WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #530

Thank you Joyce.

1. Oxford's Word of the Year for 2023 is 'rizz'. Hmmm...before today had you ever heard the word? Do you know what it means? (Apparently it's short for charisma) Have you ever used the word? If you were in charge of the world, what word would you declare word of the year for 2023?

No I haven't heard it and I did not know what it means. I have never used it. I'm not sure what word I would declare for 2023. Looking forward to what others have to say. 

2. What's one word you tend to abbreviate in your writing or speech? (as in rizz for charisma)

I'm drawing a blank. 

3. Are you a Hallmark movie watcher this time of year? What's your favorite character from a holiday- themed movie, book, or TV special? 

Yes I am a Hallmark movie watcher. I guess I could go with Elf. 

4. Something you look forward to eating this month? 

Hopefully some of my Hoska if I get around to baking it.  


5. What's the most stressful part of the holiday season for you? 

As I mentioned last week I am having stress with everything this year. I did get my out of town packages mailed yesterday. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Something to make you smile!

James is so BOY! lover of trains and tractors and all things boys love. i saw the rizz, it came in my word of the day, but i had never heard it, never used it and never will. the word I would love to delete is now oneof the most used words of my life, starts with an F. I am so sick of hearing it.

Hi Debby, James is so cute!!!!Elf is a funny movie! Sorry you have had to deal with so much stress this year. Have fun on the train ride.

Spending time with little ones makes the holidays sweeter. I"m glad you have James and can enjoy sharing this season with him. We will see our James this weekend and I can't wait. Have a great day Debby!

Janes as usual is ADORABLE!
I have never heard the word rizz. Can't say I will use it.
Hey, we joined Hallmark Now. I am not getting any of the movies from Hallmark on the list - are you on a different Hallmark app?
Hope you get your work done.
Love, sandie

I too have never heard of this word and doubt I would ever use it.
I also agree with Sandra (MadSnapper) I don't want to hear that ugly word.
Love your photo of James. He's so sweet and makes me smile.

Seeing James always makes me smile, Debby. Blessings!

Ann said...

Never heard the word rizz and to me it makes no sense to use it in place of charmisma. These days it seems that most young people prefer to abbreviate everything.
James is looking adorable as ever. I bet he's getting pretty excited for Christmas.

James is adorable. That bread looks like it would taste so good!!

Debby said...

I looked up the Hoska bread and it reminds me of the Challah bread. Your little James is such a delight for you. I'm glad you got the mailing out. That should help with your stress.

Your Hoska looks delicious. Hope you get a chance to bake it. James is such a handsome little guy. Hope you can enjoy Christmas!

Trish said...

Merry Christmas!!

Kym said...

The Hoska looks delicious! Is it like Challah, just a different name? Sorry that it's been stressful this year - praying things calm down and you can enjoy a very happy holiday!
