Let's Look/Hodgepodge ~ July 10, 2024

Such fun link ups today with Let's Look talking about podcasts and shows we binge and the fun weekly Hodgepodge!

First, I will mention a few shows I have binged.  Some, I wouldn't technically called binged, but I have watched all the episodes at least once.

The Office, Friends, Seinfeld, Modern Family, Parks and Recreation, Heart of Dixie, Virgin River, The Bear, White Lotus, Emily in Paris...and probably others I am forgetting!

I am a podcast fan and often add/delete podcasts on my list.  Some are more on a personal level, so I am not sharing those here, but I still have plenty I will share! Some of these podcasts are not updated weekly.  Even with this long list, plus a few others, I don't listen to every episode as some topics some weeks don't really relate to my season of life.

1. Do you feel older or younger than your age? Elaborate. 

I feel younger in my mind than 53! However, there are a few times lately I feel my age physically. I didn't have children until I was I was 30.  I have been told I look younger for most of my life due to being short and also good genes.  I appreciate the compliment much more now that I am in my 50's!  

       2. What's one thing you should toss right now, but just can't? 

I have some pictures with a few other momentos, but it is hard to toss. I am in the midst of trying to go through every cabinet/drawer in the house so I have been tossing a lot of little things.  It is hard to toss electrical cords, old cards, and other random things, but I am trying to do better to throw away old papers. For example, I threw away this Yellow Pages!  Believe it or not, it was just 2 years old.

                     3. Have you visited many of the 63 National Parks in the US of A? You'll find a list here. Do you have a favorite? What National Park that you haven't seen do you most want to see? 

I have been to about 10 of the National Parks.  The park I haven't seen that I would like to see is the Grand Canyon.  My favorite is Glacier National Park in Montana because I got married there & also went back to visit 20 years later. It is beautiful.

 4. How often do you get take out? What's your favorite? 

I rarely get take out.  If I do, it is from our local pizza place.  I either eat at home or at a restaurant, but I have never had a food delivery, other than pizza.

                 5. Do you have many (or any) subscriptions? Not necessarily magazines, but thinking more along the lines of boxes or products that companies offer, and you can sign up to receive on a regular basis. Could be weekly, monthly, quarterly, even daily. Tell us about them.

I subscribe to Southern Living and I get an AARP magazine. I don't have any box subscriptions, but I do have a few rotating subscribe and save items through Amazon.

 6. Insert your own random thought here. 

This meme just made me laugh out loud this week! And Lord knows, a laugh a is good for the soul!

Have a good day!
