Today, as I do every Wednesday (almost!!!), I am joining in with Terri for her Wednesday Medley!!!
Who knew!?!?! Terri's husband is Joe...he has his own National Day?!?! WOW!!!!
If you're interested in a little 'Joe' trivia, just click here!
If you want to join in...copy the questions below and head over to Terri's blog and add your link! I am sure she would love to have you join in!!!
Who is your favorite "Joe/Jo" and what can you tell us about him or her?
Who were you named for, and do you or did you know that person?
Do you have a middle name and do you like it/use it?
Yes, My middle name is Marie...it is the same as my mother's. I love when people roll it all together and call me Ann Marie (the doctors office does this - HA).
Have you ever named your car? Tell us about it, please!
Nope - never...not sure why not though.
Share something random with us about your week.
I am back to work after vacation. It is Wednesday but it feels like it should be Friday by now! UGH! Days drag after vacation! Also, I am still coughing and congested and not feeling 100%. I drag my butt through the day but can't wait to climb into bed when I get home!!!!
I hope health is around the corner soon!!!! Fingers crossed!
I hope you all have a wonderful day - come on over and join us at Terri's! I love reading everyone's answers and I need all the entertainment I can get! HA!
If no one has told you they love you today, let me be the first! Hugs to you all!
I keep meaning to get around to reading Eleanor Oliphant, but haven't got there yet. I agree the week is dragging. Tomorrow is my day off, which will help, but not much since this is my weekend to work coming up. Whoopie. Not. Looks like it's going to be a beautiful day in our corner of the world so I hope you can get out and it helps you feel a bit better!
ReplyDeleteThanks Stacy! It was really nice just to see the sun shining through the windows at work today! I think you will love Eleanor!! Enjoy your day off...sorry you have to work this weekend though but I think I heard rain all weekend so you are not missing pretty weather! Have a great day tomorrow - HUGS!
DeleteI have been eyeing the Elinor Oliphant book at Target...now I may have to purchase it. Thanks for the recommendation.
ReplyDeleteI really think you will love it Arlene! Such a great read! Have a great day - HUGS
DeleteI so remember having to go back to work after a wonderful vacation. That first week drags by indeed.
ReplyDeleteI hope you feel better soon. Being sick really sucks.
Have a fabulous day. ♥
Right Sandee?!?! Everyday is like an eternity!!! HA! Thank you for the healing wishes! Have a fantastic day! Hugs
DeleteDays drag with no vacation too Anne. :-)
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic point Margaret!! Probably even more so I should not complain!! I think more than anything it is the atmosphere at work...once you hear your site is closing and it is only a matter of time until you will be unemployed...it tends to bum everyone out. The atmosphere is blahhhh but I am trying to keep it whoop whoop!! Not an easy task - HA! Have a wonderful week Margaret!
DeleteCool! My mom's name was Josephine and I was named after my grandma - look at stuff we have in common!
ReplyDeleteI've read "Eleanor Oliphant..." too. Love the deadpan humor!
Hang in there, Ann Marie, it's hump day.
Yay to hump day!!! Thanks for the encouragement Abby! That is so cool that your mother was Josephine! I love the name...really hope your healing happens quickly!!! Hugs
DeleteWell, I did comment, it gave me a strange message about a boo boo and then said my comment was published, which it did not. Anyway, AnnMarie, I love your enthusiasm and think you are a person who loves life and laughs a lot! Do you remember Marlo Thomas had a TV show called That Girl, in which her character was also AnnMarie.
ReplyDeleteLOL - I used to love that show!!!! I definitely remember her! I am glad this one published as I love to hear from you Nonnie!!! Thanks for the compliment - I try hard to focus on positives whenever possible! Hugs to you - have a great week!
Deleteah hope you feel better asap!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Jessi!!! Have a lovely day! Hugs
Deletesorry to hear you are not feeling well. thanks for your comment today and you are blessed to be a heavy sleeper. I have been a light sleeper my whole life. a gnat sneezing or a mosquito buzzing wakes me up. the only Joe I love is my cup of joe, which is coffee. yes, have had several cars named. Ugs, The Silver Bullet, Jimmy, James. none right now though.
ReplyDeletefrom age 12 until forever I loved Tarzan. I read Tarzan and the city of gold until it fell apart.
LOL Sandra! How did I ever forget Joe "as in cup of Joe"??? I live for my coffee! Thanks for the reminder...I could NOT do life without him!!! I love the name silver bullet (I may have to steal that one for my Honda) HA HA! Have a fantastic week! Hugs!
DeleteThat's another book to add to my reading list. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteYes Cathy! I think you will love it - I read it quickly too - it is not a long read! Thanks for the healing wishes - have a fantastic day!
DeleteHave a great week and thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteAww sorry you're still not fully recovered. Friday is almost here so hang in there. Love that book! I laughed at your answer about Anne of Green Gables - I'm not Wendy from Peter Pan either lol
ReplyDeleteLOL Wendy! Thanks for the kind words! I am waiting with baited breath for FRIDAY!!! Have a great day!
DeleteI was just going to remark on Marlo Thomas' old sitcom -- her being called AnnMarie -- and that Nonnie beat me to the punch! On Terri's recommendation I downloaded Eleanor Oliphant, but haven't begun reading it yet.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! You will love it I think! So we all loved That Girl!!! HA HA! Have a great day! Hugs
DeleteI had an uncle Joe and an aunt Jo. I don't even know for sure what my aunts full name was, it was always just aunt jo.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Isn't that funny? We never even think to ask these things at the time. Were Uncle Joe and Aunt Jo married? That would have been really cute!!!! Have a great day Ann! HUGS
Delete❤️
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful day Regine! HUGS
DeleteMy mom had a neighbor named Joanne when I was growing up. They kept in touch even after our families moved apart. My mom passed away in 2005 and now I keep in touch with Joanne. She's a great lady. My youngest daughter named her first car Gus. It was a red Toyota Camry and she loved that thing!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great name for a car - Gus!!! I love it! Isn't it fun to remember those people that had such an impact on our lives and the lives of our families!?!? Terri always comes up with the best Medleys! Have a fantastic week Cindy!!! HUGS
DeleteYES!!! I was on Spring Break last week and this week is dragging for me too! I felt awake today though. I did not on Monday or Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteThank-you for sharing your Jo's! I love these questions.
So....my last name is Ray...so Lori Ray. Many people at work call me Lori Ray...like it is a first and middle name. I guess I am just far enough south...but my dad always called me Lori Lynn. I have always answered to 2 names...hahahaha I love the name Anne Marie! Loved your answers! Have a nice week.

Lori Lynn just sounds so cute! You are like me...short first and last name (I am Ann Wolfe). Gave us a little head start in kindergarten when others were trying to spell Stephanie or Franchesca! Their first names are longer than all of ours combined! HA HA! Thanks for coming by - have a fantastic day Lori Lynn Ray!!!
DeleteFeel better, my friend!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd for the record...I have no middle name.
Billie Jo. Named after my Daddy!
Nice! No one better to be named after than your father! Thanks for the kind healing wishes...I think today may be the first time I have NO congestion! Yippee!!!! Have a great day Billie Jo!
DeleteI did read Eleanor Oliphant a long time ago. It is a great book! Thanks for joining the Medley today!! I enjoyed all of your answers!
ReplyDeleteThanks Terri! I am happy to know you enjoyed it also. I really loved it and the character so much! Thanks for hosting! Happy Joe Day to Joe! HUGS
