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 Tell Me About Yourself Meme
1. When is your birthday? November 22. I am still celebrating, in case you wish to get me something.
2. Where were you born? Elgin, Illinois
3. Where do you live now? Just outside Chicago
4. What is your heritage? German and Irish
5. Tell us about a weakness. Pogo. Currently Boggle Bash.
6. What's a goal that you'd like to achieve? Rid myself of so much of the paper around here! Sometimes I think my home is a paper plantation.
7. What is the most overused internet phrase? LOL or LMAO or any variation thereof.
8. What was your first thought this morning? "Is it Saturday or Sunday?"
9. When do you usually go to bed? Around midnight
10. Do you smoke? If not, did you ever? Never even tried it.
11. Do you like your current relationship status? At times.
12. Do you (or did you) get along with your parents? At times.
13. How often do you drink alcohol? Two or three times a week.
14. Have you ever tried drugs (that weren't prescribed)? Yes.
15. Have you ever gone skinny dipping? If yes, do tell. No.
16. If given the choice, how would you like to die? Suddenly, and with no time to worry. Hit by a speeding car would be fine.
17. What did you want to be when you grew up? Taller. Yuk, yuk. Get it?
18. Have you ever been dumped? Yes. It is not fun. If you have never been dumped, you're really not missing anything.
19. What's on your pizza? Plain cheese is good. Cheese/sausage is a close second.
20. Have you ever shoplifted? No. Which is geekier: not having shoplifted or never having smoked?
Sending you a virtual margarita! Happy Birthday!!
