I Am Dreaming of a White Hodge Podge....NOT!

Welcome to the weekly Wednesday Hodgepodge. Nobody has anything else they should be doing today, do they? So why not join the party here? As a reminder the Hodgepodge will be on Christmas vacation next week, so no questions/answers on Dec 23/24th. We'll be back to ring in the new year together the week after, December 30/31.  If you want to read everyone's answers or participate then jump over to Joyce's blog and check it out.

Here we go-

1. Time magazine has selected The Ebola Fighters as their person of the year for 2014. Do you agree, and if so who do you think is a close second? If you disagree with their choice, who do you think should have been chosen?  I am glad it is at least someone/some group that has made a positive impact on the world.

2. This question comes to you courtesy of Susan who blogs over at Stew Mama Says. She knows we have a wedding happening any minute now and she asks, "What's your favorite something old? Something new? Something borrowed? Something blue in your home? Be sure you hop over and say hi to Susan today!  Something old? My grandfather's Tater Bug mandolin.  Something new? My 2014 monogramed ornament that Miss Wendy made for me.  Something borrowed? An Amish Christmas book borrowed from Miss Jane.  Something blue? The blue candle Renee gave me for my birthday.

3. Fudge-yay or nay? Your favorite flavor? Do you make it yourself? With nuts or without?
Not a huge fan of fudge....I like fudge, but don't love it. It is way too rich. I enjoy a sliver and that's enough. My favorite flavor is just chocolate and walnuts and preferably from Mackinaw Island.   

4. December 17th is Wright Brothers Day, commemorating the first successful flights made by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. How old were you when you made your first flight? Do you like to fly? Have you ever been to Kitty Hawk or other parts of the North Carolina Outer Banks?  I flew to see my grandparents when I was 9.  I actually got wings from the stewardess for this flight.  I like to fly...prefer to drive so I can see more.  I have been to Kitty Hawk and loved it.  

5. Do the people in your family tend to follow a particular career path, and if so what's the path?

Most of my family are in some form of the medical profession.  There are a few of us who teach.....but no one really has followed any particular career path.

6. What is one thing you absolutely, positively must accomplish today?  Make sure all my semester exams are graded and entered into my gradebook.
7. This Christmas I hope______________________________________.  I have to agree with Joyce on this one.  All is calm. All is bright.  

8. Insert your own random thought here.  Are you finished shopping?  Remember there is just one week until Christmas.
