Sunday Stealing: The August 20 Question Meme
Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. What's for breakfast? Cheerios.
2. Do you read a newspaper daily? Monday through Friday. I read it each morning on the train to work.
3. What do you do when you can't sleep? Read one of the books or magazines near my bed for just that purpose.
4. Say a word that sums up your mood. Impatient!
5. Do you remember your dreams? Just the really wacky ones. Like the one where Burt Reynolds tries to intimidate me before I can testify against his son.
6. Name something from your dream last night. I can't recall last night's dream. Had to do with Hurricane Irene. I don't recall the specifics -- meaning Burt Reynolds must not have been harassing me.
7. Name a food that describes you. Eggs. I am a woman of many moods -- ranging from over easy to scrambled.
8. Today you are wearing: Shorts and a t-shirt.
9. What's in your pockets? Lip balm, a tissue and some change.
10. Did you sing in the shower today? Oh, God. I did. I sang along with Captain and Tenille on shower radio. "Do that to me one more time/once is never enough/with a man like you ..." I can't remember where I left my keys, but I have retained all these lyrics. Oh well, at least it wasn't "Muskrat Love."
11. What's the last song you heard? "Sweet Nothings" by Brenda Lee. It's on the soundtrack of An Education.
12. Looking forward to the holidays? Yes. I'm looking forward to seeing my friends in Key West.
13. Where do you want to be this instant? One month in the future! I want to be looking back on my upcoming surgery, instead of fearing it.
14. What's for lunch? There's some ham in the refrigerator ...
15. What's something you would like to do soon? Hug my best friend. I miss him something awful.
16. Reading anything now? What is it? Mini Shopaholic. Becky Brandon (nee Bloomwood) is Lucy Riccardo for the new millennium.
17. What's for dinner? That feels like a lifetime away!
18. A favorite part of the day is: Early evening as the sun goes down
19. Are you happy? Usually I'm happy. But at this particular juncture, no. I don't feel well.
20. Guess how many people will do Sunday Stealing this weekend? 41
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.
Now I've got that C&T song stuck in my head... oh boy. And Muskrat Love, since you mentioned that.
ReplyDeleteSS is at 26 so far. I think it took a hit from the weather.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your weekend.

Monday Mayhem is now posted!
I miss Chicago!!! Thank you for the train memories and others. I lived in Lake Forest for 5 years and went into the city often - was just thinking of the Goodman Theater the other day. Best wishes on your surgery - from a 42-year-old single woman - glad to find you!
