I guess the last occasion we celebrated was Independence Day. My dad's birthday was earlier this week, but since we weren't with Dad we didn't really celebrate, but I'd sent a card and birthday message.
I think of the characters in cartoons and children's stories - Tigger from Winnie-the-Pooh, Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes, Tony the Tiger representing Frosted Flakes, and Daniel Striped Tiger from Mr Rogers' Neighborhood.

3. The expression 'eye of the tiger' describes someone with intense focus, determination, and the drive to succeed. What area of your life are you currently bringing that kind of energy to?
I'm trying to bring that energy to chorus as we prepare for International this fall. As I've mentioned before, being consistent and disciplined is where I struggle, and the same is true when it comes to bring the 'eye of the tiger' every day to my rehearsing and memorizing. But the goal is helping SVC to an international title on our home turf this October, and it's worth bringing the energy to that goal!
Wow, I have to go back a bit! We ate out on the weekend, and I wasn't home for dinner on Monday or Tuesday, so I think the last meal I cooked was Friday? Even that meal wasn't entirely my work, as my husband was home recovering from his surgery, so he did some of it. We had smoked salmon, rice pilaf, and peas.
Hot. Expensive. New house busy-ness.
Wow, this is one of the shortest Hodgepodge posts I've ever written! Usually I'm so wordy! It's been a busy few days as we had a full weekend that included a Saturday chorus workshop, lunch out on Sunday and then a visit to the Jazz & Rib Fest, and then SVC singing the anthem at the Columbus Clippers game last night.
What are you bringing energy to this week? Leave a comment and let me know!
I host the Wednesday Quotes link-up every other Wednesday. Stop by and share a few thoughts and quotes on the current topic here: WQ - Sunrise. I host the Everyday Images photo link-up every other Thursday. And find the Scripture and a Snapshot link-up here every Sunday.
The Jazz and Rib fest - now that sounds interesting! I hope all the new house busyness has fun and exciting...not stressful! Hope you are having a good week!
ReplyDeletewe were there for the ribs and bbq, but enjoyed the jazz we heard in passing. LOL Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteHappy birthday to your dad.
ReplyDeleteI said Tigger from Winnie the Pooh too and since then I thought of Tony the Tiger but here in the UK the Frosted Flakes are called Frosties. hehehe
What a weekend you had! Fab photos!
I think a great many of us thought of Tigger (and maybe Tony) and other fictional tigers. LOL

Sometimes short and sweet is all you need. It sounds like you had a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes, the weekend was full of good things! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteThe choral competition sounds exciting. My cooking has been sporadic this summer too. I'm lacking motivation. Hope the settling in is going well!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the competition! And not looking forward to doing any cooking. LOL It is hard to stay motivated during the hottest part of the summer, I find. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteI haven't been motivated to cook in quite a while. Our appetites have changed in the last couple years, so if we have a nice lunch/brunch, we aren't really hungry for an evening meal. The choral competition sounds exciting. Keep us posted on how it goes.
ReplyDeleteYes, we are moving towards lighter dinners, especially since dinner is more often later in the evening. It's probably healthier overall for us to eat the larger meal earlier in the day.
DeleteThere will definitely be updates on the chorus here as we get closer to competition!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
My hodgepodge posts are usually pretty short, lol!
ReplyDeleteI usually intend to keep mine short and wind up rambling on. LOL Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
DeleteI love the Hobbes at the museum!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun little museum and I'm sorry we haven't been back in all the time we've lived in the Columbus area.
DeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting!
Late to the commenting party...again...ugh. Enjoyed your answers.
ReplyDeleteI hope the choral competition goes well! July was a big month for you guys with getting your new house. I can see how the month was expensive! I was very not wordy the Hodgepodge previous to this one- the nice thing is it's no big deal to be wordy or not :).
