Snow Day

It has been a busy June, and as such this blog has been a teensy bit neglected. There are seasons. I've got a lot going on just now, and have decided to call snow day on the Hodgepodge this week. I know those who play along every week are always disappointed to see I need a break, but I need a break.

I have a calendar full of appointments starting today, with the dentist this morning and the gyno this afternoon. No idea what I was thinking booking my two fun things on the same day, but Hello Monday!

Tuesday and Wednesday look similar, except those days events will actually be fun, and then I'm heading out of town for a reunion with old friends in one of my favorite places-camp. I've committed to giving a brief devotional on Saturday morning to the group (not sweating that at all-ha!), and will also be run/walking a 5K, both of which require some prep time this week. Actually, that 5K prep should have been an ongoing thing, but whatever.

On top of that, the dust is approximately knee deep on my furniture, my Plantation shutters are not going to clean themselves, and my patio pots need attention, i.e.-plants.

So-that's the list of excuses  reasoning behind the 'No Hodgepodge' declaration this week.  I love the Hodgepodge, and appreciate everyone who participates, the faithful and the intermittent alike. Thank you for understanding that my attention needs to be somewhere else this week, and rest assured Volume 130 will be up and running again soon. (Our next set of questions will be posted on June 25th/the link on June 26th).

Wherever this Monday morning finds you, enjoy!

  1. Sometimes I get to ten o'clock at night, and think, "Oh No I need to write my blog!" Now is a tough time for me too. Too many things on my plate!
    Have a good week Joyce!

  2. Your Monday sounds, um, awful. I could never do that. Good idea for a HP snow day. Summer gets soooo busy! We'll have 22 people at the lakehouse this weekend, and I have 2 days of jury duty this week, so I'll be a tad bit busy myself. :) Have a great camp reunion!

  5. I know exactly what you mean. I try to book all appointments during the summer (try not to miss school). Summer is hectic around here-this summer is even more hectic the previous ones--our new business adventure will be opening soon. Have a great week.

  7. I would say have fun, but some of that stuff sounds like no fun at all. So have fun where you can and somewhere in all that busyness try to find some rest time too. See you when your back.

  10. No worries....it's all understandable. You work long hours on Hodgepodge weekly, and after having a meme myself for a while, I DO UNDERSTAND how time consuming it can be, and a need to put it on the back burner. Life is #1 importance.

    See you next week then.

  15. Well darn! But hey, I totally understand how being busy can throw a curve ball into your regular routine.

    So glad you're getting a chance to visit friends.

    Enjoy your week (the fun stuff). :)
