April Hodgepodge

Hello dear friends!  April is finally here!  It is also Hodgepodge Day.  I feel that I really opened up today, maybe a little too much. 




1.  In honor of the date... when were you last sent on a 'fool's errand?'

Wikipedia defines "fool's errand" as an attempt to do something that has no chance of success.

I feel like a fool every time I send my book outline to a publisher and get a big fat rejection slip.

I never mentioned it before, but I just finished writing a book based on the life of  the incomparable comedienne, Minnie Pearl, who in my estimation, set the world on fire with her sharp wit.  The working title is called "The Skinny on Minnie"  or "Giving it a Whirl with Minnie Pearl."

When I do sell it, you'll hear me scream "howdeeeeeeee!!"

2.  Peter Rabbit, Bugs Bunny, The Energizer Bunny, Rabbit (Pooh's friend), White Rabbit (of Wonderland fame), or the Trix Rabbit... which of these famous rabbits can you best relate to right now?

Probably the Energizer Bunny.  Between working on my book, writing my upcoming stand-up routine, training for the Senior Olympics, and creating the breakfast of champions every morning for my lucky husband, I am always on the go.  I doubt I'll make the Senior basketball team, due to my short stature, so I'll probably have more time on my hands to do something I've always dreamed of doing.  

I have always wanted to open a cat catering business called 

Kitty Kat Katering.

3.  When did you last find yourself scrambling to get something done?  Explain.

Probably this morning.  I have been taking a class at the community college and today is exam day.  I have been studying my heart out!   The name of the class is:  Learning To Hypnotize Your Pet.

I think I'm going to Ace it!

4.  Last time you were up at the literal crack of dawn?  Why?  Last time you stayed up all night?

I'm up at the crack of dawn every morning to create a breakfast "fit for a king" for the Mister.  This is a photo that I took this morning of the most important meal of the Mister's day.   Tomorrow morning is Bohemian Breakfast Bars and Exotic Omelet day!

Last time I stayed up all night is when I decided to paint the entire inside of the house.  In heels.  Twice.

I told you the Mister was a lucky guy.

5.  Crack a book, crack a bottle, crack a joke, crack an egg... which have you done most recently?

I would definitely have to say crack a joke.  For the past five months I have been working on a stand-up comedy routine that I am set to try out in June at open mic at Sally O'Brien's in Boston.  I'm hoping to knock 'em dead with my arsenal of knock/knock jokes.

6.  What's something I'd find on a bookshelf in your home.  Other than a book, I mean?

This is kind of embarrassing.  We have the Mister's childhood stuffed cat, Olivia Newton John, snuggled in with our treasured art book collection.  The poor guy is still broken up about his kitty.  Whenever "Let's Get Physical" comes on the radio the Mister breaks down into a bucket of tears.

7.  Insert your random thought here. 

Hope your day is filled with fun!
