WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #376

To play along click HERE


1. The Hodgepodge lands this year on National Secret Keeping Day...on a scale of 1-10 (with 1 being I'm a blabbermouth and 10 being I'm a vault) how good are you at keeping secrets?

I think I am probably a 9. I'm pretty good at it. 

I read here nine jobs for people who can keep a secret-cybersecurity worker, executive assistant, housekeeper, lawyer, nuclear plant technician, physician, private investigator, psychologist, security guard  Of the jobs listed, which one most interests you and why?

Definitely a psychologist. I like listening to people and helping them with their issues. 

2. What's the secret of life (or one of them anyway)?

When I find out I will let you know!  

Actually I looked at some quotes. I think the first one is fitting for my blogname, the second one felt good to me and the third one felt like a light bulb moment!

3. Off the record, best-kept secret, a fly on the wall, top secret, my lips are sealed, secret shopper, as quiet as a mouse, poker face, spill the beans, open secret, bite your tongue...which secret idiom can you best relate to right now? Explain.

I'm going with "a fly on the wall" but I don't have anything to share. I just know that I would like to be able to see what's going on behind my back. LOL! 

4. Spill here the secret ingredient in one of your favorite recipes?

I'm definitely drawing a blank here.

5. My mama celebrates a big birthday tomorrow. Share a favorite quote, song lyric, saying, or verse of scripture that will add some sunshine to her day (ours too!)

Best Happy Birthday wishes and quotes for the year 2020

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

We had a lovely social distancing 4th of July over at Adam & Gabby's. Just look at James and Roxy watching the neighbors across the street......

I would play along with these questions but my answers are secrets...lol
James and Roxy sure are interested in what the neighbors are doing.

You had a lot of precious pictures of James but this is one of my all-time favorites. Haha oh man and keeping her secret secret haha I have no secret recipe I have no recipes at all unless opening jars and dumping in pots is a secret haha. I think I might be a 5 on the scale I can keep a secret if somebody says please don't tell anybody else but I am a blabbermouth and tell everything I know but I can keep a secret

Your graphics are so good and true. I with Sandra, this picture of sweet James is one of my favorites. He is such a doll. I will be so happy for you when you no longer have to do the distancing, but am so glad you are at least able to be with him and family.

Martha said...

Love that sweet photo. Come fly with me, we can find out all the secrets together lol ;)

So cute with James and Roxy. They both look so intent watching the neighbors. I like your quotes on life especially the one about falling 7 times and getting up 8 times. Got to keep trying and hopefully one day succeeding!

This is probably my all-time favorite of James! (So far!) I almost put down psychologist, then remembered there's no way I could remain impassive. LOL. That meme about falling down is sooo true. I'm going to clip and paste that for my reflections journal.

Hootin Anni said...

Awwwwww, wanna know a secret? James is adorable!! You knew already, I'm sure of it.

Joyce said...

So glad you were able to celebrate with sweet James. I do think we have to keep picking ourselves back up, putting one foot in front of the other and not beating ourselves up too much for past mistakes. Enjoy your day!

Michelle said...

I would love to be a fly on the wall.

I've been so busy with touring houses. We may have one. Tomorrow is inspection day <3

Susan said...

That is a cute picture of James! I like your quote!

Chatty Crone said...

James is adorable.
I think breathing is a good secret of life - I need all the help I can get.
I am not too good of a secret keeper - so don't tell me any! lol

Terrific quotes and I like the idea of Finding yourself.
Happy Birthday to your Mama and tell her that the best is yet to come.
I am a # 9 on the secret scale. I definitely can keep a secret. I think I would be a psychologist too..I am a good listener.
I can be a Poker Face and a bite my tongue if needs be.
No secret ingredients I just try to follow the recipe...not much of a creative cook or baker.
Sweet photo of your Cutie too.
Sue

I thought the secret to life was 42. Or is that the answer to The question? Hm...

LA Paylor said...

awe those are great answers, and a beautiful last photo. I am new to these questionnaires so didn't know about this one. I do the Sunday stealing one, and sometimes the Tues 4. I host "I Like" on Thursdays, join us if you ever want to list some things you liked that week.

Thanks for visiting my painting post... and there are many ways to be an artist... looking at the world in a way you can express yourself in it, maybe with your words or your photos it's easier? Composing a post is also very creative, and wow your borders are so pretty around your posts. Nice to chat with you a bit today Debby.

Since my job is actually on that list, I suppose it goes without saying that I am good at keeping secrets. Sometimes I've felt like the secret-keeper for the small community where I practiced. In fact, I'm so good at it, that I can see people who are closely connected and they have no idea I see the other one.
