An Abundant Hodgepodge

Hello, dear friends.  My #1 tells me I talk about the weather too much, but I can't help bragging about the last few beautiful days.  This Fall has been a stunner.  You know the drill.  If it's Wednesday, it's time for Hodgepodge.

1.  Besides Thanksgiving, something you're looking forward to on your November calendar?

My best college buddy, Kate the Great, is coming for a visit this weekend and I couldn't be more excited.  I have all sorts of fun things planned - everything from drunk dialing to ding-dong-ditching.  Lucky for us, the Mister will be waiting in the wings with bail money.

2.  If I gave you a thank you card right now who would you send it to and why?

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for inventing Spanx.  At this stage of the game, I am too old to remember to hold in my tummy.

Love,

Katie

  
P.S. Can you work on inventing something to camouflage a double chin? 

3.  Of the breads listed, which one is your favorite... bagel, cinnamon, sourdough, garlic, banana, biscuit, pita, naan, or plain old white bread?

I would choose plain old white bread so that I could pile on the butter, sugar, and cinnamon, just like I used to do at my Grandma's.

4.  What is something you have in abundance?  Is that a good thing?

Dishware.

  The Mister may not agree, but I think it's a very good thing.

You never know when 60 people might drop by unexpectedly for dinner.

5.  November 5th is National Love your Red Hair Day.  Are there any redheads in your family?  Who's your favorite redhead?

My #2 was a redhead for the first week of her life.  Her hair fell out and came in light brown.  I found a way to forgive her.

My favorite redhead would have to be that devilish Prince Harry.  

Maybe he could marry #2 and then I could have some royal grand redheads. With a better attitude than these three, I hope. 

6.  The travel website Busbud recently calculated the most Instagrammed spot in every state.  Go here to see what made the list where you live.  Are you happy with your state's #1?  If not, what do you think should be the most photographed spot in your state?  Have you snapped a photo there? 

Fenway Park is the most instagrammed spot in Massachusetts.  I am very happy with that spot because I think that it epitomizes the spirit and strength of the people of Massachusetts.  No, I've never been there because I hear there is no shopping.

7.  I'm going to try to have something related to gratitude in this spot each week during the month of November.  Here's this week's question -

What's something you've learned about yourself this year that you are grateful for?

I learned that if I could make it through last winter without losing my sanity, I can make it through anything.  I'm grateful.  Kind of.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

Until next time...
