A Sweet Sports Hodgepodge

Welcome to another week's post of the Wednesday Hodgepodge meme, which I enjoy taking part in.  Joyce asks the questions, and we answer.

Join us HERE to see how others answered these questions.

1. The Winter Olympics kick off on Friday, February 6th...on a scale of 1-10 how excited are you? (1= eh and 10=watching every event all day every day). What's your favorite Winter Olympic sporting event?

 

Watching the Olympic games is not nearly as exciting as seeing the new Ralph Lauren uniform designs.  This year is a huge hit as far as I'm concerned.  I love the coat and pants set as well as the sweater.  The puffy jacket is simple with all the necessary adornment, which is as it should be.  So, my answer would be a 4.

My favorite part is the opening ceremony and some of the ski jumps.  I will not be watching around the clock.

2. In other sporting news, the Superbowl (American football's championship game) will be played on Sunday, February 8th. So tell us... what's your superpower?

Unlike the Olympics, I do get excited about the Superbowl and all the games leading up to it.  And just so you know, I'm pulling for the Patriots.  A bit of trivia:  Robert Spillane, #14 and linebacker for the Patriots, was a college football teammate of our grandson's.  It is so exciting to see how he has developed and is making a Superbowl name for himself.   He is the grandson of 1953 Heisman Trophy winner and College Football Hall of Famer Johnny Lattner.

Now, my superpower?  I'm not sure I have one in the context of the question.  Jesus Christ living in me is my superpower, and without Him, I am nothing.  He, however, enables me to be an encourager to others, a prayer warrior, and a student of the Bible - ever learning, a good housekeeper, wife, and grandmother.  He has given me the desire and ability to write, decorate, and a creative bent.

3. Are you a romantic? 

No, not really, although I do appreciate romance.

4. Blue cheese-yay or nay? How about feta? If you said yes to one or both, what's a dish you like that calls for one of these?

Nay to blue cheese, yay to feta!

5. What's more important - doing what you love or loving what you do?

I fail to see the difference.  If one is doing what they love, then they love doing it.

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

We finally got the ice cleared from the left side of our driveway yesterday, ten days after the Texas ice and snow storm of 2026.  Now, Hubby can use his own vehicle.  This week's high will be near 80 degrees.  That is an 80-degree jump from a few days ago.  Only in Texas!

While we couldn't leave our garage or open our front door, we decided to binge the new Netflix 2005 series, "The Closer."  Needless to say, we are still working our way through the 7 seasons by allowing ourselves only a few episodes each day.  That's hard to do because we are really enjoying the plots and characters.  I understand this series led into the more recent "Major Crimes."
