Wednesday Hodgepodge

-
From this Side of the Pond

 1. Your favorite cleaning product? Do you clean your own house or hire out? Most disliked household chore? What one chore do you not mind so much? 


I have a small apartment, it's fairly easy to clean.  I have a washer/dryer, so laundry is fairly easy.  My floor seems to be a magnet for dirt, so I am constantly sweeping or mopping -- ugh.


 2. It's Canned Food Month...do you use a lot of canned goods? What are the three canned items you purchase most often? Last thing you made using a canned ingredient? 

My shopping list usually contains canned tuna, canned soup or a can of coffee.  I dislike most canned vegetables, I usually prefer frozen, but I will use canned mushrooms.  I threw some into my spaghetti sauce the other day.



 3. Can of worms, anything can happen, can you imagine?, as best I can, kick the can down the road, more than one can take, no can do, not if I can help it...choose an idiom and tell us how you currently relate.

Kick the can down the road...I've putting things off and I really should stop kicking that can, pick it up and deal with it...

4.The last Tuesday in February is National Spa Day. Are you someone who enjoys a day at the spa? Last time you visited a spa? Do you have a favorite spa? Are salons open for business in your area? Have you made changes to your hair and nail routine since Corona hit? In what way? 

I really, really, really need to visit my salon, I haven't been there in a year...

Not much of a spa fan, I've gone a few times but it's really not my thing.

 5. Believe it or not this is the last Hodgepodge of the month. In one sentence sum up your February. 

BIRTHDAY

 6. Insert your own random thought here.

Waiting for spring!

    It's a sunny 70 degrees here today so feeling very springlike. I love it! A February birthday must bring a little bit of happy to an otherwise somewhat dreary month. Have a great day!

    I love your background of the sky from the airplane! I just got off a zoom call with our travel agent and we are looking at trips for 2022 and 2023. My co-worker had two jonquils in her yard today so hopefully spring is on the way. It is 70 degrees in Alabama today with sunny skies! Last week at this time, it was frigid!

    That will be my word for March! When we lived in a condo with under 700 square feet it was so easy to clean! I'm looking forward to Spring, too. Hope the rest of February treats you well.

    Happy Birthday Month to you! And yes! Come, Spring!
    A smaller place like an apartment means less to clean, less furniture to dust.
    I hope you can pick up that can and run with it :)

    I'm not a spa fan, either.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
