Er. Hmm. Pink? My first thought was Pepto Bismol when I've got an upset belly because having an upset belly is the worse, but...tree blossoms!
Hanging out with my friends! In high school we could chose what we did during gym time. My girlfriends and I would chose things like jump rope and hang out in the school parking lot because that was the jumping area. The gym teacher rarely checked on us...
The smell of roses doesn't really spark any special memories for me, good or bad.
Read. I'm not the most creative writer even if I enjoy blogging. I don't feel as though I have mastered written humor yet, humor that I would like to convey in my writing. And a book is just easier to pack up and bring along wherever I go.
5. Sam Keen is quoted as saying, 'Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability.' Would you agree? Is laziness ever respectable? How will you be lazy this summer?
Lazy days of summer? Where are they? Come September I am longing for slower, quieter SCHEDULED days. Summer means long days at the lake, swimming, kayaking, fishing. Summer means camping and late nights around a fire-pit roasting marshmallows. Summer means gardening and mowing the lawn in HOT temperatures. Summer means working on challenging concepts missed the school year before and planning and preparing for the next. Don't get me wrong! Summer is lots of fun, but it's also tiring.

Disney World. I don't like the hustle-bustle of crowded amusement parks or the hype associated with Disney, but it just seems like a place that everyone should say they've been to once. And there's the zoo, right? I'm sure I would love that!
7. What question do you hate to answer?
You know when you're talking and someone says "What? I didn't hear you." So, you tell them again, and they reply, "Again? I missed it." At that point, I'm like "Nevermind." It seems to be happening to me a lot lately. Perhaps I speak too softly?

Happy Hodgepodging!
I like your feelings. Nice article.
ReplyDeleteget many entertainments.
Thanks for stopping by, Muhammad!
DeleteI enjoyed reading this and funny asking questions makes me stop and think
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Carolee! Some questions do just that...and that's a good thing!
DeleteSummer sounds like fun at your house. Except maybe for that math review : )
ReplyDeleteLOL Well, keeping those math skills sharp over the summer months is a great thing! We'll get in lots of summer fun too!
DeleteGood answer to the question "What question do you hate to answer?" We must both have quiet voices because I get asked that quite frequently too :P
ReplyDeleteIDK, Lily. I always thought my voice was "average"...but I spend a large part of my day answering "Huh?"
DeleteMy hubby is always asking me to repeat things. Partly I know because I do speak softly but also partly because he won't admit his hearing is not as good as it used to be!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by, Wendy!
DeleteLove the Disney pic -- it certainly paints a picture of frenzy!
ReplyDeleteHi Paige! I tried finding your blog to read, but wasn't successful. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteUh, I hate repeating myself!
ReplyDeleteMe too, me too! ;)
DeleteMy husband constantly has me repeat what I said. Even when I preface it with a big "HELLO," (lol) to get his attention. He won't wear his hearing aids. I think your summer sounds wonderful, except for all that work!
ReplyDeletePepto Bismol! Funny.
LOL Perhaps I should try the big "HELLO" and see if that works...Although it seems like EVERYONE lately has trouble. Must be me? LOL
DeleteSummer is a very exhausting time of year for the farmer! ;) We go from sun up to sun down most days and I always look forward to the clock falling back and the days getting shorter. SO, Winter is our lazy time I guess. Or, you could call it recouping! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI'm not even a farmer...but I do have chickens, ducks and a small garden.I know by September I'm looking forward to more structured days of school...and when snow comes that's my time to cook warm meals, bake, and really read and crochet.
DeleteI had to laugh after reading your response and some of the comments about having to repeat things with our husbands. If I don't make sure I have my husband's undivided attention I will always have to repeat. If he ever looks down or at something else, I've lost him. He is a typical male and not only is he losing his hearing, but he can only concentrate on one thing at a time. Woe is me! HA!
ReplyDeleteOh, not just the husband, but the kids too. I think they have "selective parental hearing". It's a real thing....LOL
DeleteOh... I really dislike having to repeat myself as well. Not fun!
ReplyDeleteMe too, me too! ;)
DeleteJealous of your summers! Mine consist of teaching summer school and preparing for next year. Maybe one summer I can not work and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteMake sure of any time you DO have! You got to enjoy some summer, right?
DeleteI have that same problem with my dad, but I think he's due for a hearing aid. I never have problems with anyone else hearing me. And the funny thing is, sometimes he mumbles and I can't tell what he said.
ReplyDeleteDo you say "What?" LOL
DeleteSometimes people don't hear well but I really believe that in your case, they are just not paying attention. I hate that. The picture of the rose is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteCould be both! I am fairly quiet when I speak...unless I need to be loud!
DeleteHappy to have you come visit me today. I laughed when you said PeptoBismol. That was my first thought about something pink! Yuck!!
ReplyDeleteGlad I wasn't the only one! LOOL
DeleteNeither my dh or I can hear each other anymore. It's tempting to think we both need hearing aids, but I don't seem to have this problem (at least not excessively) with other people. I think we've both started mumbling now that the kids are grown and all but one has left the nest. I'm trying to be more aware, though, and change my ways. I really am.. I said, I really am..
ReplyDeleteJust to see what reactions I get...I've started to say "Huh?" or "What?" every time! LOL
DeleteVery good post.
