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.

Saturday 9
Saturday 9: Rain
1. What do you typically like to do on a rainy day? Stay dry! Especially my feet. Having to endure soggy socks and shoes is just soooo icky.
2. Tell us about the last time you did something you later regretted, that you can share with us. Last night I dozed off on the sofa and then had a terrible time trying to get back to sleep.
3. I recently got an email from a lover from a very long time ago. I was asked "Have all your dreams come true?" If it were you and it was from someone you remember fondly, how would you answer the question? I'd say, "No, but I'm pretty happy. How about you?"
4. If you had a job interview and was asked, "If you were an animal, what kind would you be (other than human?)" How would you answer that question. I'd be a cat. I'm independent and don't require much supervision.
5. Do you think it is a good idea to share with a new lover stories of your past lovers? At times. More than once I have wanted a new lover to understand that he's unfortunately paying for the sins of a predecessor. I hope he understands it and is willing to support me as I try to work through my issues.
6. When do you think it is permissible or even important to lie? To save someone's feelings. Especially upon receiving a gift.
7. What was the last thing you did that you never thought you would? I bought a new bathing suit.
8. What is one important lesson that you learned from your mother? That pets are members of the family to be treated with love and respect.
9. What is one important lesson that you learned from your father? American history is fascinating and fun.
#1 have experienced that while hiking in the rain. #4 my initial answer was cat but changed it into something else. I just love cats:D have a good weekend.

You and I will be cats together. I'm pretty sure I'm one now. hehe
ReplyDeleteI am not above a white lie, esp if someone's feelings are involved and it's not of major consequence.
"Great answers" btw! hahah
Gee my mom to torture the pets. :) Great job today...
ReplyDeleteYour #1 is sooo true. I really only had problems with that while in school but I hated it!
ReplyDeleteI like what you learned from your mom. It bugs me when people say animals are just animals and therefore subpar treatment is okay.
Great answer for #8...which is why I said my dog for #4...she's very much my first baby and she's pretty spoiled! Happy Saturday!
ReplyDeleteI do think it's important to spare people's feelings by lying sometimes. I completely agree with you.
