The "Sometimes" Meme: All you have to do is finish the sentence...
Sometimes I just need: a shot of caffeine
Sometimes I want: a little more alone time
Sometimes I like to: pamper myseslf (massage, pedi, etc.)
Sometimes all it takes: is guts
Sometimes I picture: my best friend back here with me
Sometimes I wish: I was better organized
Sometimes I find: earrings under my dresser
Sometimes I take: too long in the shower
Sometimes I look: like a fat pigeon
Sometimes I hate: the people in the health club locker room (Do your iPod, water bottle and dirty towel REALLY need to take up so much space on the bench that I can't sit down?)
Sometimes it’s nice: to have a drink at lunch (shhh!)
Sometimes it hurts: to think of how my mom has aged since her illness earlier this year
Sometimes it makes me happy: to put other people first
Sometimes it’s sad: to see how different -- how much uglier -- John McCain is as a candidate than he was as Senator ("straight talk," my ass). So disappointing. I hope for the nation's sake that he can put that hateful "domestic terrorist" genie back in the bottle.
Sometimes I listen: to real crap on my iPod (like the Partridge Family) and hope that the person sitting next to me on the el doesn't identify it
Sometimes I sleep: on the sofa
Sometimes I like to watch: Batman reruns. They're a riot. (POW! ZAP!) I just forget when they're on.
Sometimes I feel: so much younger than my age that I wonder where the years have gone
Sometimes I rant: about religious intolerance. Some noisier members of the hellfire-and-brimstone Religious Right seem to be perverting my faith, which is dear to me, and it makes me NUTS!
Sometimes I never: want to talk to anyone all weekend and just be a hermit from Friday PM to Monday AM
Sometimes I really: wish I could end up in the ladies' room lounge with Don Draper (sigh). If you're a fan of Mad Men, you know where his hand is. It's enough to make a gal start wearing skirts again.

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.
I love your answers. Many of them could be mine.
ReplyDeleteAll of these are great but I love your rant answer.
ReplyDeleteMy kid was in a Batman frame of mind yesterday. Zap! Pow! Too funny. No Partridge Family, though. Did you hear they're doing a remake? 1 question: WHY?

Batman reruns are fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteOh Miss - I have Partrige Family songs on my Ipod too. That's okay, it balances out the Godsmack I have on there also.
ReplyDeleteI love these oosts - I get to know you a bit better.
