Sneezing Hodgepodge

Y'all are not going to believe this BUT, we are having some cool-ish temps! I'm so excited! Do y'all have any idea how great it is to walk out the front door at 5:30 in the morning and not get knocked down by a wall of heat and humidity????? And to walk outside of school in the afternoon and make it to the car without wondering if someone will call 911 for you when you stroke out???? Pure delight these cool-ish temps are. Pure delight!

Know what else is a pure delight? The Hodgepodge! 


1. It's fall. Y'all. My favorite season of the year! What's something you love to do this time of year that makes you feel it's officially fall? And unrelated to that, do you ever say-'y'all'? Do I ever say, 'y'all'????? I'm from the south. Born and bred. Of course I say, 'y'all'. I love to get out my fall decorations and start drinking hot apple cider. 

2. When did you last have a falling out with someone? Has it been resolved? I don't think I've had a falling out with anyone recently. If I have, it must not have been very meaningful to me because I don't remember it. Ha! 

3. A song you love with the word 'fall' in it's title? It was a toss-up between:



and this one:

 
4. What's something you've recently let 'fall by the wayside?' Everything in my house. It's a wreck. I need a maid service. But then I'd have to clean up before they showed up so.... 

5. When did you last attend an event, read a book, watch a movie, try a new recipe, or visit a shop-town-tourist attraction that fell short of your expectations? In what way? I can't really think of a time...everything's been pretty darn good lately. 


6. Describe a time you said or thought, 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Every single time I meet some parents that thought occurs to me. I think it's self explanatory to anyone out there who has ever worked with children. 

7. Was today better than yesterday? Why or why not? Yes. Because it's one day closer to Friday! 

8.  Insert your own random thought here. As much as I love autumn, it brings with it a bad case of hayfever as well as the time for MAP testing. So, for two/three weeks, I'll be suffering through both. No matter. I still love the change in temps!


 If anyone likes NuNaturals Stevia products, I'm hosting a giveaway. You can find it HERE. I don't care for it in drinks but it's good when baking. And they're not associated with Monsanto or any other chemical giant. 

Have a great rest of the week, y'all!

    1. Hippie???? LOL That was a bit before my time. :) Thanks! I hope I do too. I am certainly tired of being the maid around here. I had to put on a long sleeved shirt today and am seriously considering a blanket as I type this. I LOVE it!

    2. Good grief, it did it again!!!! My phone always substitutes hippie for hope. I'm so annoyed! Anyway, I HOPE you have a good evening! :-)

  2. I'm glad you're getting a taste of fall. I love warm cider too. And Tom Petty singing Free Fallin' : ) Contemplating getting a maid service in for a one day super clean to get me caught up. Otherwise I'm thinking I may never get there! Enjoy your day!

    1. I'm glad too! It's about time. I am actually chilly right now and I love it! I'm giving serious thought to the maid service as well. I just can't do it anymore. Thanks!

  3. I'm having some allergy issues, too. Yucky. It's good to see how many others are falling behind on the housecleaning. I do have someone who cleans every two weeks, but in-between ... oh well. It's also nice that blogger friends are easy going and like peace!
    Have a great week.

    1. My allergies are driving me nuts but I refuse to let them stand in the way of my enjoying the cooler temps! It is nice that blogger friends are like that. I have truly enjoyed all of my associations with fellow bloggers. Thanks!

  4. I love cooler weather too. Right now though we're trying to hold off turning on the heat. With morning temperatures being in the low thirties it can get a bit chilly in the house. Perfect for baking though!

    1. We're not getting anywhere near that much cooler. We only went up to 66 today and I was chilly. Of course, it was rainy and damp too so that added to it. I'd take those 30s though! With heat. LOL

  5. I agree with ya', these cooler temperatures are NICE :)
    I loved your answer about the apple not falling far from the tree. I get it :)

    1. Thanks! There was one of 'those' parents at school today. I'm glad I was testing and didn't have to hear the things being said to the classroom teacher. All we know now is why the kid is the way he is. Sheesh.

  6. Great song picks. Listening to good music while drinking apple cider sounds like a great idea.

    1. It is a good idea. So good, in fact. that I'm doing it again today. :)

  7. Why do we all think we need to clean for the cleaning service? Don't know anyone who hasn't put it off for same reason. Enjoy those cool days while you have them. Good luck with the hay fever and testing. I'd rather clean house!

    1. I don't know. But I've always been that way. Probably got it from my grandmother and mother. Not that my grandmother would have ever let someone else clean her house. LOL Thanks!

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It makes me feel connected to everyone even though we may live far apart! Have a wonderful day!
