THE GAL HERSELF I've been writing this blog for nearly a year now, and have undoubtedly (unintentionally) revealed much about myself. So my challenge was to unearth some fresh information for you all. 1. I only move my lips, I don't really sing, at church because I am completely tone deaf. For me, karaoke would be an evening in hell. 2. I can wiggle my ears. 3. I can't wear high heels because of my heel spurs. I suppose that's why I'm so into pedicures. I'm trying to "prettify" my damaged feet. 4. I'm a purse-a-holic. When I'm sad, I must resist the impulse to cheer myself up with another bag. I try never to carry the same purse more than 3 days in a row. I have been late for work because I was changing bags. 5. My favorite color is blue. 6. I have never smoked anything … not even a cigarette. 7. The smell of coffee makes me a little sick. 8. The character in The Breakfast Club that's most like my high school self is Ally Sheedy. I even had a coat with a snorkel hood. 9. Both of my sisters are dark eyed and tan easily. I'm green-eyed and am, in the words of my dermatologist, "as fair as they come." Consequently I grew up believing I was adopted. 10. I maintain my driver's license, even though I haven't actually driven any real distance since the Reagan Administration. 11. I love old, black and white movies, especially with Judy Garland, Katharine Hepburn or Myrna Loy. 12. My cat Charlotte snores. 13. When alone, I drink Arbor Mist Strawberry Zinfandel. However, since wine connoisseurs intimidate and I suspect it's crap, I keep this to myself. Links to other Thursday Thirteens! 1.

Hee hee! I enjoyed your list. I don't wear high heels either because they hurt -- never could stand 'em. And I have a snoring white cat whose name is Marilyn MonREOW! :-D
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, black and white movies -- I forgot about Myrna Loy and Judy Garland for my TT this week, but yup, they were fabulous. :)
Happy TT, and thank you for visiting my blog!
I so have to bookmark you, for someone to say they lipsync in church and enjoy arbour mist strawberry zinfinadel, you gotta love it!
ReplyDeleteBreakfast club is one of my all time favorites and I would be Ally, but a little less dark, still insecure!
Thanks for stopping by!
It's nice to 'meet' a fellow Chicago-an in her 40's! I'm from a suburb of Chicago, but I agree, it is the best city. In the States, anyway. It's challenging being different from the rest of your family, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteGreat list LOL! I don't have a cat, but my dogs snore. :-)
ReplyDeleteHappy TT!
My favourite colour is blue too, and no one should care what wine snobs think! I like to drink supermarket burgundy.
ReplyDeleteI love heels, but don't wear them much anymore, due to hip replacement. And, I love old movies!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Thursday Thirteen
I never wear high heels, because I'm too stinkin' tall already! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd I LOVE that Arbor Mist...but I suspect you are right about the snob thing.
Here from TT! :D Nice to meet you!
This is a nice list...I so wanted to know that you have heel spurs. LOL! I enjoyed this. See you next week!
ReplyDeletePrior to reading you list, I suspected I need help when it comes to purses! I think I'm developing purse dependancy issues. I've gone from never carrying one to now owning 5 with two more in my sites. I feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one.
ReplyDeleteTerrific Thursday Thirteen!
ReplyDeleteMy TT is posted.
Have a wonderful day!
Happy TT'ing!

I can completely sympathise about coffee. Especially the really expensive smelly coffee that people spend time enjoying the aroma of.
ReplyDeleteOh how I envy you #6!! And I have a cat who occasionally snores too *g* thanks for stopping by
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your list too. I am tone deaf as well. It is a shame too. I would love to be able to sing well.
ReplyDeleteWow on the purse thing..lol I hate purse shopping. I only buy them when one falls apart..lol
Happy TT :)
lol i love your list :-) My dog, Wolf, snores, too!
ReplyDeleteGreat reveals!!
ReplyDeleteI can wiggle my ears too! I did a poll once on my blog that revealed that only about 25% of people can wiggle their ears!
LOL about changing your purse and being late for work.
I like Strawberry Zinfandel too! Especially on a hot summer day!
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving the great comment on my Itty Bitty TT!
