Happy Wednesday, friends! It’s time for Joyce‘s Wednesday Hodgepodge linkup. Let’s do this!! Here are this week’s questions with my answers in italics.
1. I saw a meme on Instagram that went like this-‘The movie Dirty Dancing came out in 1987 and was set in 1963, so if remade in 2026 it would be set in 2002. Now I need a little lie down in a dark room for a while.”
Time is crazy isn’t it? So…what were you up to in the year 2002?
I was in my first & second year of college in 2002. I was still Pre-Med at that time.
2. “Me? I’m scared of everything…” What’s something that scares you that you’d like to try anyway?
Honestly, I don’t feel scared when I think about it, but it is something scary….skydiving, and “swimming” with sharks. Yes, I know I’m crazy, but I would like to try both of those things.
3. Watermelon-yay or nay? Which melon is your favorite-watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew. Of the watermelon food/beverages listed which would you say yes to…
watermelon salsa~watermelon feta salad~watermelon sorbet~a watermelon Jolly Rancher~a watermelon margarita
It’s not that I would say no to the watermelon feta salad but if there are other choices, I’m going to say yes to them first.
4. August 12th is National Middle Child Day. Are you a middle child? If not, where do you fall in the birth order in your family of origin? Do you think this has influenced your personality? Elaborate.
I am not a middle child. I am the first. I don’t think it affects my personality at all.
5. Would you rather talk to everyone at a crowded party for a short time, or have a significant conversation with two people? Explain.
I’m an introvert (well, omnivert, but lean more introverted). Let’s talk to everyone for a short period of time to get the socializing over with so that I can go back home.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
I started a job Monday!!!!

Congrats on the job! I hope it’s going well and you enjoy the work. No desire to sky dive! A friend dove with the sharks (he was in a cage of some sort) and his videos were terrifying. The shark came right up to the cage with its mouth wide open. Terrific pictures, but not sure I’d be able to handle it in person.
Swimming with sharks and skydiving would both be a hard no from me.
I love your take on socializing at a party! Very practical. I’m an omnivert that leans extrovert, but I have definitely been in social settngs where I just wanted to meet my obligations to speak to the people I had to so that I could leave. LOL
Congrats on the new job and I hope it goes very well!
