Hi my blog friends! I am a little sporadic with my blogging this week and next week due to so much going on in life, but I am linking up today with two of my favorites, Joyce and Jenn for Hodgepodge and Currently!
1. Besides Thanksgiving, something on your November calendar you're looking forward to?
My birthday is next Tuesday, 11/11! I am also looking forward to my college student coming home this month. I won't see my older daughter for the holiday.
2. Dictionary.com's word of the year is '6-7'. Huh?
Is it even a word??? I had to consult the internet to find out it's meaning because apparently I'm old and this particular slang is not part of my vocabulary. Is it part of yours? According to the article I read, it's a viral term, more of an inside joke with an unclear meaning driven by social media.
What do you think?
Dictionary. com says it's selection each year is a 'linguistic time capsule reflecting social trends and events, but they also admitted to being confused by '6-7'. Some say it means so-so and is sometimes accompanied by the up and down hand motion we associate with the phrase so-so.
What word do you think would have made a better choice?
I think it is an odd choice, but it is definitely a saying among youth. I am not sure what word I have chosen instead.
3. What's a food, trend, activity, or thing people love but you think is just so-so?
Some of the health crazes that are out there are so-so to me. It's hard for me to think of things that are so-so. It seems I either like or don't like a trend!
4. Are you a tea drinker? Hot or cold? How do you like yours and at what time of day? Do you like flavored teas or teas billed as calming, energizing, healing, etc?
I enjoy hot and cold tea! I will drink a hot tea anytime of the day. If I drink it at night, I will drink a sleepytime tea. I drink sweet tea anytime of the day, but I drink tea sweetened with stevia. I just discovered a London fog tea and it is delicious. I like it with sugar free vanilla and almond milk.
5. The November Hodgepodge has always included a weekly gratitude question. Here's the question for today-what are three things that make your heart sing?
A call from my girls
A hug from my greats
Laughing with friends
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Now a little Currently.....
Loving
I am loving this fall weather! I love sitting outside around my fire pit and looking at my back yard. I also love this new railing that was just added!
Looking forward to
Celebrating my birthday next week with friends!
I am not sure what I am going to do during the day, but I have a party that night with friends.
Smelling
I am currently smelling a fire outside on my back porch.
Preparing for
I am preparing for a move soon! I am knee deep in trying to sell a house, doing some more repairs and packing. I will keep you posted, but this is what I am preparing for and what is keeping me busier these past few weeks.
Thankful for
I am thankful for nice weather. I thankful for anytime I have with friends. I am thankful for good music to entertain me when I am alone. I am thankful for internet and my phone (just being real). I am thankful for my parents and my siblings. I am thankful for my extended family, including all those precious greats. Of course, I am extremely thankful for my daughters who are my lifeline in this world. I am thankful for people rallying around me, especially during this transition time. I am thankful to be single, although I do miss having someone to do simple things with quite often. I am thankful for my church. I am thankful for Jesus, who loves me and gives me hope when I have none left in the lonely moments.
I am also thankful for this blog community and my real life friends I have met through this! Y'all are the best!
Hugs and have a good day!
