WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #587

Thank you Joyce.

1. What was your after school routine like when you were a kid? 

Honestly I don't remember. I would probably play outside. You have to understand that my mom became an alcholic and sadly I don't have a lot of memories. 

2. January 26 is National Green Juice Day ( I guess it's true everything really does have it's day). Do you juice, as in make your own in an attempt to get healthy? Do you do the green juices? What's your favorite kind of juice (home blended or store bought, either one)? 

I do not juice and can't say I have a favorite. 

3. What's something trivial about which you have a strong opinion? 

Going out of the house and doing something rather then being home all the time! I guess it's not trivial to me. LOL

4. What do you need more of in your life? Less of? 

I need to get out of this house more. I also need to declutter, which you have heard several times from me. I need to watch less TV and stay off my phone more. 

5. Give us three adjectives to describe your January.

HAPPY - when we see James

DIFFICULT - with all of the medical issues and doctor's appointments

LONELY - missing Amber and Dylan all the time

6. Insert your own random thought here.  

We went Saturday morning to watch James play soccer. He really enjoys it and he scored a goal. Then when we got to the house we played some bunko again and also another game called The Uzzle that we bought him for Christmas. 

We had Jersey Mike's for lunch and then he took a bath because they had company coming over later in the day. Then he played on the computer for awhile. 


Also, I forgot to show you one of my Christmas gifts. I finally hung it on the sliding glass door in our bedroom. It's the one place we don't have wooden blinds or curtains. 

It's James and I. 


***************************************

A side note: If I don't get around to reading your posts I'm sorry. I follow so many people and I am so overwhelmed with everything in my life right now I just can't read them all. I turn on my computer and there can be close to 100 posts each day.

Hi Debby, I love the Christmas gift you shared. :-)
I am so happy you have the opportunity to see James so often.
Take care of YOU!!

Ann said...

What an awesome Christmas gift. I bet that was your favorite.
I'm right where you are with the decluttering. I don't know why I'm finding it so hard to do.

Joyce said...

What a sweet gift. I can understand the overwhelm with that number. Maybe try reading odd numbered one day and even another. You won't get to everyone but you'll get to most. Or just choose ten. It's fine. Everyone understands. Take care and hope you have a great day!

The little photo stained glass is just beautiful. James makes life worthwhile, for sure!! I hope your health improves and you can hit the road more!!

the perfect place to hang the light catcher of you and James. In Florida we have to have a way to block the sun, on every window. that makes it hard to hang things in the window... I don't know if my drink is juicing, I use soy milk and frozen strawberries blueberries and mango to make a shake twice a day, with PB powder. I love that but would not love green juicing.

That photo sun catcher is so beautiful and the glass sliding door is the perfect place to display it! What a wonderful gift!!

Getting out of the house -- even just outdoors -- is a healthy idea. We all need more fresh air and sunshine.

Debby said...

What a sweet gift of the suncatcher of you and James! I’d say that is the perfect gift for you!

I've never tried Jersey Mikes -- is it good? Love the idea of a personalized suncatcher. What a treasure yours is!

Kim Carberry said...

So sorry to read about your childhood and not having a lot of memories.
I hope you can get out of the house more.

Martha Jane Orlando said...

Such a special Christmas gift that you will treasure always, Debby. I'm already looking forward to taking photos with my grandchildren when they come for a visit over spring break. I will be sure to share! Blessings!

Tammy said...

I love that Christmas gift. Jersey Mikes, oh Yeah!! The temp is supposed to warm up some here, so hope you can get out of the house some.

You have a 100 people you follow! WOWOWOWOW! No juice either - I love wheatgrass, but it is so expensive. You maybe think you should get out of the house more - but what is wrong with watching movies - maybe you are too hard on yourself. That was a beautiful lead glass with you and James!

There are lots of days when it is hard to get to all the blogs. That is a fun Christmas gift. No juicing at our place, either. I'm with you on the road of decluttering and getting rid of excess! Cute photo of James.
