Wednesday Hodgepodge

 

 
 
 
Hi Friends!  I am joining Joyce for her weekly fun...let's answer her entertaining questions...
 
 
 
1. I saw a meme on Instagram that went like this-'The movie Dirty Dancing came out in 1987 and was set in 1963, so if remade in 2026 it would be set in 2002. Now I need a little lie down in a dark room for a while." 

Time is crazy isn't it? So...what were you up to in the year 2002? 

 


I was going through a challenging time in my life...a divorce...a hard time at work...lots of pressure and change...not one of my favorite years for sure...so let's focus on Dirty Dancing :)

 

 

2. "Me? I'm scared of everything..." What's something that scares you that you'd like to try anyway? 

 

 

Me per ChatGPT when I eventually get on a paddle board ;)

 

Paddle Boarding in the ocean...I am scared because I do not think I have the core strength to handle it...it looks so beautiful and relaxing and I would probably be huffing and puffing...I would also love to try surfing...again, I would probably slip off my board and whack my head but a girl can dream!

 

3. Watermelon-yay or nay? Which melon is your favorite-watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew. Of the watermelon food/beverages listed which would you say yes to...

watermelon salsa~watermelon feta salad~watermelon sorbet~
a watermelon Jolly Rancher~a watermelon margarita 
 

 LOVE watermelon...yay!  Watermelon then Honeydew then Cantaloupe...I would say yes to all watermelon items listed above but watermelon salsa would be my fave.

 

The Pioneer Woman's Watermelon Pico de Gallo is a fave.  Check out this recipe that I shared HERE.  It's like watermelon salsa- delish!

 

4. August 12th is National Middle Child Day. Are you a middle child? If not, where do you fall in the birth order in your family of origin? Do you think this has influenced your personality? Elaborate. 

 


 

 I am not.  I am the oldest and my personality fits me to a tee when it comes to birth order.  I studied a lot about birth order when I started dating Rob so I could understand his kids- especially his middle child who completely fits that mold- it is too funny!

 

 

 

5. Would you rather talk to everyone at a crowded party for a short time, or have a significant conversation with two people? Explain. 

 


 

 I would like to talk to everyone...I am a people person...I love people and want to talk to as many people as possible.

 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

 

 I got nothin'...ha!
