Here's today's Manic Monday meme. My boss is reviewing my work from last week, and I'm hoping that a fresh Monday meme will distract me from being nervous.
Which personality trait has gotten you into the most trouble? I can be very insensitive. Like my mom, I blurt. We both say things that we believe are self evident, and later find out they aren't. For example: I once asked a lover, who was about 5'5", if it bothered him that he wasn't tall. He looked completely stricken. I was so sorry.
If you had to gain 10 pounds what would you eat to gain the weight? Burgers. Or pizza. Or perhaps I'd combine them and have a pizza with a ground beef topping.
How is your private self different from your public self? Because I'm pretty deft with words, people think I'm confident. No, I'm just clever. There's a difference. I'm as (or perhaps more) wracked with self doubt as the next gal. Especially about my looks.
For more information, or to join the mania yourself, visit Manic Monday.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Very interesting...this must have been difficult to write about. I put my foot in my mouth lots of tiems. I've kind of been working on behaviour modification for years ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI try to stay calm and think first at parties...ya kno?
Good meme.
I would eat burgers to gain weight in fact I'm starting to want a burger right now with bacon and cheese and mushrooms yikes!
I'll fight you for that pizza, LOL! Aw, that poor, short guy - I've done things like that, too. I'm getting better as I get older, though. Happy MM!

Are we related? B/c seriously these all fit me, but add in some sarcasm to the personality trait.
ReplyDeleteAnd for the pizza thing....remember 30 years ago when you could eat 1/2 of a pizza without a thought? Miss those days.
Okay, I'm not sure I have any idea what "deft" even means and I know for certain I have never used it - you're pretty clever and smart. Take care, Kellan
ReplyDeleteI have a great recipe for a bacon cheeseburger pizza someplace
