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
Sunday Stealing: The Green Meme
1. What is your current obsession? Getting back into shape. I didn't expect to be thinking of it as much as I am.
2. What’s a good coffee place? I don't drink coffee. Sorry.
3. Who was the last person that you hugged? Dave, one of the art directors at work.
4. Do you nap a lot? I only nap on weekends.
5. Tonight, what’s for dinner? It's Easter, the first holiday that has my niece (a high school sophomore) taking over the cooking chores. I know we're having quiche, a broccoli dish and ham. The rest will be a surprise. She's very excited and serious about this.
6. What was the last thing that you bought? Chocolate covered strawberries. (I'm in charge of dessert for Easter dinner.)
7. What is your favorite weather? I love those perfect transitional days in spring and fall -- 65ยบ or so and sunny and dry and filled with promise of the days to come.
8. Tell us something about one blogger who you think will play this week? Kwizgiver has a new puppy in her life.

17. What do you fear the most? Plane crash.
18. What’s the best movie that you’ve seen recently? Duplicity. It didn't get great reviews, but I enjoyed it.

20. Is there a comfort food from your childhood that you still enjoy? Hot chocolate with little marshmallows.

ReplyDeleteThe strawberries sound great. Send me some? Happy Easter! Enjoy your niece's cooking...
ReplyDeleteYour current obsession with getting healthier has planted a seed with me, too. I'm in the figuring phase--figuring out which gym to join.

Mimi is on vacation in parts unknown. She said to come by and wish you a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteP.S. She left me no food. This post made me hungry.
Happy Sunday Stealing.
