Hodgepodge On Pitch

Hello, dear friends.  I hope that all is well in your world.  It is in mine because Hodgepodge is back!  Joyce from The Other Side of the Pond is back in the driver's seat and writing all the thoughtful questions after being on hiatus for a couple of years. Hodgepodge has actually been back for several weeks now, but I kept getting the days of the week mixed up. 

It is Wednesday, isn't it?

1.   In Monday’s post, I mentioned I would incorporate the word I was given for letter K into this week’s questions. That word was karaoke. 

On a scale of 1-10, how excited would you be to find out there was karaoke happening at your next gathering/outing with friends?

 10=gimme that microphone!, and 1=I suddenly remembered there’s somewhere else I need to be. 

Have you ever actually done karaoke? If you had to perform karaoke, what would be your ‘go-to’song?

I was born to karaoke!
Ever since I was little, I would use a hairbrush as my mic and sing my heart out in front of the mirror.

I wasn't too good at remembering the words, and the tune was a bit pitchy at times, but I thought I sounded great.

Now all my concerts are held in the car and the shower.

My go-to song?
Now and forever...
I Will Survive. 

2. How do you listen to music these days? 

Favorite app or do you listen the old fashioned 

way? 

Do you have music playing often in your home? 

Is there still a CD player in your car?

We have Sonos speakers all over the house.

I play Pandora all day long.
I also have the TV on, but the sound is turned off.
That way, I can turn the volume up every 20 minutes for BREAKING NEWS!

No, there's no CD player in my car.

There's not one in the Mister's either.

3. The HP lands on US tax day this year. Or what used to be tax day before everything including filing your taxes was canceled, delayed, postponed or extended. FYI- filing your taxes has not been canceled, only delayed for a bit.

Besides staying away from anyone and everyone, what have you found taxing lately?

Pandemics and hypochondria do not mix well.
It seems that at least once a day, another report is released naming a new symptom of the virus.

One of the most recent symptoms is the loss of smell.
I spend a large portion of my day walking around the house sniffing objects and doggies.

Another indication is the loss of taste.
The rest of the day, I can be found testing my taste buds. 

4. You’re without power so no oven, and you can’t open your frig or freezer in order to keep what’s in there from spoiling. And you don’t have access to take out. What will you make us for dinner?

No dishwasher either.
Bring your own finger.

5.  I’ve seen this exercise going around Facebook and thought it would be a good one to include in the HP...what are five things everybody seems to love and go crazy for that you personally don’t care for?

Group texts!!

I tried reading this on Kindle, and I even listened to it on Audible and still couldn't get past page 50.

My girls loved this show.
I just don't get it.

Thongs!

Facial hair?!?

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

Thanks KDB, for introducing me to my new favorite Instagrammer.

Be well.

Until next time...
