Sunday Stealing: Another Question Meme

8. Last restaurant you ate at. Who were you with? How was it? Infield's, the sports-themed restaurant downstairs at Macy's. I was with my friend, John. The food was fine, but the people in a nearby booth were soooo noisy. Still, it's a sports bar, so we should have seen that coming.

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.
I like the fact that you have checks that donate to a worthy cause!!!
ReplyDeleteHere's MY STEALING... I do hope you can stop by for a laugh or two. Happy Sunday.
That is a good choice for a perfume. I loved your checks too.

I would do your laundry and you could do my anything else. As much as I hate schlepping to the laundromat, I really do love doing laundry. The feel and the smell of clean laundry make me happy.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that part of the printing fee went to the ASPCA! Thanks for the info. And I like that you put your favorite life song on there in YouTube - I can finally listen to it. (Catchy!)
