Queen Mimi of Bloggingham is hosting an après St. Patrick's Day green meme.
1. How many green things are within your reach? Each of my earrings has a tiny green stone, and there are greens in the vase with my pink and white carnations.
2. Have you ever been green with envy? Yes.
3. Do you like split pea soup? No.
4. Have you gone green? I'm trying. I'm a good little recycler.
5. Do green Leprechauns scare you? No. In my mind they're forever connected to Lucky Charms. How can you be afraid when you're enjoying magically delicious marshmallows?
6. What color was the Wicked Witch of The West's face in the Wizard of Oz? My best guess is PMS 377c. What do you think? Too yellow?
7. Tell us about your last experience with a frog...or a toad...or a prince. You pick. I don't recall my most recent experience, but my most memorable occurred the summer between second and third grade. I was rolling down the shallow hill behind our summer cottage and came face to face with bug-eyed toad. I was frightened but he seemed quite copacetic with making my acquaintance and hopped away at a leisurely pace. It's funny how distinctly I remember his little countenance.
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.
I have a little collection of frogs sitting on the top of my commode. I don't know why. Just thought I'd share my own frog story.
ReplyDelete*Um, it cracks me up that Kwiz has her frog collection in the latrine*
ReplyDeleteBut seriously. You do like pea soup?
YUCK!!!!
