Wednesday Hodgepodge

From this Side of the Pond
 
 
 
 Hi Friends! It's time to answer Joyce's fun and thoughtful questions!  Let's get to it...
 
 
 
1. The midpoint of summer (believe it or not) is August 7th. Describe a perfect summer day. Have you had one this year? 
 

 
 
Love this question because I feel I just had that on Sunday- Tea- Mass with My Hubby- Chatting with my 16 year old and then a walk on the rail trail together- grilled lunch out on the deck- floating in the pool- blogging- reading, a trip to a local farm with my 11 year old and then decompressing with reading and t.v.- that is as close to perfect as I have ever gotten :)
 
 

2. What's one thing you wish you knew before starting high school? 

 


How to be more social I guess...hard to believe now as I am very outgoing but I was much more withdrawn in high school...it was a very competitive school in a very competitive and wealthy town so I was intimidated...I guess I would be more brave and put myself out there more- nothing to lose back then 

 

 

3. What's something that bothers you if it's not done perfectly? 


 

 In general, it is when people are lazy and don't get things done in a timely manner- I am not a big one for excuses- just get it done already- ha!

 

 

4. What's the most overrated food you're convinced people are just pretending to enjoy? What's a trendy food you actually do enjoy and would say is definitely not overrated? 


 

Hmmm..this is a tough one...I guess anything vegan?  I think people pretend they are good with vegan recipes and dishes...trendy?  Ummm?  Not quite sure...I guess Chipotle?  The kids love Chipotle and Chic Fil A and Shake Shack..I will say I do enjoy an occasional bowl at Chipotle. 

 

5. Wrapping it up this week with five fun this or thats...


 

personal stylist or personal chef? Chef for sure!
dance like nobody's watching or sing like nobody's listening? Dance like nobody's watching
unlimited tacos or free pizza? FREE PIZZA...duh ;)
bookshelf organization-by size or by genre? Genre
ten minutes late or ten minutes early? 10 minutes early- ALWAYS- if you are on time, you are late in my book
 

6. Insert your own random thought here.


 

 Soaking up summer...planning to step away from my computer for a few days this month to get to the beach and spend some extra time with my girls...how are you spending your August?

It does sound like the perfect day for you on Sunday! I like days like that where you do a bit of everything and spend time with all the important people.
hahaha! Yes, I totally agree that people just need to get things done and not to make excuses.
Have a fab time at the beach.

I loved seeing high school Holly! I like what you said about that one; most of us were so awkward and nervous. Good for you on getting away and soaking up the last days of summer! Have a great day, my friend! xoxo

Holly said...

Glad we are on the same page Kim- ha! :)

Holly said...

Thank you my friend XO

I had a similar high school experience. It was huge and I wish I'd put myself out there a little bit more. It wasn't a bad experience for me and I had friends and did well in my classes, but felt intimidated a lot of time when I shouldn't have. Enjoy some beach time with your girls!

Holly said...

Glad you can relate. Thank you Joyce!

Those are the days that stay with you. I love it! Your answer to #3 - yes!! I struggle with this because I want more for some of my family than they seem to want for themselves. Pizza ALL THE WAY!!!!

I love your perfect summer day! And that throwback pic- you look just like that (except your hair!).

Lisa said...

Holly said...
