C'est Moi Trois

1. It's that most wonderful time of the year...tax season! Do you complete your own returns or farm that job out to the professionals?

I don't make enough money to need professional help ... for my taxes. ;)

 

2. This next question comes from Kansas Bob...he posed it in his response to something I asked in an earlier Wednesday post and I asked him if I could add it to the Hodgepodge some day. Today's the day....

Which do you think has changed you more-love or pain?

That is a good question. So many different levels. My first thought was to say pain because I have (mostly subconsciously) crafted my life to avoid being hurt. However, love inspired me leave my safe life and go to seminary, throwing caution to the wind. If it weren't for that love, I wouldn't be in Idaho now.

3. Tangerine Tango has been named color of the year for 2012. Your thoughts? Would I find this color anywhere in your house? How about in your closet? If not, will you be adding this color to your life in some way in 2012? If you're not sure what tangerine tango looks like click here.

I think that I do have something in my house that bears a striking resemblance to "Tangerine Tango" though I don't know if it is an exact match. What I can tell you is that it is a mere coincidence. I acquired the pieces years ago. I would never buy something because it is the it thing of the year. My rebellious nature might even make me resist getting it unless I really loved it. Besides, as a general rule, I'm not drawn to orange though it can make a nice accent color.

4. Are you a collector? What do you collect and does it get admired, used, and/or dusted regularly?

I've tried to be a collector. Does that count? I tried to collect turkey napkin rings, but I found the selection to be too limited. However, they do get to make an appearance around Thanksgiving time. :)

5. February is National Heart Month...besides a green salad what is one tasty heart healthy dish you like to prepare?

I just got a new bottle of extra-virgin olive oil. Olive oil's supposed to be good for your heart. Does that count?

 

6. When was the last time you had car trouble?

I really wouldn't like to tempt fate by talking about it. lol

7. Have you been more demanding on yourself lately or less? Is that a good trend?

Both? I feel enormous pressure to do my job well, and I work very hard on it. Yet, I also feel that I'm not being nearly as productive as I could or should.  It's a good trend if I can turn the pressure into production. I had to spend a lot of time "fighting fires" when I first started. Now, I'm able to do more long range planning (at least a few months out). That should really help with things. (Isn't this exciting? Not! lol)

8. Insert your own random thought here.

I want a puppy.

 

Hope you have a fantabulous Wednesday ... Tune in tomorrow when I talk about religion. I think that I'm going to start calling it Provocative Thursday. :)
