Sunday Stealing: The Very Late Meme
Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. Make a list of 5 things that you can see without getting up: TV, work bag, purse, snow globe, my cat Joey
2. How do you style your hair? Right now it's short, too short
3. What are you wearing now? Jeans, t-shirt
4. What's your occupation? According to my just-completed tax return, I'm an Associate Creative Director
5. What do you hear right now? A Totino's pizza roll commercial
6. Who was the last person you hugged? Ann. Technically speaking, she hugged me, but I was involved so it counts, right?
7. What is/was for dinner? Don't know yet. I'm celebrating my friend Kathy's birthday at a new restaurant, and I'm not yet familiar with the menu.
8. What did you do today? Downloaded a couple audiobooks, a few loads of laundry ... boring stuff
9. Dog person or cat person? I have cats because I live in an apartment and I'm gone a lot. But I have an affinity for dogs, too. And hamsters. And horses. And bunnies. I like critters.
10. If you had to change your name, what would you change it to? The Gal Herself
11. What was the last thing that you bought? Lavender-scented scrub. I love it.
12. If you could afford to go anywhere in the world, where would you go? Boston, Atlanta, New York ... Those are all cities I have really enjoyed but haven't visited in a while. The "afford" part comes not the price of airfare as the time off work. In today's economic climate, I'd prefer my boss not know how well he could do without me for another month.
13. Where do you see yourself in five years? Right here. On this sofa. Though I hope by then I'll have had it reupholstered. It's really a mess.
14. Where's your birthmark? Middle of my right thigh.
15. What are you doing this weekend? Tsk, tsk. You're not paying attention! I already told you I'm taking my old friend Kathy out for her birthday dinner.
16. Which book are you reading at the moment? "Good in Bed" by Jennifer Weiner. It's better than I thought it would be.
17. The last movie you've seen? "Blue Valentine." Great performances but, oh! So depressing!
18. What are you doing tomorrow? For sure -- fasting and getting my annual physical/blood test. Maybe -- dropping off a box at Goodwill and shopping the President's Day sale at Kohl's in search of bath towels.
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 Jennifer Weiner's books. And I admire your ability to listen to audio books. I tune them out and think about nothing.
ReplyDeleteGood answers. Hope you have fun and a good menu at your friend's birthday.
ReplyDeleteI'm dropping off a big bag to Goodwill tomorrow also and taking advantage of the sales at Kohls, Macys and Michaels. I have to work, so it's going to be after work and before I hgave to visit Bud at the hospital. My birthday is Monday...am I the Kathy of which you speak? lol I love Trader Joes Lavendar scrub. Have a great week Gal!
