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.

Sunday Stealing #18
1) What was your dream growing up? To be Mrs. Paul McCartney.
2) What talent do you wish you had? I wish I could sing.
3) If I bought you a drink what would it be? Caipirinha. I love them, but they're too hard to mix mysef.
4) What was the last book you read? Boy Meets Girl by Meg Cabot. It was OK.
5) Worst habit? Right now, Trader Joe's mini pumpkin spice whoopee pies.
6) If you saw me walking down the street would you offer me a ride? No. I don't have a car, and you're too big to fit in my purse.
7) What is your favorite sport? Chicago Cubs baseball. (If you have to ask, you're new here.)
8) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator with me? Wait patiently for us to be rescued, and hope you do the same.
9) Worst thing to ever happen to you? I wasted too much time on a relationship that was not worth it, and the expense was very high.
10) Tell me one weird fact about you. I was born at the stroke of midnight. Turns out that's legally unacceptable, so my mother got choose my birthday -- 12:01 AM, November 22.

12) If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? My weight.
13) Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? Depends on the circumstance.
14) Ever been arrested? No.
15) If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? Pay down my condo. I know, I know, it's dull. But I'd love to know that, no matter what happens with the economy or the job market, I won't end up living in a big old Kenmore refrigerator box on Lower Wacker Drive.
16) Favorite thing to do in your spare time? If I'm alone, indulge in mind candy TV. Or I enjoy blabbing with friends.

19) Do you believe in/appreciate romance? Yes. In spite of it all.
20) Who wins today: Arizona or Pittsburgh? Steelers. I can, in no way, under any circumstances, cheer for any team with the name "Cardinals." It's a Cubs thing.
Interesting story about your birth. Weird that you can't be born at midnight, LOL!
ReplyDeleteThese were great answers.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that about midnight births!
ReplyDeleteIf your mother had been thinking ahead a few decades she should have declared it neither and you would have never have birthday blues.
ReplyDeleteWhose gonna argue with a woman who just gave birth?
Certainly not I.
Psst! Mimi! I read your responses to my interview and I loved them. I'll comment more tomorrow, but today I'm downloading iPod software and it's made my modem sooooo slooooow and the "comments" lik on your blog times out before I can respond formally.
ReplyDeleteYou better hurry with Paul. They say he's about to get married again. And some trivia: Arizona was original in Chicago before St. Louis. They were the Chicago Carinals because the owner bought used red jerseys....
ReplyDeleteI've been indulging in mind candy this afternoon...
