WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #365




1. What's something you resolved to do this year? Have you done it?

No I haven't done it and it's been going on for almost five years now. That's cleaning out closets, drawers, going through thousands of pictures, etc. etc. etc...... 

2. Where do you go to find quietude?

During the holidays there were 75 Christmas movies on between Hallmark, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries and Lifetime. I got in the habit of watching one each morning and I really loved that time. 

So during this time of isolation I am taping some older movies from the Hallmark channel and having coffee while I watch one each morning. (sometimes I watch more than one)

3. A friend asked this question on her Facebook page and said I could borrow it for the Hodgepodge...you're only allowed to buy 5 things at the grocery store, and all must start with the first letter of your first name. Whatcha' buying?

Well this isn't that easy. I'm trying to think of some things that are nutritious. Dave's Bread, Dill Pickles, Diamond Walnuts, Dannon Yogurt and Del Monte Green Beans. Hooray, I did it! 

4. The television show Survivor, the Gloria Gaynor song 'I Will Survive', survival mode, survival of the fittest...pick one and discuss.

'I will survive' because that's how life moves forward. It is not easy, it never will be but with God in our hearts we should be able to survive. 

5. Share a favorite quote or saying about strength.

If I can only buy 5 things at the grocery store and they have to start with an A I'm not going to be enjoying much of what I eat...lol
Your random thought made me laugh.

You and I share the same name (spelled differently, but nevertheless, the same) and we shared the same quote! What are the chances of that? Got a chuckle out of your Cinco De Mayo quote! Stay safe and well...

Theresa said...

Hallmark movies are feel good for sure. I love that I can put one on and not have to worry about fast forwarding through a scene or foul language.
I want to go through my photos too but it just seems overwhelming. If I can at least back up the ones on my computer that may be a start ;)

I love Diamond Walnuts … and, if fact, have begun putting them in my salads instead of croutons. Yep about the 'thousands of photos' -- that's something I need to tackle and keep putting off. Think I'm going to start by separating them into categories: parents, son, grandkids, me. Sometimes it seems overwhelming, so I'm more inclined to pour a glass of wine and worry about it tomorrow. LOL!

Mango, Mustard soup, Mexican bean mix, Margharita! Done. Although I can't get the last one in the supermarket.

I am now watching one or two episodes of Doctor Who every day. My mum is not too fond of the doctor, although she will stay and watch on occasion.

Sue said...

I always smile while reading your posts, Debby, your positive attitude is catching.
I had a hard time coming up with grocery items that begin with D, wish I thought of dill pickles and doughnuts.
Love the quote.
have a great day,
Sue

betty said...

I like your healthy D items, Debby! So true about Cinco De Mayo, LOL. Lots of avocados might be available to buy at the store though! I hope during these tough times we can find a way to thrive in our relationships with God :)

Chatty Crone said...

I am with you on the Hallmark movies.
Your D list - very healthy - and no we don't eat alike - lol.
Loved your joke and thought for the day!

Cranberry Morning said...

Great job on the grocery list! I love the quotation about strength. And funny poster at the end. Lol. Have a good week.

maddie/cadesmimi said...

I do love a good Hallmark movie, and I'm right there with you on cleaning out closets, drawers, etc. I always start, then lose my momentum. All I know, is my kids are going to have a mess to sort through one of these days...

Love you blog post like this. Hoping you are staying safe and well.

1. What's something you resolved to do this year? Have you done it?

to heal....working on it.

2. Where do you go to find quietude?

My living room

3. A friend asked this question on her Facebook page and said I could borrow it for the Hodgepodge...you're only allowed to buy 5 things at the grocery store, and all must start with the first letter of your first name. Whatcha' buying?

five things....gallon of sweet tea and a gallon of unsweet. I mix them. Sharp cheddar cheese, crackers, and something sweet!!

4. The television show Survivor, the Gloria Gaynor song 'I Will Survive', survival mode, survival of the fittest...pick one and discuss.

I would have to go with I will survive...I always do. Life is not an easy road to travel and we don't make it through without scrape and scars but if we make it through, they we have survived.

5. Share a favorite quote or saying about strength.
I have to go with my fave saying or life motto....laugh often, laugh hard and laugh out loud..... BECAUSE laughter is the best med.

Hello! I have wanted to clean out closets and such too. Particularly the shed and garage. We got to do the shed on Saturday and were so productive. The places where I want to go to donate some are currently closed so I have it stored still but it is going when they open! A lot went to the trash too. Now to do the garage!

Great job on your grocery list! Yep, we will survive. Thanks for your visit to my blog and your comment. Hope the rest of your week goes well!

I wish I could "get into" movies but I just can't. *sigh* Oh, once in a great while I can, but it's rare. I wish I could though... as it would help pass the time. Most of the movies I find myself watching, when I do, are ones I've seen before and really enjoy. Love, Andrea xoxo

Susan said...

That last one about Cinco de Mayo was funny! I added lots of pics on my post. Come visit and leave a comment. 5 things for me to buy?
Salmon, Soup, Seafood, Sardines and sandwich fixings.

Cindy said...

I'm with you when it comes to cleaning out closets and drawers. I've done a few but not nearly enough! Loved that Cinco de Mayo meme! It's true and so sad! :(

Carla from The River said...

Oh goodness .. your random is the best.

Michelle said...

I love Hallmark. Have you tried steaming them from FRNDLY?
FRNDLY has 3 Hallmark channels, plus other channels.
We don't have a tv so we stream.

Have a great weekend, Debby! 💖
