Wednesday Medley

This Week's Questions for the Wednesday Medley...

Here is a medley of questions you may choose to answer on your Wednesday blog.  There aren't any rules and there is no obligation. Link up if you want to with Terri at My Friend From Florida.

1.  National Ding-a-Ling Day is observed across the United States each year on December 12.  Ding-a-Lings on this day call the people they haven’t heard from in a while.  It may be an old classmate, co-worker or neighbor from years ago.  Or perhaps a call will go out to the child who used to mow the grass during the summer.  How about that couple who carpooled for soccer. There are all sorts of people in our lives who manage to slip out of our lives who would love to hear the ding-a-ling of a call from you or me.  So tell us who you want to call today!

This is awesome but I am a firm believer that God will put people in AND OUT of my life when they are supposed to be there.  I don't really go looking to find people from my past. In recovery, we do an eighth step which is making amends to those we harmed. In order to do this we search out those people and sincerely apologize and ask if there is anything we can do to right the wrong we did and then we move on. So, after that I don't really search anyone out now. God seems to be really good at moving people together when they need to be and apart when the lessons have been learned. That probably does not make sense to anyone but me...HA! BUT...If you call me, I will answer!!! Hugs!

2.  Each year on the 12th day of December, people across the United States recognize National Poinsettia Day.  I am including this "National Day" too because my neighbor's poinsettia from last year is blooming beside their house!!  Have you ever tried to plant a poinsettia outside?

No, I have not. Me and poinsettias are NOT really friends. They look pretty and every year I get one to keep on my desk at work around Christmas but they are poison to cats so none will ever make it anywhere near my home! Here is my desk poinsettia this year (with all the adorable nieces and nephews in the background)...

3.  Do you believe in Bigfoot?  I do - I love to think that there are many undiscovered life forms out there and not just humans and animals. I also believe in UFO's and aliens!!  As amazing as this Earth and space is; how could we be the only ones?!?!  What size shoe do you wear and do you have trouble shoe shopping? I wear a size 8 1/2 and no; normally I can find my size unless there are only a few pairs left in the store and those are usually 10's or 11's.

4.  What is one thing you refuse to share?I can't think of anything.  If you ask nicely I will share anything!

5.  Are you finding that this Christmas is stressful? Nope! Not at all! I started preparing early since I knew I would be leaving on vacation the week before so I am done and ready to fly out of this cold weather.  I decorated my condo and put lights outside but I skipped the tree this year since I knew I would not be home and I can enjoy my parents tree when I go up there.  The only issue I am having is that my oldest sister and her family can only be at my parents through the weekend and since I fly back home on Saturday; I am only going to be celebrating Christmas with my family on Sunday.  I will miss all the festivities on Friday and Saturday.  Oh well, it is all good! Nothing I can change about the trip now, right?  More or less than last year? About the same.

6.  Tell us something random about your week so far! As I think you all probably already read ... I won another basket raffle! This one is a Google Home! WOWSA! After multiple people suggested buying lottery tickets; I got a few scratch-offs. They were all losers so I guess that is it for luck - HA HA!

I hope everyone has a great rest their week!!! Happy Hump Day!

Do you have poinsettias at home?  Does anyone else do the pickle in the tree thing?? Anyone else wish there was someone you could hire to fill a stocking for an adult that lives alone?? HA HA
