Love Is In The Hodgepodge

Happy Hump Day, Y'all! Not much going on around here except above average temperatures which means the one person in the area who loves winter (me) is not having a wonderful winter at all. We got that snow and ice in January and apparently, that's going to be it. This is ridiculous. Since I have no control over the weather, I try to find ways to entertain myself and the Hodgepodge is a great way to do just that! 

If you haven't tried it out, today is a good day to join the Hodgepodgers for a bit of sharing fun. 

1. When's the last time you had a heart to heart talk with someone? Monday. A change of heart? It's been a while. Experienced figurative 'heart failure?' Every single time Bug climbs up on the sofa or a chair and tempts fate with her antics. 

2. Champagne, chocolates, flowers...what's your Valentine pleasure? If I have to choose from those I guess it would be chocolates but I do not hold Valentine's Day special. Any special plans for the day? Nope. 

3. Are you a hopeless romantic or do you fall more in the category of practical and pragmatic? Believe it or not, I am a hopeless romantic even though I may sound cynical from time-to-time. But yes, I am and yes, it's annoying.  What's a gesture you find romantic? Poetry read to me by a special someone. Poetry goes right over my head most of the time but when it's read aloud, it's beautiful. And romantic.  

4. Do you ask a lot of questions in life or are you pretty content with what you already know? I ask a lot of questions and try not to be annoying or make assumptions. 

5. Your favorite power ballad? Yeah, had to Google what the heck a power ballad is and I am not a fan of any of the ones Google shared with me. However, when I turned to the movies, I came up with two---the first one is not because of the movie but because I loved her voice so much and am still saddened by her life, the second one because THAT MOVIE. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. Some of you know that Bug's daddy got a new job and his new employers offer a daycare option. I went to a local mom-to-mom FB group and they gave it rave reviews (and these mamas can be brutal) and Bug's mommy and daddy loved everything about it on the tour. We (parents, grandparents, aunties) all felt really good about it this time around so Bug started Monday. When her mommy dropped her off Bug took the hand of one of the teachers and headed off to play without looking back once (I think it's a combination between Bug being a bit older now and the fact they start their day outside on the playground)! I'm planning a post about this place in the future. I am so excited about it! It's like the place I wished existed in my head really does exist in real life. Of course, she's still new to it so I don't want to get ahead of myself but this place seems to be the perfect fit for our Bug. Grandparents day is Friday and both of us grandmothers are going together. Afterwards, we're taking Bug for some frozen yogurt. 

I'll leave Y'all with a few pictures taken by my wonderful SIL from the weekend:

This kid. How stinkin' cute is she? She's sporting Matilda Jane here because I love Matilda Jane so I grab it whenever it's on Zulily. And those red boots? Stop it!

That face. 

She always has something to say. Always. 

A girl and her dog. Between her pup and Tucker, Bug has never been without a dog. 'Dog' was her first word and I believe dogs are her first love which is fine because you can't go wrong with a dog. I think Bug would be fine living on a farm with a gazillion dogs. Yes, she comes by it honestly because her mommy would do the same thing.  

Have a wonderful rest of the week, Y'all!
