1. Do you take a lot of medication? More and more as time goes by. When I was a kid, it was just an OTC Flintstones vitamin a day. Now I've got three prescriptions I take every day.
2. Name one of your flaws and tell us about it. I can be very impatient with people. I want what I want and I want it NOW!
3. Have you ever won first place? If yes, tell us about your victory! Long ago movie critic Gene Siskel had a trivia contest in the Chicago Tribune. Yours truly won $500.
4. Who is the last person to make you smile? What was happening? A coworker
wished me luck on Monday morning's big client presentation.5. Describe a time when you should have tried harder. This past week, I fell off the diet bandwagon with a thud. I was stupid and lazy. I purchased and practically inhaled some Fannie Mays without much thought or even enjoyment. Picking up the candy was an old habit I should have tried harder to break.
6. What are you best at? I am a very good friend.
7. If someone was going to make a movie or TV show about your life, who would play you and why? Carrie Fisher. We're the same height and age, we share a sensibility, and now, as we're in our 50s, a weight problem.
8. Name 3 things that you think are strange. Charlie Sheen, the birther movement and the Gyro-Bowl.
9. What is one lesson you have learned in the past 12 months? The Beatles were right all along: "Pride can hurt you, too."
I love Carrie Fisher. Congrats on the big win too!

The Beatles were right a lot more often than wrong. I cannot listen to "Ballad of John & Yoko" and not thing "The way thing are going they're gonna crucify me" and shudder.
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing Carrie Fisher on Oprah the other day, her wit and insights seem to be a lot like yours, too. Great choice.
ReplyDeleteYou and I are impatient and both battling eating issues ... I had help with my gastric bypass, but even so, I've gained a dress size since November. Great on the trivia contest win! Love your Beatles quote.
