If you play, too, let me know so I can compare answers.
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'm borrowing this one!
ReplyDeleteAll 20 verses of American Pie??? I'm duly impressed!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed that! I love to sing American Pie. At my 2nd wedding reception my bride and I led the entire room. Hope your cold gets better...
ReplyDeleteI played! (It's part of my Wednesday 100 series so technically, I'm cheating.)
ReplyDeleteI love these kinds of things because they give you a quick snapshot of the person (in this case, you!)
