Saturday 9: Little Miss Can't Be Wrong
1. Who was the last person you dealt with that felt that they could never be wrong? One of my art directors. Whenever another (or perhaps better) solution is suggested to her, she never evinces enthusiasm. Instead she just says, "whatever."
2. Tell us about one person who is the most like you. My niece just entered her senior year of high school. She is very much her own girl, with her own interests, and a tremendous desire for independence, which is how I was at that age (and now, I suppose). She has a career focus that I didn't at that age, and I admire her for that. Whereas my goal was to get out of the house, her goal is to get out ... and know where she's going.
3. What is something you really want right now? A washer and dryer that work!
4. What are you doing this weekend? The freaking trip to the freaking laundromat is top of mind right now. (Growl.)
5. Are you in a good mood? If yes, Why? Yes. In spite of the washer/dryer aggravation. Because the sun is out and the sky is blue and it's not prohibitively hot outside and (once I get the freaking laundry out of the way), I can do pretty much whatever I want today.
6. Do you have an ex that you are pretty sure thinks about you a lot? No.
7. What's one thing you wish you could do but can't? Sing! In my mind I'm forever the leather-lunged belting diva, a la Streisand. In reality, I'm completely tone-deaf. Bummer.
8. What's one trait you hate in a person? Bullies. Pick on somebody your own size, why don'tcha?
9. What's one thing you like to do alone? Read books or watch movies. It's harder to be transported to another place/time, if you're doing your traveling with someone else.
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.
"Bullies" is THE perfect answer. I wish I had thought of it! Happy Saturday. Sorry about Looooouuuu...

I went between your two answers for #9 but stuck with reading.
ReplyDeleteBack in the day, before we had we washer and dryer, I made a weekly trip to the laundry trip to the laundrymat on Sunday. I despised it. I feel your pain. Hope your condo association gets them fixed soon!
