Wednesday HodgePodge

-
From this Side of the Pond



 1. The Hodgepodge lands on the second day of a brand new month. Tell us one thing you're looking forward to in September.

Weather is cooler, but not cold.  I like it. 

Usually I look forward to the Jewish holidays, but with quarantine still in place, I'm not sure how we will celebrate this year.

2. Do you enjoy browsing second-hand shops? Last thing you bought or 'inherited' second hand?

I'm not much of a shopper.  I do most of my shopping on line.  Haven't been in  a second hand store in a very long time.  

But I once bought a great dress in a vintage clothing store. It was a purple velvet cocktail dress.  I didn't have an occasion coming up but the dress was lovely.  By the time I had a reason to wear the dress, it no longer fit...

3. Something you had second thoughts about after committing to, purchasing, or posting/commenting  online?

Do I really need all four of those Halloween-themed t shirts?

4. What's a product or service you use that you'd rate as second to none?

Diet Wild Cherry Pepsi.  No other diet soft drink compares.

5. Something you do so often or that comes so naturally to you it's second nature ?

Drew says my iPad is in my hands so often it looks like it became part of me...

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Yesterday my employer announced that instead of having early dismissal Friday, the office would be closed on Friday.  A four day weekend!  Yay!

    I don't care for diet Pepsi products. I'm a diet Coke girl, but I used to love diet cherry vanilla Dr. Pepper. I don't know if they still make it, but they don't sell it around here any longer. That's a shame because it didn't taste like diet at all.

    I don't drink soda anymore, but have never tried the diet wild cherry pepsi. It sounds good! I was always a diet coke girl. Maybe you could part with two shirts? Times are tough and if they bring you joy I'd hang wear them.

    A four day weekend! That's great. Too bad you don't have a picture of your cocktail dress to share with us. I recently bought clothes online, since I couldn't find ANYTHING at the store. I sent half back, but I'm happy with the half I kept.

    Enjoy your long weekend. You can never have too many Halloween t-shirts. You've got all of October to wear them.

    I just saw jelly rings in the supermarket circular and was surprised but then remembered the Jewish holidays are coming. I love those and the marshmallow twists and macaroons that come in the can. I will have to see if I can work those into my WW points, LOL!
    Have a great four day weekend :)

    I chuckled about the purple dress. Isn't that just the way it goes. Lol. I'm not a shooter either. I much prefer shopping online than dealing with crowded stores or items not being in stock. Hope you're having a great weekend

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 ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
