A Chocolate Kind of Hodgepodge

1.  I read here a list of 13 things you should do in June.  I'm paraphrasing a little but basically...

Go on a road trip with your best friend, pick fresh strawberries, host a garden party, take a morning run, treat yourself to a flower bouquet, spend a whole day hiking, discover a new coffee shop, try a new ice cream flavor, read at least one book, visit a farmer's market, make a swing for your home, and visit a new city.

Which thing on the list do you most want to do?  Of activities mentioned, which one holds the least appeal.  How many on the list will you attempt in June?   What's one thing you'd add to the list?

Of all the things mentioned, I would most want to host a garden party.  I need to make sure the Chef is on board before the invites go out, though.  I don't think my chicken salad salmonella would go over big.
   

The least appealing to me is to go on an all day hike.

Now that my hydrangeas are starting to bloom, it's just a matter of time before I can turn my house into hydrangea heaven.  Chow tells me he already watered this one. 

By the way... I just listened to the first hour of this book on my walk and it is really good.  It is about a recluse who lives in a beautiful estate in Connecticut and also happens to be a very popular Mommy blogger.  There's one catch though - she's not a Mommy.

I'm beginning this one tonight.

I just started two new books yesterday - one Audible and one Kindle.

I strolled around a fabulous farmer's market in Boston last week.

I am planning a trip to a new city (to me) within the next couple of weeks.

The World on a Platter

The thing I would add to this list is to enjoy a fabulous meal al fresco.  

2.  What's something you could do today to feel more peaceful?

I go to Mass when I need to feel peaceful.

3.  June 7th is National Chocolate Ice Cream Day.  Are you a fan?  Swiss mocha rocky road, Chocolate chocolate chip, peanut butter and chocolate, or a dish of plain chocolate... what's your pleasure?

I wish all the questions were this easy.

4.  If you came with a warning what would it say?

5 . What's the most interesting website you've visited in the last week?

My girls always send me funny Instagrams to follow.  I have to admit, Talkthirytome can be off color, but never fails to make me chuckle.

6.  Spring, summer, autumn, winter... which season are you?  Why?

Summer... because the Mister thinks I'm hot.

7. "You lose sight of things... 

and when you travel, everything balances out." - Daranna Gidel

Would you agree with that sentiment?  

Explain why or why not.

That depends...

I think that everything balances out a lot better here...

than here.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.

Hey Hodgepodgers...

Our buddy, Judy, from Cranberry Morning had hip surgery this week.  I haven't seen any updates but thought it would be nice if we all stopped by her blog to say hello.


What's your favorite website?

Until next time...
