1. Besides Thanksgiving, something on your November calendar you're looking forward to?

This is a pretty easy one for me....I am so excited about my "Friend Trip" happening tomorrow.  

We will be headed out to Branson Mo.  This is a good 8 hour drive for us (One way)...Prayers always appreciated for traveling mercies.  

2.  Dictionary.com's word of the year is '6-7'. Huh?

I do understand this and I wrote a post about it a few weeks back.  If you have teenage grandchildren and live in Texas, you will know what this 6-7 stands for.  This slang has been here for a while now. 

Is it even a word???  I had to consult the internet to find out it's meaning because apparently I'm old and this particular slang is not part of my vocabulary. Is  it part of yours? According to the article I read, it's a viral term, more of an inside joke with an unclear meaning driven by social media.

What do you think?

I think the kiddos have had a fun time with this 6-7.  They, themselves have laughed with and at each other....AND at parents who have tried so desperately to understand this slang talk.  The teachers in our area are so tired of it....and since it has been around for a bit, the kids are tired of it as well.  It's kind of like how we used to say "Cool Beans" or "Psyche."  Fun for the younger generation and some what annoying for the older folks.  

Dictionary.com says it's selection each year ia a "linguistic time capsule reflecting social trends and events, but they also admitted to being confused by '6-7". Some say it means so-so and is sometimes accompanied by the up and down hand motion we associate with the phrase so-so.

What word do you think would have made a better choice?

Perhaps I wouldn't give it just one word...maybe a sentence, like......."He could be 6  Hmmm' maybe  7 foot tall.  

3.  What's a food, trend, activity, or thing people love but you think is so-so?

Okay...here I go with this one...  PIERCINGS.  Face piercings particularly.   Yep, I said it!  Maybe I didn't even answer this question correctly cause in my humble opinion, I don't even consider the lip, eyebrow, nose piercings to even be So-So.   I'm not judging here...I'm just saying that I TOTALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS TREND.  But you know what?  To each his own....if this is something that makes your heart sing, then 

So-So

4. Are you a Tea drinker? Hot or cold? How do you like yours and at what time of day? Do you like flavored or teas billed as calming, energizing, healing, etc?

Well.....I do live in the South.  This means we drink tea all the time.  Morning, mid morning, lunch, afternoon, dinner, before we go to bed......ANYTIME.  

Sweet  Iced tea is a favorite, but I do like hot tea as well.  I actually drink Half and Half tea most of the time. 

Half sweet, Half unsweet.  

No energizing tea for me.

5.  The November Hodgepodge has always include a weekly gratitude question. Here's the question for today. What are three things that make your heart sing?

THE GLOW OF OUR HOME!!

MOMENTS THAT REMINDS ME OF WHAT REALLY MATTERS IN LIFE!!

SMALL SEASONAL WONDERS

6. Insert your own Random thought here:

I just told Sam that I don't think I have a random thought....His reply..."I know" and he said it with a laugh.  He knows me too well. 

I guess my random thought might be......How long will it take for my body to adjust to this Time Change? I've been waking up around 4:30 and by 8:00 PM.....I am SLEEPY!

Wishing you all a Super Duper...Awesome Day.

Shug..💛
