Hodge Podge Wednesday

Today I'm linking up with Joyce and friends for another Hodge Podge Wednesday!

1. When was the last time you relocated? Did you move yourself or leave it to the professionals? Are you happy staying put or is there a move in your future? Best thing about moving to a new city or town? Least favorite and/or hardest thing about moving house?

I've never relocated.  The closest I've come is getting married and relocating from my parents' house to our new studio apartment as newlyweds.  We live in the same town that I grew up in.  And although we moved several times during our marriage, I have to say that I don't ever want to move again!

2. When were you last 'moved to tears'? Explain.

I'm reading Jodi Picoult's book, House Rules, and I've teared up a few times throughout it because of the mom, Emma's, feeling of helplessness with a child with Aspergers.  I've even read a few blog posts lately that had me welling up, but I can't remember which ones they were.

3. Do you have rules about eating in the car...any forbidden foods? What's the last thing you consumed in your car? Your go-to car snack when traveling long distance?

This question was rather funny for me because every. single. time. we buy a new car, Wayne's like, "Ok...we're not eating in the car.  No eating in the car. No drive thru in the car." That lasts about two weeks until I'm too dead on my feet to cook supper and we stop for fast food on the way home. Fried fast food. As for a go-to snack, I'd have to say it's M&Ms.  Before we hit the road, we stop for drinks and M&Ms.

4. Share a favorite song relating to cars and/or driving.

The first song that popped in my head was Cyndi Lauper's, "I Drove All Night" but I wouldn't call it a favorite.  I think the duet with Taylor Swift & Tim McGraw, "The Highway Don't Care" is a sexy kinda song.

5. What's your most frequently visited drive-thru...Starbucks? the bank? the pharmacy? some other window?

Sonic.  For a large Diet Coke with extra ice.

6. "He who hesitates is lost"...would you agree? When it comes to making decisions do you generally act quickly or do you more often than not fall into the 'lost' category?

I don't agree with that quote because for me, it depends on the situation and what it is.  However, I have found that the quicker I made a decision when I'm mad or upset, it's usually the wrong decision or something that I later regret. When it's big decisions related to our family, we normally take it slowly.

7. When was the last time you got lost? Was it stressful or an unexpected happy adventure?

The last time that comes to mind is getting lost for the Taylor Swift concert a few months ago in Shreveport.  And I really didn't get "lost" per se, except that we were trying to find a particular restaurant and I couldn't remember how to type in an actual address in my car's navigation system. Wayne and I are headed to New Orleans later today and there is always a place on the way home that we get turned around.  Hoping that doesn't happen on this visit.

8.  Insert your own random thought here.
The highlights of my week so far have been sharing some pool time and just hanging out with some friends Sunday evening.  And this dip! Alise started a week of cheer camp on Monday. Like I said earlier, Wayne and I are headed to New Orleans later today and I'm looking forward to spending some time with my favorite guy in the world.  I'll be sure to post some pics on IG!
