Sweating to the Hodgepodge

I don't know if the Hodgepodge makes us sweat enough to burn calories (but wouldn't it be nice?) but the temperatures yesterday and today sure are making me sweat. I am totally disgusted that I'm turning on the AC at the end of November. I've never disliked hot weather more than I do right now. 

Thankfully, the Hodgepodge is here and causes nothing but a good time! So, pull up your digital device and join in the fun! 

1. Give us three rhyming words that say something about your Thanksgiving holiday (or your most recent holiday gathering if you didn't celebrate Thanksgiving). 

peace- no talk of politics.
decrease- because our numbers were low this year, only 8.
centerpiece- because I thought my centerpiece (if you can call it that) looked like a table in a thrift store and everyone thought that was funny. 

2. When did you last say, 'the more the merrier'? I've said it twice in the last couple of weeks. Did you mean it? The first time, I did mean it. The second time, I was being sarcastic. 

3. What's one piece of advice you'd give someone who is your same age? When in doubt, just remember what your grandmother said. About everything. 

4. You're ordering a veggie plate, what four veggies are on it? Is it cooked or raw? If it's raw, carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers, and maybe some celery. If it's cooked--all other veggies. :) 

5. Shop til you drop! Did you? Nope. Have you ever? Yep. Will you between now and Christmas? Nope. I'm trying to shift our focus during the holidays this year. We'll see how it goes. And Baby M? Her parents want the money we would have spent to go into her savings account. Which is a good idea but grandma and aunties are buying her a couple of gifts. Because she needs to see that Santa came for her first Christmas. Yeah, some things are hard to refocus during the holidays. 

6. What's your favorite chair in your house, and why is it a favorite? The plaid one. It's old and comfy. It really needs to be reupholstered or replaced. But I just can't. It's a great chair. 

7. Share an early memory of faith, religion, or spirituality. I remember going to church with my grandparents every Sunday. I loved spending time with them and was lucky enough to live within 30 minutes so I went nearly every weekend. We sat on the same pew every Sunday and had Sunday dinner afterward. I loved sitting in that church, on that pew with my grandparents. I can still hear my grandmother singing hymns while she worked in the kitchen. 

8. Insert your own random thought here. Here you go:

Have a great rest of the week, y'all!
