We have tickets to one Blue Jackets game in November, to see my husband's favorite team, the Montreal Canadiens. Also looking forward to his birthday, which happens to be right at Thanksgiving.
6-7 is not a word, and since it doesn't have a real meaning, it's kind of a dumb choice for "word" of the year. One of the stupider trendy things some of the kids are saying, and I'm kind of hearing that the kids are getting tired of it, so that makes it an even more ridiculous choice for "word" of the year, if it's already past being popular. I don't know what I would suggest instead, but something that has a meaning and had a slightly longer shelf life would be good.
3. What's a food, trend, activity, or thing people love but you think is just so-so?
Pumpkin spice lattes. Don't come for me! It's just not my favorite. Or my 'cup of tea'. If it makes you feel any better, I don't particularly care for peppermint mocha lattes either, and that season is almost upon us.
I rarely drink hot tea, but I do like iced tea. My favorite is iced chai. I choose sweet tea a lot during summer afternoons and evenings. During the colder months, I occasionally like a hot herbal tea or hot chai in the evening. When it comes to hot drinks, I prefer coffee unless I'm feeling a little under the weather, or my throat is a bit scratchy. Then a nice herbal tea with honey or a hot chai feels so comforting.
1) Actually singing! Singing with others genuinely makes my heart sing too. 2) Hugs from my loved ones. I'm not much of a hugger in general, but the big bear hugs from my sons, the sweet hugs from my daughter, the boisterous or cuddly hugs from my granddaughters . . . can't get enough! 3) A gorgeous sunrise or sunset. Provided I'm not being forced to squint at it while driving directly towards it.
I came out of semi-retirement from posting reviews to participate in the review and giveaway promotion for the Peace of God Bible. I enjoy doing these kinds of reviews, but I don't do them often any more because the social media campaign isn't my cup of tea these days. All that said, I'm glad I did this one because it really is a beautiful Bible and I do get to give one away as well.

While I'm promoting my own stuff, here's my reminder about the current Wednesday Quotes link-up which you can find here: WQ - Stargazing. Our topic this time around is Night Skies/Stargazing. Stop by and share a few thoughts and quotes! A new Everyday Images photo link-up is coming tomorrow, and I'm still short one photo for a prompt that was more challenging than I expected!
What's your cup of tea? Leave a comment and let me know!
Oh I had to giggle at your comment about sunsets; I like them too but definitely not when they are blinding me while driving. This time of year that seems to happen more than usual. I don't drink pumpkin spice lattes or peppermint mocha lattes either; though I know that last one is my mom's favorite.
ReplyDeleteIt seems I'm doomed to either drive directly into a sunrise or a sunset on my commutes at certain times of the year! I do like the peppermint mocha hot cocoa, but in my opinion it's much too sweet for a coffee drink. The gingerbread or eggnog lattes are much better, in my opinion. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteIt sounds like you have some lovely plans for November.
ReplyDeleteI like Pumpkin spice lattes but only at the start of Autumn, now I am all about the Christmas drinks. hehehe
Your answers for question #5 did make me smile.
I do like Christmas flavored lattes and coffees, as long as they aren't TOO sweet, and the peppermint mocha is definitely too sweet for me. Glad you got a smile from my answers! Your sweet comments always make me smile - thank you!
DeleteWe were talking yesterday about how the sunset at its brightest this time of year seems to hit just at eye level. I will pop over for your photo prompts. I missed the last ones. It's been busy here, which I say too much, but October was full. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing your photos - thanks for planning to link up! And thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteYes, to singing for the makes my heart sing answer. Singing has been a big part of our lives and it is even how Greg and I met. I'm cracking up at your gifs for the lattes! Too funny. I'm linking up to your everyday images now...
ReplyDeleteSinging and making music is a huge part of my life and that's true for our whole family, I think. Glad you enjoyed those memes! Thanks for stopping by and commenting, and for joining in at Everyday Images!
DeleteI didn't even have one PSL this year. I don't love them either.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who isn't a HUGE fan. LOL Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteLots of hockey coming up - I love it!! We are hoping to see our Stars again soon. With my son’s hockey schedule, it’s hard to make it to a game. We went a couple of weeks ago and had so much fun. I love your gratitude list, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteI love all the hockey, but it can be a challenge to fit it into the schedule. The quarter-season package for the Blue Jackets works out just about right for us. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteI'm not fond of mint and chocolate so I'm assuming that would be like Peppermint and Mocha, right? I like pumpkin pie spice in a pie or pumpkin bread, but I've never had a PSL!
ReplyDeleteYes, that's peppermint mocha - it's just too sweet for my liking. And I feel the same about pumpkin pie spices. I love them, just not necessarily in my coffe. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteI actually texted my granddaughter to find out how to us 6-7 in a sentence. She said it's just a filler for when you don't have anything to say...a bit like the kids used to say, "Whatever." I agree it shouldn't be in a dictionary at all, let alone word of the year. Who makes these choices (also colors of the year)? I am not a coffee drinker of any kind so I've never even tasted pumpkin spice latte. But, I only like pumpkin bread and cake. I don't even like pumpkin pie. I like hot tea and really need to drink more of that instead of all the Diet Coke I consume. I agree about sunsets because it's now the time of day when I have to drive to church for meetings. And, I have to drive west!

Yes, your granddaughter's description of 6-7 is spot on - why would we make a meaningless filler the 'word of the year'? How silly.
DeleteAs beautiful as those sunsets and sunrises are, it is a challenge when they are right at the horizon I'm driving towards! First world problems, I suppose?
