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 Alpha Meme
My roommate and I once: had cookies and milk before bed. Since moving out of my parents' home (where I had my own room), I have never shared living quarters with anyone. So I am referring to a weekend getaway to Vegas about 3 years ago. My oldest friend and I were staying at the Riviera, and they actually had cookies and milk on the room service menu. I thought that was neat.
Never in my life have I: had a roommate
High school was: yucky!
When I’m nervous: talk (even) faster.
My hair: is thick and healthy … and I'm glad.
When I was 5: I had three great loves -- my Lassie dog (a plush toy who now resides in my closet), Billy (the "boy" next door who was a mere 22 years my senior), and Little Joe Cartwright (Michael Landon).
When I turn my head left: I see my bathroom.
I should be: doing a little housework instead of blogging.
By this time next year: 20 pounds lighter. (I am so gonna lose that weight!)
My favorite aunt is: my only aunt. I owe her an email.
I have a hard time understanding: The Obama Birther Controversy.
You know I like you if: I spend time with you (on the phone, online or -- gasp! -- in person). As I get older, I'm more selective about who gets into my life.
My ideal breakfast is: eaten out so I have no preparation and no dishes.
If you visit my home town: be sure to stop by Five Guys for a burger.
If you spend the night at my house: you'd better not be allergic to cats.
The animal I would like to see flying besides birds: a squirrel who talks and wears goggles.
I shouldn’t have been: so lazy about my exercise and daily diet.
Last night I: thoroughly enjoyed that extra innings Cubs win.
A better name for me would be: Lazy Bones (sleeping in the sun, how you 'spect to get your day's worth done?)
I’ve been told I look like: Julie from The Love Boat.
If I could have any car, it would be: chauffeur driven and valet parked.
I wish I had your hair! Mine's thin and falls out thanks to my thyroid.
ReplyDeleteGreat answers this week. Have a wonderful Sunday :)
ReplyDeleteI like your car. Who cares what it is if you don't have to worry about driving.
ReplyDeleteI wish I thought of your ideal car! That's perfect. :-D
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on the You Know I Like You If - although I prefer your description of "selective" as you get older - all this time I thought I was just being too lazy to bother ;0)
