious are you, honestly? maybe a .5 ...honestly.

2. Julius Caesar is quoted as saying, "I came, I saw, I conquered." Which circumstance or experience of yours does this saying best describe? Writing our children's ministries curriculum with 3 other ladies......but it would go....I was called, I came, I saw, I conquered with God's help!!

3. If I peeked in on your day like a mischievous little leprechaun, at what time would I most likely find you blogging? in the morning and then again at night.

4. Re springing forward for Daylight Saving Time, is there anything you've ever been really early or really late for? I am typically early or on time to most things......and off the top of my head, can't come up with anything I was really late for, though I'm sure there has been something!

5. What are you most looking forward to concerning Spring? warmth!!! I love the sun and I love the hot weather! All the flowers in my yard aren't too bad either!

6. Shamrocks are the national flower of Ireland and are picked on St. Patrick's Day and worn on the lapel or shoulder. Do you wear green on St. Patty's Day? when I was younger, I wore green on St. Patty's day to keep from getting pinched...now not so much.

7. One of Caesar's assassins, Casca, said, "But, for my own part, it was Greek to me," which of course means he didn't understand something. Probably his own lines in the play. Anyway, what is something that is "Greek to you," something incomprehensible or indecipherable? It is completely beyond me how some adults act like children and then expect their children to act like adults.

8. Is March behaving more like a lion or a lamb where you live? after the tornado and hail storm we had last week....I would say lion.

9. "An extra yawn one morning in the springtime, an extra snooze one night in the autumn is all that we ask in return for dazzling gifts. We borrow an hour one night in April; we pay it back with golden interest five months later." -Winston Churchill. If you had one extra hour per day every day, what would you do with it? I am sure I would do something different each day with it...but I know I would NOT spend it cleaning!!!

10. Legend says that every Leprechaun has a pot of gold hidden deep in the Irish countryside. Aside from real gold or money, what material item would be in your dream pot of gold? maybe a kindle?

11. "The best things are nearest: breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you." Robert Louis Stevenson. Look around you right now and tell us about something essential or beautiful very near you that you take for granted every day. I have a BIG glass of water near me...it is something very essential and something that I don't really think too much about. However, I can walk to the faucet at any time and get a full glass of it, fresh and without disease. There are many people around the earth that can't do that.

12. Just for a bit o' fun, click here (www.blogthings.com/irishnamegenerator/) and then report your Irish name. Nuala O'Donovan.....how do you even pronounce that first name?
