Hodgepodge ~ June 19, 2024

1. It's National Splurge Day...what's something you might splurge on today? What have you splurged on recently? 

Today I am taking my daughter to breakfast at my new favorite breakfast spot & to Target, however no other splurges are planned for today.  However, I would say my most recent splurges have been on dresses!  While none of them have been extremely expensive, I have purchased several this spring.  

2. Do you have a beach bag? What's in it? Is a trip to the beach on your summer bucket list? Do you have a summer bucket list? 

I have a swim bag that I use for trips to the pool.  I have sunscreen for my face, spray sunscreen, towel, and a hat.  

I do have a beach trip planned for later this summer.  Even though I have one daughter home for the summer, I don't have an official summer bucket list.  I do have a few things I would like to do though, like attend an outdoor music concert.

3. What's a song that makes you think of a summer past? What comes to mind when you hear it? What memories does it stir up for you? 

I have a summer beach playlist that I created probably 10 years ago when I went on a cruise.

4. Sushi-yay or nay? Have you actually tried it? If you love it what's your go-to order? 

I have not tried sushi, but I would say nay.  

5. I own a ridiculous amount of  summer dresses! 

10 of these are new this year...with another scheduled to arrive from Amazon today. Dresses are just so much cooler and easier to wear in the summer.

6. Insert your own random thought here.  

After being out of the house for 12 hours yesterday with work, meeting a friend for tea, and volunteering, my daughter and her boyfriend invited me to go have dinner with them.  I usually don't eat that late (8pm), but went to a pizza place and had a no sauce slice with chicken, spinach and cheese.  It was delicious.  And a fun thing is when we got back to the house, I asked them all of these questions above and it was fun to hear their answers!

Have a great Wednesday!

  1. I have never tried sushi either; I just can not get past the textures and don't even like how it feels against my fingers. That is quite the dress collection but when you live in a hot climate you kind of need a good assortment, right?

    1. Yes, it is just easier for me to put on a dress most days...and cooler.

  2. You sure had a busy day! I think it´s great that you didn´t say no to going out with your daughter her bf even though you´d been gone all day. How fun to hear their answers :).

  3. What a great idea to use these as conversations! I was a nay sushi person but try the brown rice veggie roll. My bestie does this and it's so good! I think you might like it.
    Why no sauce on the pizza? I don't like a ton of sauce, to be honest.
    So glad you said YES! It's easy to say no on a long day like that but I bet you are glad you said yes!

    1. I am thankful I said yes! And the pizza actually came with no sauce, so that wasn't a request of mine specifically. However, it tasted really good with all the other flavors.

  6. I enjoy a white pizza sometimes, especially with spinach as a topping. Glad you said yes! I sometimes ask my hubs the questions once I have my answers. I feel like figuring out the music on my phone is beyond me these days. I need to sit down and figure out how to make new playlists. We have Sonos in the house so I don't have to think too hard about that one. Have a great day!

    1. I am not even sure what Sonos is :). Yes, the pizza was a little out of the norm for me, but very good! Hope the rest of your week goes well!
