Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I’m joining in for Wednesday Hodgepodge with Joyce.
1. When the Hodgepodge lands on September 11th I want to acknowledge that. Will you purposely pause to remember, pray, or attend any sort of ceremony on 9/11? Share any thoughts or memories you’d like to share about this day.
I will definitely be remembering every time I think about today being 9/11. It’s something I will never forget. I was thinking about how it’s been 23 years and at the time, I was 22 years old. I wonder how the world will treat this anniversary now that so many people seem to sympathize with terrorists.
2. Growing up, did you spend a lot of time with your grandparents? What’s something you learned from a grandparent?
Growing up, I had one grandmother who lived in Arizona, so I didn’t see her as often as my other grandma who lived in NJ. Until I was 7, I also had my grandpa. I have memories of spending time with those NJ grandparents in the summer. It is actually the anniversary of when my Arizona grandmother passed away. Here she is when Simon was a baby:

3. What’s your go-to breakfast?
I have been switching off between eggs and oatmeal. Lindsay got me into this Kodiak Protein Oatmeal and it’s really good!
4. Tell us the story behind one of your favorite photos.
That’s really hard! I have lots of photos that I love for lots of reasons. I was going to share an old photo of myself but I can’t find it right now. So here’s my current favorite picture of our family in Israel. We asked someone passing by to take it.
5. This week Friday lands on the 13th. Are you superstitious in any way? Do you like scary movies, and if so what’s your favorite?
I’m not very superstitious but I will joke about things like Friday the 13th. I don’t like scary movies.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
It seems like every fall I get involved in checking out new clothes ideas for myself. I made a dent in cleaning out my closet – it’s hard since I’ve been so many sizes and I wonder if I will be in need of those sizes again – and if so, will I want those same items? Plus I ordered a few new things and started following some fashion influencers – I found out that I’m not plus size, I’m mid size! But I’m top heavy, which makes things difficult. Any suggestions welcome!
Tell me your answer to any of these!
