Welcome to this week's edition of The Wednesday Hodgepodge. If you've answered today's questions add your link at the end of my post, then leave a comment for the blogger before you. Here we go-
1. What's an adult problem nobody prepared you for?2. How tuned in are you to all the recent food related health news? Have you gotten rid of your scratched cookware? Did you pay attention to food additives before they made the news? What's one healthy eating/cooking/food shopping habit you need to adopt?
I'm tuned in. Have I made any big changes? Not really, but I will be getting rid of any scratched pots and pans I still have. I grew up in a home where my mother cooked every night. From scratch. We had a salad with every dinner, lots of fresh fruits and veggies, and we drank milk, not soda. I also cook from scratch so we've never eaten a lot of processed foods.
I do eye the ingredients if I'm buying something boxed, bottled, or canned (like cereal, cooking oils, etc) and while I know it's a big shift for some of these companies I'm glad to see unnecessary additives removed from our food. I'm somewhat amazed at how quickly major companies have gotten on board, once we started really talking about it.
One healthy habit I need to adopt? Less sugar.
3. What's getting worse and worse as you get older? How about better and better?
Worse and worse...my eyesight. I miss my 20/20 vision and my un-spectacled face.
Better and better...I know what's important and can keep my eyes on that.
4. Are you more of an indoor person or an outdoor person? Elaborate.
I'm a bit of both. I love the outdoors, love being out in nature, but if being an outdoor person implies adventure then it's less true. I'm not mountain biking, skiing, that sort of thing.
I like to hike and camp and swim in the lake and read on the porch and I feel nearer to God when I'm out in creation than almost anywhere else.
5. If you had an expert personal assistant today, what would you have them do?
Strip all the beds, wash the bedding, and then remake the beds. I've had a houseful for over a week and all the guest beds now need changing. All the guest beds are downstairs and my laundry is upstairs so there's no way I can knock that out in a boot. I'm trying really hard not to go up and down the stairs so hubs will be my personal assistant this week in terms of laundry.
Also, the next several weeks.
Also driving, putting things on high shelves, getting things from the lower level garage frig, vacuuming and more. Hi hubs!
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Who went shopping on Amazon Prime Day? What did you buy that I need to know about?
