the Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

Happy Wednesday, friends! It's one of my favorite days of the week: hodgepodge day! I love the questions that Joyce always comes up with. I'll jump in!

1. What was your after school routine when you were a kid? I don't remember exactly, but I feel like I always had a snack pretty quickly after I'd get home. Mom would make dinner every single night, and while she was doing that I would sometimes help by making the cornbread; if that wasn't the case, I'd do my homework in my room while she cooked. Mom was (is still) so great at wanting to know about my day, and I have such great memories of sitting at the kitchen table with her talking about everything. 

2. January 26 is National Green Juice day. Do you juice (as in, do you make your own)? Do you do the green juices? What's your favorite kind of juice (home blended or store bought)? I don't juice my own, but I've had it before and enjoyed whatever brand it was that I had. It's one I bought from Walmart; I know it had spinach, kale, and some type of fruit in it. I don't drink juice often at all, because I have a weird thing about not drinking calories; that being said, if I do drink some, I like cranberry juice.

3. What's something trivial about which you have a strong opinion? There is no right or wrong to load the dishwasher. Any way it's done is the right way, especially if you're not doing it yourself!  

4. What do you need more of in your life? What do you need less of in your life? I need more kids in my life; I need more fun things to do, more laughter, more reasons to get out of my house. I need less dragons in my life, as in the ones that keep flying over me. 

As in this image that Marilyn posted last week. Stupid dragons!

5. Give us three adjectives to describe your January. The three that I'm choosing are daunting, wintry, and productive. It's been daunting because I had something hard this month that took place back on the 7th; I've been waiting on a new bomb to drop (or a new dragon to fly over my house) everyday since. It's been wintry, because we've had frigid temperatures, but I enjoyed all of this! I breathe easier in the winter months, so I love it when it's cold. I also love being able to wear sweaters and cozy things. 

I love to wear a hoodie sweatshirt! It's been a productive month, because I've accomplished a lot in my home. I feel very proud of myself for this! 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

This first song is one of my favorite songs right now; it's The Jesus Way by Phil Wickham. 

And this one below is Livin' on a Prayer by Bon Jovi. I've been listening to Bon Jovi while I've been busy doing projects in my house! Anything it takes to get me motivated, right? 🤣

Thanks for reading my blog today, friends! I can't wait to read your answers to these prompts. I'll see you back here tomorrow for a double post day! Love to all!

P.S. The Currently link party will happen on Wednesday, February 5th. The prompts for next month are things we're currently loving, anticipating, remembering, sharing, and wish-listing. I hope you make plans to join us next week!
