Come on and answer the Hodgepodge questions this week! Answer them on your blog or on facebook, and then link up with Joyce and see what everyone else had to say. You know you've been wanting to, so this is the week to actually do it. Well? What are you waiting for?
1. Who taught you how to cook?
Don't hold this against her, but my mother did. At least, she tried. It just didn't stick. Although my rice usually does ...
2. Have you been told you think too much? Are too much of a perfectionist? Are too sensitive? Were they right?
I think my problem is usually not thinking enough rather than thinking too much. And I'm only a perfectionist when it comes to someone else's work.
3. As a child did you have a favorite blanket or toy? Tell about it.
I had a doll with red hair, and her name was Cinnamon. (I know that sounds like a stripper name, but I didn't make it up--the doll came with that name.) You could turn a button on her stomach, and her hair would get shorter. Than if you wanted to make it longer again, you grabbed the ponytail that was coming out of her head and pulled it to full length again. We were high-tech, I tell you!
4. What 'institution' do you have the most faith in?
The mental institution I call home. You don't have to be crazy to live here, but it helps.
Since any autumn garden I would be in would clearly not be my own--what with my black thumb and all--I don't think I can afford to be choosy. I'll take whatever I can get.
6. What superpower do the kids in your neighborhood seem to posses?
I'm not sure if it was a teenager or an adult, but someone had the ability to disappear after running into the side of my car, which was parked on the street for the night.
7. Are you a fan of the cranberry?
I've tried to be. Really I have. But I've finally decided that cranberries were not added to the Thanksgiving meal for taste, but rather for the color they add to the table. And I'm okay with that.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
Today I helped my son calculate logarithms. I did it all by myself, following the instructions he was given and not using the score key for help. For a gal who's always believed that x = 5, I think that's pretty good.

My sister had a doll with the hair that grew...she cut it : ) My mom was a teensy bit upset as that was the point of the doll. Her name was Chrissy.
