LOVING The Hodgepodge

Joyce has some Valentine-themed questions for us this week, so join in the fun, why don’t ya?!

1.  What is something you are loving right now?

I am loving having Rooster home from school.  You might remember that he graduated early.  He’s looking for a job, but he still has plenty of free time on his hand…time that I cannot let go to waste.

Hence…the dreaded TO-DO list!!  Basically, Rooster has become my housekeeper!  And the best part?  He works for free!!!

2.  Paris, Venice, New York, and Rome are considered four of the most romantic cities in the world. Which one would you most like to visit?

As a history buff, I would most like to visit Rome.  Oh, the joy that would fill my soul if I could travel across that history-filled city with all of its museums and, well, “old-ness.”

3.  Are you a romantic?

Simply put, no.  I’m very practical and just don’t care about lovey dovey stuff.

4.  What’s your favorite love story made for the Big Screen?

I’m not a huge fan of romance movies.  Someone either dies or the couples just can’t figure things out, and that drives me nuts.  With that said, my favorite movie is Gone With the Wind, which has the timeless romance of Scarlett and Rhett.  I can watch the movie with the satisfaction of knowing, from having read Scarlett, the sequel, that Scarlett grows up and finds her way back to her guy.

5.  Everyone loves Pooh bear and friends…which character are you most like and why? Click here for help in answering this question.

What a fun little quiz!  Here are my results…

I’m shocked at how well this describes me!!!

6.  What’s the best chocolate something you’ve ever eaten?

Ahhh…I’ve blogged about this before…it’s the Caramel Chocolixer that can be purchased at Godiva stores…

7.  Share a favorite quote about love.

Romans 5:8

New International Version (NIV)

8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

8.  My Random Thought

A lot of you have been blogging for a while now, just as I have, so you’ll understand what I mean when I say that it’s not uncommon for your bloggy friends to pop into your head at random times throughout the week.

I was at Walmart yesterday when I spied a clearance endcap.  As I took a look at the stuff, I couldn’t help but chuckle as I spied Belle items.  My friend, Rebecca, is a little obsessed with this Beauty and the Beast heroine.  I so want to meet Rebecca one day (and this is not a stalker thing, so don’t get creeped out.  We’ve been bloggy friends for a few years now.)

Another recent instance when I thought of a bloggy friend was when I came across this in Sam’s…

I was instantly reminded of one of Joyce’s questions last week and just had to take a picture.  It seems that, ever since posting that set of Hodgepodge questions, I keep running into this color!!!  It truly is the color of the season!!

  1. Wow…a housekeeper who works for FREE??? I am so jealous! You definitely can’t beat “Gone With the Wind”…talk about a southern charmer! Yep…tango orange is, apparently, the ‘in’ color, but not sure if I could swing it.

  2. Yep, I can do the same…see something somewhere and it will remind me of a bloggin’ buddy! That chocolate concoction looks mighty scrumptious….we don’t have a Godiva Store here…but, now I wish we did!!!

    Walking in Sunshine is my Wednesday Link…for Hodgepodge answers, scroll down a bit.

  3. Oh yes, I definitely find ‘online’ stuff mixing in to my everyday : ) I think its good for teachers to be kangas-that seems to fit. Still haven’t tried the Godiva drink…hmmm…I’m heading to the mall today so maybe.

  4. OHHHHHHH MyYYYYYY!!! My basket would have been FULL of clearance items 🙂 It was a bargain, right? How do you pass that up! haha!

    I took my nieces to see B&B & then we went to Target afterwards so they could pick out a goodie – I kept saying, “Dont you want this” – always being a Belle thing. They rolled their eyes at me. Not good when 7 yr olds are too grown up for that stuff…

    Gone with the Wind… a good classic! I have the book “Scarlett” but never read it yet. Now you’ve got me wanting to go pull it out!

    (& yep… I’m keeping fingers crossed we’ll meet someday too) 🙂

  5. How neat that color is showing up everywhere..lol!

  6. I love it when I think about my internet friends during random times in the week. That couch is definitely the color of the year! Wow. Now that I think about it, outside is a place that I would use it to decorate.

  7. Love Gone With the Wind and love the ending in Scarlett!! Wish they’d make a movie out of Scarlett. That would be really neat.

  8. I had a blogging friend think of me when she saw a leather key chain with “It’s All Good” stamped on it! Made my day when I got it in the mail!
    I see Kanga is pretty popular with the bloggers I’ve visited so far.

  9. I think about my “bloggy” friends often as well – we really do become almost like extended family to each other, don’t we? And i agree with Desi, it’s not a color I would naturally go for, but if I were living back in Florida or on the coast of California and had a gorgeous patio overlooking the ocean, that is definitely a color I can see myself using… sigh… now I want to go to the beach. Too bad Idaho is so landlocked! 🙂

  10. I was just popping over from hodgepodge… I am glad I’m not the only one who said I’m not overly romantic… I was starting to feel like a cad.

  11. New follower from the HOP, hope you come by and follow 🙂 That Caramel Chocolixer looks YUMMY!
