"Space hogs" who take up the locker room bench with their iPods, gym bags & water bottles
Parents who don't keep a vigilant eye on their kids
Adults who don't keep track of civic/political matters (It's part of being a grown up, folks!)
Anyone refers to a woman as, "Dude"
4 - Sloth. Seven things you neglect to do.

7 - Lust. Seven love secrets.
Oh, please. I have the sex life of a nun. And not by choice!
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.
Terrific Pride list...I wish I'd thought of optimism for mine. LOL @ poker face...I have the same problem with not being able to hide my true distaste. You have my favorite wrath list so far and I do all your sloth sins too!(I have 2 pair in view). Sorry bout that sex life. Things balance out in life. Your time will come...ooof I made a joke. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love my Yanks as you love your Cubs. (OK, it is not the same.) Last week I had to choose. Cable V. At&t universe. AT&T I could get YES, the Yankee network. Cable I still can use Tivo. I chose Tivo. I get the broadcast yankee games, but no cable. I can live with that. I cannot live without Tivo. And other DVRs don't cut it.
ReplyDeleteOMG--we have practically the same answer for the Lust answer!
ReplyDeleteI loved your lust answer. Wait ... that came out wrong : )
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, your "pride" list was awesome. How wonderful to identify the great things about you ... was it hard? (I had a terrible time with my pride list)
And a sense of humor ... it'll get you anywhere : )
dude....are Californians excused from that so called faux pas ??
