I’m joining Joyce for this week’s Wednesday Hodgepodge! Each week she posts questions to answer and share with others. It’s a fun little prompt, and I am glad to be participating.
1. Besides Thanksgiving, something on your November calendar you’re looking forward to? Celebrating Hadley turning eleven, and planning her sleepover!
2. Dictionary.com’s word of the year is ‘6-7’. Huh? My first thought was what the hell? The whole 6-7 thing is annoying, and I don’t get it. Certainly, don’t get how it’s the word of the year when it’s two numbers!
Is it even a word??? I had to consult the internet to find out its meaning because apparently, I’m old and this particular slang is not part of my vocabulary. Is it part of yours? According to the article I read, it’s a viral term, more of an inside joke with an unclear meaning driven by social media.
What do you think?
Dictionary. com says it’s selection each year is a ‘linguistic time capsule reflecting social trends and events, but they also admitted to being confused by ‘6-7’. Some say it means so-so and is sometimes accompanied by the up and down hand motion we associate with the phrase so-so.
What word do you think would have made a better choice? Maybe demure? I don’t know, don’t really care that much but anything is better than two numbers. Just a dumb word.
3. What’s a food, trend, activity, or thing people love but you think is just so-so? Avocado toast! I am by no means a foodie person, but I don’t like avocados unless it’s in a smoothie. So avocados on toast sounds gross to me, and I always hear people ordering it.
4. Are you a tea drinker? Hot or cold? How do you like yours and at what time of day? Do you like flavored teas or teas billed as calming, energizing, healing, etc.? I like a chai tea latte. I don’t like tea solo. I like both hot or cold chai tea’s. I love trying out different chai’s.
5. The November Hodgepodge has always included a weekly gratitude question. Here’s the question for today – what are three things that make your heart sing? Family. The beach. Watching my kids grow up.
6. Insert your own random thought here. I can’t wait for Thanksgiving this year!
I hear ya on avocado toast – sounds gross to me too so I don’t understand why people think of it as such a delicacy. Enjoyed reading your other answers too. Hope you’re having a great week!
I do like avocado toast but need the toast more on the well done side so it’s not soggy. Happy birthday to your daughter! Planning my girls parties was always so much fun. Have a great day!
I hope Hadley has a wonderful birthday!
Ahh! I totally agree about avocado toast! I’ve had it once and it’s just not for me.
