Wednesday Hodgepodge.

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. Marilyn texted me something that inspired this question, so thank you Marilyn! Of the following sayings, typically associated with the (American) southern way of speaking, which do you most relate to right now? Explain.

Bless your heart~too big for yer britches~ madder than a wet hen~you’re preachin’ to the choir~knee high to a grasshopper~oh my stars.
Bless your heart would be the one I can most relate to out of the options. I have said that phrase before for sure. The other sayings not so much, but I have heard of people saying oh my stars before.

2. The Hodgepodge lands on (US) Veterans Day this year. Are you a veteran? Have a family member who’s a veteran? If you answered yes, tell us something about them. Will you do anything to mark the day in some special way?
I am not a veteran. My grandpa was a veteran, he has been passed away for awhile now but he was in the Navy and loved talking about all the stories of his time in the military. I do not do anything to mark the day at all, just spend some time thinking about all the veterans and what they went through for our country.

3. Is breakfast for dinner a stroke of genius or a sign of total household collapse? Is breakfast for dinner a regular thing at your house? Are all family members on board?
Breakfast for dinner is a stroke of genius! We will occasionally have breakfast for dinner in our household, and the kids are usually a fan of it since we don’t do it too often. I always feel like breakfast items aren’t very filling, unless it’s a big Easter brunch type thing.

4. How do you see the world?
I see the world as being lucky to live in a free country. Despite what might be going on with politics, I always feel lucky that I have a roof over my head, food on the table, a family that loves me, and the freedom to make the choices I want for my life.

5. And this week’s gratitude question – what’s something about your surroundings (home, neighborhood, city) you’re grateful for?
I am grateful for the neighborhood we live in. We have great neighbors, and despite living on the busy part of the neighborhood the kids love to be outside. They have made friends with other kids, some don’t go to the same school, but still hangout together. I love it!

6. Insert your random thought here.
I am ready for November to be over, and December to get here. I’m excited to start all the holiday fun things!
