Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. Are you currently operating at 100% capacity? If not, what % are you? What's keeping you there?

I'm probably operating at about 90% most of the time.  I was very sick and in the hospital for a month in the fall, and while I'm back to work and doing well, there are still a lot of times when I have to deal with some residual effects of what happened.  


2.  Have you done your taxes? Planned/booked a summer holiday? Thought about or started your 'spring cleaning'? Besides what's listed here, tell us one task that needs doing before spring rolls around.

I've got to sit down at some point this weekend and get my taxes done, but it won't be Saturday because I have my sister's wedding shower!  She's getting married in just a few weeks.  I don't know that I'm going to take a summer holiday, even though I would love to spend a few days at the beach.  And as far as spring cleaning, I always need to do a little of that!  I'd like to finish up my new closet space while I'm off on spring break at the end of the month.


3. What's a favorite food from your part of the country?


I don't know that the Midwest is really known for its fine cuisine.  On top of that, I have pretty simple taste.  There's a restaurant in my area that's famous for its potato skins, and sometimes I do have dreams about them.  So, maybe that?  


4. This isn't a leap year, but let's run with it anyway...look before you leap, a leap of faith, grow by leaps and bounds, leap to conclusions, leap at the opportunity...which phrase might best be applied to your life currently (or recently)? Explain.


I'm all about the leap of faith right now.  I'm directing a pretty ambitious musical this spring, along with all of my other pursuits and I'm really just believing that it's all going to fall into place.  


5. As the month draws to a close list five fun and/or fabulous things (large or small) you noticed or experienced in February.


  • The nieces are always fun and fabulous.
  • I successfully organized Senior Night (with a lot of help).
  • I introduced my music class to That Thing You Do (highly underrated movie).
  • We had a fun field trip day last Friday, even if the show we saw wasn't that great.
  • I accidentally fixed my flooded basement on Sunday.  (The pump had stalled.)


6. Insert your own random thought here.

It feels like February was a complete whirlwind!  It feels like the rest of the school year is a very fast downward slide from here.
