Wednesday's Taxing Hodgepodge

Visit Joyce and join the fun!

1. In Monday’s post I mentioned I would incorporate the word I was given for letter K into this week’s questions. That word was karaoke. On a scale of 1-10 how excited would you be to find out there was karaoke happening at your next gathering/outing with friends? 10=gimme that microphone!, and 1=I suddenly remembered there’s somewhere else I need to be. Have you ever actually done karaoke? If you had to perform karaoke what would be your ‘go-to’ song?

Well it depends on the crowd...if it was my extended family I would say a 10!  I love singing karaoke with my niece.  They have a system that hooks up to the TV and we have had a lot of fun with it.  If it were friends that don't know me too well that I would probably be a 3.  I might be coaxed into singing if it wasn't by myself.  My go-to song is "Suspicious Minds" by Elvis.  My fifteen year old niece loves Elvis.  Who doesn't?

2. How do you listen to music these days? Favorite app or do you listen the old fashioned way? Do you have music playing often in your home? Is there still a CD player in your car?

I mostly listen to music on my laptop through Amazon Music.  I do play music often.  I am not sure if I have a CD player in my car.  My old car did but we replaced it in October and the new one came with Sirius so we listened to that until the free trial expired.  Now I hook my phone up through Bluetooth and play music from Amazon Music.  

3. The HP lands on US tax day this year. Or what used to be tax day before everything including filing your taxes was cancelled, delayed, postponed or extended. FYI- filing your taxes has not been cancelled, only delayed for a bit.
Besides staying away from anyone and everyone, what have you found taxing lately?

Constantly washing my hands and sanitizing everything.  I don't go out much but I am frequently thinking what did I touch?  Did the package of food have germs on it?  Did I wipe it down well enough?  It is exhausting.  You hear so many differing views on things like should you disinfect groceries before putting them away, how long can the virus live on paper or plastic bags, etc.  


4. You’re without power so no oven, and you can’t open your frig or freezer in order to keep what’s in there from spoiling. And you don’t have access to take out. What will you make us for dinner?  

How about cereal?

5.  I’ve seen this exercise going around Facebook and thought it would be a good one to include in the HP...what are five things everybody seems to love and go crazy for that you personally don’t care for?

#1- Starbucks 
#2- Fake eyelashes
#3- Acrylic nails
#4- Sushi
#5- Big earrings

  1. Big earrings gave me a chuckle. I have tried a few pairs but they make me think my neck must be shorter than some people. Happy Hodgepodge to you!

  3. I would like cereal for supper and sometimes I do have it even when the electric is working. I do like some of Starbucks drinks as long as there is no coffee in them. I prefer real nails, no on sushi and I like some big earrings, sometimes.

  4. I enjoyed reading your answers. Sushi was in my list, too.

  5. I like sushi and false eyelashes if they are not over the top huge. Not a Starbucks fan of their store made drinks, but I do like the blonde ground coffee they sell in the supermarkets. Stay well!

  6. I'm with you on the Starbucks craze. Of course, I am not a coffee drinker so it is not a temptation or compulsion for me as it is for many in my family. Keep cleaning all the stuff brought inside although it is definitely taxing. We just can't be too careful. I'm just hoping this isn't part of our new norm.

  7. I should have put Starbucks on my list, soooo overrated in my opinion. Wishing you well!

  8. I like your list of 5 things not to rave about. Interesting answer to the food one - do you eat our cereal dry or would you risk getting milk from the fridge? I can eat cereal any time of the day lol

    1. Ha! I didn't even think about the milk. Bad answer on my part because I would have to open the fridge to get milk or yogurt. How about ice cream? We never want the ice cream to melt so if we lose power we take the ice cream out and eat it :)
