Sunday Stealing: The Presuppose You're Living in New England Meme
1. Have you turned the heat on in your house yet this fall? No.
2. Do you allow your pets on the furniture? Yes. Well, wait, on the other hand, no. I mean, one doesn't "allow" cats to do anything. My feline roommates do as they please, and afford me the same freedom.
3. What were your final words for September? "It's payday!" Those are my final words for every month.
4. What are your first words for October? "Birthday!" My young nephew's birthday is during the first week and celebrating requires preparation.
5. Do you think you’ve ever seen a ghost? Nope.
6. What is the one color that represents this time of year? Orange.
7. Which of your senses do you think is most sensitive this time of year? Smell. I love spicy/cinnamon scented things.
8. What is your favorite thing to do at the county fair? I've never been to a county fair.
9. What do you like when you have a cold? Solitude and orange juice
10. Are you willing to spend over $100 for a piece of winter clothing, like boots or a coat? Yes. Especially good, warm waterproof boots.
12. What do you have too much of in your kitchen? Cereal.
13. What gripes do you have about this time of year? Switching from sandals to real shoes. My painted piggies yearn to breathe free!
14. Other than yourself, are you responsible for getting anyone ready in the morning? No.
15. When was the last time you cleaned your gutters? Never.
16. So, it’s after Labor Day. Will you still be wearing white? If I so wish. Stacy and Clinton say I can.
17. What shows are you most looking forward to this Fall? New episodes of NCIS. Gibbs is my TV boyfriend.
18. What three things have you just not gotten around to from the summer, but probably should do before snow flies? Clean the carpet, empty out the den, get the sofa cushions cleaned.
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 love payday too! Always something to look forward to. :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't Gibbs have the most sweetest of sweet smiles? Gotta love it. AND the show.
ReplyDeleteOh and we have the same heightened sense for the season.

What Not To Wear is one of my fav shows! I love Clinton's book (How to be Fabulous)...if you like the show you should read it. I love NCIS also. Kind of graphic this year so far. Have a great Sunday Gal!
ReplyDeleteGibbs is your boyfriend? LoL
ReplyDeleteGlad to know that. I love NCIS too.

I know what you mean about "one doesn't 'allow' cats to do anything."
ReplyDeleteThey could care less about rules and regulations!
Kathy's a huge NCIS fan. We Tivo them and watched the season premier last night. I had never seen it before.
ReplyDeleteIt's great that your feline roommates allow you to use the furniture sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThe new season of What Not To Wear starts this upcoming Friday!
