Sunday Stealing: The "18 Questionable Questions" Meme
Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be? Betrayed me how? Cheated? Spilled my secrets? Raided my piggy bank?
2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be? That this will be The Year.
3. What is the one thing most hated by you? Bullies.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars? Send my niece to school, set up a college fund for my nephew, take care of my mother, spread some of it around among local animal shelters. buy season tickets at Wrigley Field, quit my job, live in a high-rise with a great view and a doorman ... Sigh ... It's a nice daydream, isn't it?
5. Could you fall in love with your best friend? I suppose, if things were very different
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone? Loving someone
7. How long do you intend to wait for someone you really love? I don't intend to wait for someone I really love

12. What’s your fear? Losing my independence
13. Would you rather be single and rich or married, but poor? Single and rich. Because I can imagine that. I don't know what married but poor would be like.
14. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up? Stumble into the shower.
15. Do you ever hold back in a relationship? I have ... Is it me, or are these questions more than a little negative regarding relationships?
16. If you fell in love with two people simultaneously, how would you pick? I'd go with whoever is behind Door #2, where Carol Merill is standing.
17. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing that special someone has done? Not if it leaves me vulnerable to more horror.
18. What are your three most important expectations in love? Tenderness, acceptance, and laughter.
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.

Saturday 9: Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?
1. Have you ever been in a situation with a lover where you did not know what tomorrow would bring? Yes. Every time I've been in love there have been moments that I felt that way. I guess it's what happens when you share your life with someone else.
2. What worries you most today? My mom's health and finances.
3. Could I tell if you were lying to me? Not if I don't want you to.
4. What do you miss most about the 80s? My waist
5. What's going on that you can't understand? Why -- even though I'm eating better -- I keep getting fatter and fatter. I've gone up a dress size since I answered question 4.
6. How would I know if you liked me? If I hover and fuss and worry. I'm a worrier when it come to those I care about.
7. If you ever won an award, what would you want it to be for? For being (as Wilbur eulogized Charlotte) "a good writer and a true friend."
8. What would we be surprised to know that you've done? I once rode an elephant.
9. What’s the most exotic mixed drink you remember trying? Did you enjoy it? Kir royale. Yes.
