Wednesday Hodgepodge

 


 If you want to join in the fun - Answer these questions on your own blog, then back here tomorrow to add your link to the party. Thanks to Janice for hosting these Hodgepodges every Wednesday. 



1. What surprises you the most about people? 

That they (and I include myself) are still using Blogger - 

Gosh, this platform drives me up a wall but I have tried WordPress and was not satisfied with it. Let's face it, Blogger is easy and it used to be good. For the most part, it is user-friendly compared to other platforms but I suspect Blogger might be easing us out. 


2. Would you rather have a chauffeur, nanny, gardener, maid, personal shopper or cook? Tell us why that one? 

I'd rather have a Maid that cooks. 


3. May 18th is National Notebook Day. No idea what that means but let's run with it anyway. What's something you currently keep in a notebook? 



I like notebooks - pretty ones and always grab one if they are to my liking. I don't spend a lot - I buy them at the 99-cent store or Dollar Tree. 



I bought about 6 of these - at the 99-cent store. Each one was a different Fruit of the Spirit. More like a journal, I use them for prayer requests. 




Now this one was too cute to pass up - It's blank right now. 



Have you seen the movie The Notebook? On a scale of 1-5, how does it rate? (5=a favorite, can watch and re-watch and re-watch again) 

No, I've never heard of it. 


4. Do you like mushrooms? The last dish you made or ate that had mushrooms on the ingredient list? Your favorite dish that calls for mushrooms? 

I like mushrooms in some recipes. Chicken Marsala and caramelized onions and mushrooms over a sizzling grilled steak. 


5. What would you say is the most annoying thing people do in public? 

Don't pick up after their dog

Road Rage

Talking on their cell phone LOUD where everyone in the restaurant can hear them. 





6. Insert your own random thought here. 

This is the second time I answered these questions and my answers were much better. I had it scheduled to go - and then went back to upload the notebook photos and I couldn't find it. 

Whoosh - it's gone.

  1. I also love notebooks, and the ones you have are too cute! I wish our € stores (the equivalent to your 0.99c stores) carry those christian notebooks.
    And I hope Blogger doesn't ease us out!

    2. I have looked, but the cute ones aren't there!
      :P

  2. I agree with the people talking on cell phones! Very annoying! Road rage is just scary to me! I never engage with other drivers while driving, unless I'm waving thanks to someone letting me turn or merge into their lane!

    1. Road rage scares me especially these days.

  3. I hate when people don't pick up after their dogs. I work in a church and one of our staff just stepped out back to look at a co-worker's car and stepped in dog poop. How rude that someone would let their dog poop where it is obvious people will be walking!!

    1. That's awful - it's been a long time since I stepped in dog poo - I'd be very mad. I hated cleaning them off my little kids shoes when we would go to the park. I eventually got good at scanning the lawn area for any dog deposits so I could steer them away. Not fun having to clean that off shoes.

  4. I can agree with all your answers. Sorry about blogger issues. I've been hearing complaints from lots of folks. Hope the rest of your week goes well.

  5. Our dollar store has things priced at $1.25 but that's still a bargain for journals. :)

    1. yeah my Dollar Tree is also $1.25 but we have a 99 cent store as well - they have some areas where it is over .99 but like you said, they are still a good deal.

  6. It seems all the Hodgepodgers like notebooks : ) I feel like we shouldn't have to remind grown adults to pick up after their pets, but sadly we do. I hope you have a nice rest of the week!

    1. Even at the dog park - there are signs all over, saying to pick up after your dog and they don't. It's unhealthy and nasty.

  7. I like notebooks and journals too, and, like you, I get most of mine at Dollar Tree. :-)

  8. I don't like rude and judgmental people, I also don't like mushrooms or drunk people, I wouldn't mine a garner because I suck at it. I don't use a notebook but I do jot things down on a notepad

  9. Yes, I agree about the annoying habits you listed in #5. I do not understand why people think it's okay to litter. Yuck.

  10. I think I need to check out a local Dollar Tree Store. Love your notebooks. I really hope they don't do away with Blogger!

  11. Hee hee..yes, I use blogger too. I've thought of switching, but just have no desire to. Pretty journals. I'm a sucker for a pretty cover.

  12. I hope Blogger never breaks down completely. I've written my whole life in here, and I don't save them like I used to. I need to save some of the more important ones before something happens to them. I enjoyed your post and your answers. I used to keep handwritten journals, but my handwriting is so bad now and it is such an effort for me to write, so I have stopped doing so...and that is why my life's story is written here in blogger. I can type much faster than I can write. My husband uses Wordpress for a website, but he is always having issues. It's much too complicated for me. I hope you are having a good day today (Saturday). Take care and God bless you always.
