Hodgepodge A La Mode: Say Yes

Happy Friday, friends...so soon?  While I'm always ready for a little Friday in my life, college boy was home this week on spring break, and it went too fast.  The good news is there's only two months left until he's done with sophomore year and home for the summer!

I'm linking up today with From This Side Of The Pond for Hodgepodge A La Mode - a bunch of fun, random questions.

Best place you've been lately?  Well, boo.  I haven't been anywhere exciting.  Luckily, living here is a pretty great place to be.

What's something you should say yes to today?  Or this week?  Or even this year?  So here's the thing with yes.  For many, many years, I've been a "no" person.  And mostly I think it was justified.  When you're working and raising kids, you have to set limits on your yeses or you will go insane.  But now that the boys are no longer such a big part of my daily to do's, I've started saying yes to things.  Kind of without even thinking it through, which is not how I'm used to operating.  Suddenly, I'm finding myself with all sorts of new opportunities and collaborations, and it's exciting. Stay tuned...

Do you celebrate St. Patrick's Day in any way, shape, or form?  In Western cultures the color green is typically associated with jealousy, nature, good luck, and growth.  What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word 'green'?  On Saturday there will be a corned beef cooking in my crock pot!  Green is such a fresh color, and it makes me think of spring and summer.  When I was younger, we had to wear something green to school on St. Patty's Day or risk getting pinched.  Even now I like to follow that tradition, but I have a hard time finding much green in my closet.  I love this blouse from LiliGal, but I've never bought from them before.  Anyone?

What's a product or service you love so much you'd happily be their spokesperson?  Hmm...Loft is killing it with the spring florals right now.  So pretty.  I'd be very happy to wear all the Loft clothes they wanted to give me.  I'm also somewhat addicted to Jenny Cookies, and tell everyone who will listen how delicious they are.  However, must. stop. eating. Jenny. Cookies.  Not good for the waistline.

March 14th was Pi day.  How are your math skills?  What's the last thing you did that required math of any kind?  And most importantly, do you like pie? What's your favorite kind?  It's too bad that I don't like math, because I'm pretty good at it, and I have to do it every single day for my job.  Blecch.  I also don't like cooked fruit, and all the best pies have fruit in them, right?  I'd rather have a Jenny Cookie.

Insert your own random thought here.  On Monday I had my yearly mammogram, and scheduled a 3D kind.  I didn't notice any difference at the appointment, but the results were in my chart within two hours!  Sure beats the old days of waiting a week or two for a letter to arrive.  I'm so happy to have that over for another year.  Have you scheduled your mammogram?

Happy weekend!  What are your plans?
