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.

Sunday Stealing
Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. Who are you? I woke up in a Soho doorway, a policeman knew my name ...
2. What are the 3 most important things everyone should know about you? I love the Beatles, I bleed Cubbie blue, and I'm a registered Democrat.
3. When you aren't memes like this one what are you doing? Reading, watching TV, yapping on the phone, petting a cat ...
4. List your classes in school from the ones you like the most to the ones you like the least (or if you are out of school, think of the classes you did like and didn't like at the time). English, Social Studies, Art, Science, Music, Math, Gym
5. What is your biggest goal for this year? To get my finances and weight under control. As Dean Wormer said, "Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life."
6. Where do you want to be in 5 years? Right here on this couch. Though I hope by then I'll have it reupholstered.
7. What stage of life are you in right now? Like most Baby Boomers, I'm in denial.
8. Are you more child-like or childish? Childish
9. What is the last thing you said out loud? "Bye."
10. What song comes closest to how you feel about your life right now? I get frustrated when people care so much more about others in far away places than they do for their neighbors, who are suffering, too.
11. Have you ever taken martial arts classes? Nope
12. Does your life tend to get better or worse or does it just stay the same? Yes. I mean, life is pretty fluid. I have felt each of these ways at one point or another.
13. Does time really heal all wounds? Yes. And, as Groucho said, it also wounds all heels.
14. How do you handle a rainy day? I grab an umbrella.
15. Which is worse...losing your luggage or having to sort out tangled holiday lights? Losing my luggage! Definitely!
16. How is (or was) your relationship with your parents? My mom and I have always been pretty close. My dad and I always had a hard time with one another.
17. Do you tend to be aware of what is going on around you? Sure. I mean, if I wasn't, would I even know I wasn't?
18. What is the truest thing that you know? That it's always my life, and ultimately it's up to me to make it what I want it to be.
19. What did you want to be when you grew up? A great singer. Unfortunately, I'm completely tone deaf.
20. Have you ever been given a second chance? I'm sure I have, but nothing specific comes to mind.
21. Are you more of a giver or a taker? I try to be more of a giver. I don't know how successful I am.
22. Do you make your decisions with an open heart/mind? I try to.
23. What is the most physically painful thing that has ever happened to you? My uterine fibroid embolization. Want to hear about it? I didn't think so.
24. What is the most emotionally painful thing that has ever happened to you? There have been break ups that broke my heart.
25. Who have you hugged today? My cat Joey.
Your ans to #4 reminds me I missed out Art.. Oh my, how could I ever forget??? :( I like Artz too, somewhere after Music...
ReplyDelete#3, yes, reading and petting a cat.. I have cats at home so I get to pet them all times.. :)
Some of your ans really made smile broke on my face.. like #5, 6, etc.. Not that your ans is funny but the way how you bring it across... it just made sense in some ways..
Same ans, I hugged my cat too.. :) :) Oh yes, nice catching you on Sun Stealing.. LOL..

Good answers, liked the denial one and the Groucho remark, plus admired your logic for the answer about being aware of what's going on around you. Hope you and Joey have a great Sunday!
ReplyDeleteWe're a lot alike :) #'s 2 and 5 scare me.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

Love the song lyrics!
ReplyDeleteWe have almost identical answer to #4. Math & Gym were tied for last place. I hated them equally.
I've wanted to sing as well. And I don't for pretty much the same reason...
