Wednesday Hodgepodge

From this Side of the Pond

1. When someone finds out what you do or where you're from, what's a question they always ask? 

When speaking, people can usually tell where I am from.  You got that 'hick' accent and your words are drawn out so you are from the South.
The question ICo get asked about my job is: "How on earth do you do that this day and time with no discipline?" 

2. Did you participate in 'Greek Life' when you were in college, or have children who did? If so what was your experience like? Taking another tack...have you ever been to Greece? If not, is that a destination on your bucket list? 

Yes, I participated in 'Greek Life' but my girls did not.  One of the best experiences of life was joining/pledging a sorority.  To this day, I can call a sorority sister for encouragement , to celebrate with me, or  just to vent...same as in college. Just like when I was in college, my sorority sisters still care for each other .   A close knit bond between girls and ladies that lasts beyond the college years.
I have never been to Greece and would love to go!

3. Do you like Greek food? If so what's your favorite dish?  
 
I guess, if Gyros count.  A dish I kinda like is Moussaka.  

4. What incredibly common thing have you never done? 

Cook a huge meal for a family get-together!!!

I have never been on a cruise till this past summer.  I have never been to a music festival.  I have been to concerts but not a music festival.  This might be something I add to my bucket list.

5. What is a telltale sign that you're upset? 

The loudness of my voice raises ten octaves higher and my heart beats faster. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

The weather now is beginning to feel like 'sweater weather'   There is a chill in the air which also means football time!  I love watching college football...not so much NFL.

This past weekend, I attended a memorial service for one of my dear friends (college roommate, sorority sister, girls' trip gang, etc.).  I am keenly aware, that as hard as it was, I was blessed to have known you.  You are happier than me left here on earth.  I can't imagine the reunion and celebration as you were met by your dear husband and daughter.


Have a great week and Enjoy Life!
