Taking a moment to join in with Joyce and the gang for the Wednesday Hodgepodge at From This Side of the Pond. Here we go ...
1. What was your after school routine like when you were a kid?
When I was a kid, we didn't really have homework. Only projects, book reports, things like that. I think actual homework may have started in 7th grade. So as an elementary age child, my only responsibilities after school (and bear in mind that as a rural bus student I seldom arrived home before 4 pm) were to have a snack, change into play clothes and go outdoors to play or ride my bike. Sledding in the winter, as we discussed last week. Sometimes I might be summoned to help in the kitchen, set the table for supper, or entertain a younger sibling.
2. January 26 is National Green Juice Day (I guess it's true everything really does have its 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; not green or any other kind. I drink very little juice. The juice I drink most often (and that is only occasionally) is V-8 juice, which I use as a means of drinking my hubby's homemade health tonic.
Over January I did make this wonderful mulled cranberry orange juice for a couple of get-togethers with friends. I used the all-juice, no-sugar cranberry pomegranate blend. The orange juice component is simply the juice of a large orange.
3. What's something trivial about which you have a strong opinion?
Juice? But this vintage ad for frozen orange juice is a lot of fun!
4. What do you need more of in your life? Less of?
More time, more sleep, more creativity. Less mindless scrolling; less clutter.
5. Give us three adjectives to describe your January.
Chilly; celebratory (I had a birthday); and creative, as I managed to finish up a few projects.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Here's a little look at some of my winter decorating in a corner of the living room:
And there is the Hodgepodge for this week!
I used to love to do book reports. I wonder if that's even a thing anymore? Hope you had a happy January birthday! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteHi! You commented on my post today but you are a no-reply. Can you send me your email address. dpucci9972@gmail. com
ReplyDeleteI don’t remember a lot of homework until I was in High school. We did have the occasional projects or reports that I always enjoyed in the lower grades. My mom was a stay at home mom, so it was nice to come home to that!
ReplyDeleteI don't remember having homework until high school either. Not as a daily thing, for sure. I haven't had a V8 in a really long time and I used to enjoy V8 and think I was being so healthy. Probably not as healthy as I gave myself credit for! Have a great week!
