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.

Chinese Freeze tag- 10 Interesting Facts about me
I was tagged by JennyMcb (right) of J's Thoughts and Musings (jennymcb.blogspot.com) and I need to tell 10 interesting facts about myself. This can be something shocking or anything that may become a surprise to people! So have fun here goes...
(I shall parallel Jenny's 10)
1. I was always one of the shortest in my class. I tell people I'm 5'2, but it's not true. Anything less than that, though, just doesn't sound like an adult to me.
2. I am hooked on Turbo 21 at pogo.com
3. I'm not at all tech-savvy, which is why you never see links in any of my posts.
4. I miss the olden days when enormous Judith Light/Who's the Boss glasses were in vogue. My sight is so bad and the new frames are so narrow that I don't trust my peripheral vision and am unsure of myself on stairs.
5. I won $10 in a creative writing contest when I was in third grade. It was for a paragraph about my teacher, Mrs. Kessell.
6. I have never shoplifted anything.
7. I have an irrational dislike for Scarlett Johannsen.
8. I regularly receive certificates from the Illinois Secretary of State, applauding my perfect driving record. Since I don't have a car, my record is not hard to maintain.
9. I cannot recall the last time I cried in front of anyone.
10. I'm not a big one for participating in church. It's a very personal experience between me and God. I don't feel like mingling afterwards.
Now if you haven't checked out Jenny's list, do so now so you can compare and contrast.
