Perfect summer hodgepodge

 

 Nearly the midpoint of summer -- and it also happens to be time for the Wednesday Hodgepodge at From This Side of the Pond, where Joyce writes the questions and bloggers provide the answers!  Here we go ...

 1. The midpoint of summer (believe it or not) is August 7th. Describe a perfect summer day. Have you had one this year? 

A perfect summer day: quiet time and coffee by the campfire; a long walk; a visit to some outdoor destination in our beautiful state; lunch at a picnic table by one of our amazing lakes; time spent cross-stitching on a dock or a screened porch; supper out at a treetop restaurant; an evening at our cottage with all the windows open.

No, I haven't had a summer day just like that this year.  Parts of them.

2. What's one thing you wish you knew before starting high school? 

Popularity is overrated.

3. What's something that bothers you if it's not done perfectly? 

Honestly, I can't think of anything like that.  Punctuation, maybe.  Misplaced apostrophes really bother me.

4. What's the most overrated food you're convinced people are just pretending to enjoy? What's a trendy food you actually do enjoy and would say is definitely not overrated? 

Oh, I don't know.  I don't pay a lot of attention to food trends.  Sushi (and yes, I know that's not new) doesn't intrigue me, but I know people who genuinely love it.  One new-ish food that I actually do enjoy is maple bacon ice cream.

5. Wrapping it up this week with five fun this or thats...

personal stylist or personal chef? 
dance like nobody's watching or sing like nobody's listening? 
unlimited tacos or free pizza? 

bookshelf organization-by size or by genre? 
ten minutes late or ten minutes early? 

* Personal chef, if I have to choose one.

* Sing like nobody's listening.

* Unlimited tacos -- especially at a taco truck.

* Both.  Only some of my shelves will hold tall books, so those ones are sorted by size.

* Ten minutes early whenever possible.

6. Insert your own random thought here.

We've been playing tourist lately and taking some staycation days.  Plus we did take 2 days away in Maine,  Delightful!

There is the Wednesday Hodgepodge for this week!
