Where has today gone?
Got my hair cut. Visited with my mother. Let the Cubs take 10 years off my life (up 4-0 going into the 9th, squeaking by with a 5-4 victory). Read my new Entertainment Weekly. (More fun than going on Quicken and paying my 15th-of-the-month bills.) Dozed off on the sofa. Started watching the NCIS marathon on USA Network.
How can it really be after 8:00 when it feels like it's about 5:30? Weekends are too valuable to slip away like this!
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
1. Who do you think is sexy? Oh, geez! My mind is a motel. I'm always fantasizing about someone! Right now, the the lucky man that comes to mind is Jon Hamm/Don Draper.
2. When does it become love? When he's the first one I think of when I open my eyes.
3. Are you a good dancer? No
4. What magazines do you read? Time, Newsweek, O. Allure, Glamour,US and People.
5. If you could have any name, what would you call yourself? Grace. Maybe I'd live up to it.
6. Have you ever ridden in a limo? If yes, when? To and from the O'Hare, every time I go. (They charge a flat airport rate, so they're easier to budget for than cabs that go on the meter.)
7. What is something you really like to do? Fantasize about Jon Hamm. Sigh.
8. Last chance: Who wins Idol, Kris Allen or Adam Lambert? I'm 100% Team Adam. But I'm not sure he'll win. In addition to his edgy stage persona, photos of him performing in drag have ended up on AOL's splash page. I wonder if America is ready for him.
9. If you had to, what animal would you choose to be? One of my cats. I'd love to have a tail.
