A Colorful Hodgepodge

Hello, dear friends!  Happy Hodgepodge Day!  Hope that you are enjoying your week.  All is well here.  Today I am taking my bff, Anne out for lunch for her birthday.  We are planning on hitting the big city.

1.  Share one thing that really makes your day.

It makes my day when I can finally fit into my "fat jeans" again.

Note to self:  have jaws wired from Thanksgiving to New Years.

2.  Lots of these kinds of lists out there, but one found here says the most colorful places on earth are:

Vernazza, Cinque Terre, Italy-Burano, Italy -Havana, Cuba - Rio de Janiero, Brazil, Chefchauen, Morocco, Balat, Istanbul, Turkey - -Menton, France - Jodhpur, India - LaBaca, Buenos Aires, Argentina - Guanajuato, Mexico - Capetown, South Africa - Valparaiso, Chile - Wroclaw, Poland - San Francisco, California - and Pelourhino, Salvador, Brazil.

Of those listed, which would you most like to see up close and in person?  Of all the places you've traveled in your own life, what would you say is the most colorful?

I would like to visit Menton, France during their Lemon Festival.

I would have to say Nantucket is pretty colorful during the summer.

3.  "Everything you want is on the other side of fear."  Jack Canfield.

In general, would you agree or disagree with this statement?  Why?

I agree one hundred percent with this statement.  
Fear can paralyze you. 

4.  Imagine you're stranded on a desert island and dessert appears... what do you hope it is?  Do you ever struggle to remember which spelling is desert and which is dessert?

Anyone who has read my blog for awhile knows that Sista and I take the subject of deserts desserts very seriously.  If I were on a dessert desert island, I would want a hot fudge brownie sundae delivered to my hut.  Better include a roll of paper towels because things could get messy.

  

5.  What song almost always makes you cry?

I could never listen to the song Landslide without tearing up.  The first time I saw this commercial I went into such a state I thought the Mister was going to call 9-1-1.  

6.  January is National Soup month.  Everything from soup to nuts, in the soup, thick as pea soup, souped up... which saying most recently applies to your life in some way?  Explain.

Last weekend was warm and poured all weekend.  My Mother used to call those days pea soup kind of days.

7.  Write a two-word note to your younger self.  
What does it say?

or

Start Exercising!

or

Use Sunscreen!

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

This is an update on my paperwhites which I planted the second week of November.  Hopefully, they'll make an appearance by Easter!

What two-word note would you write to your younger self?



Until next time...
