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.

ReplyDeleteThe toilet paper thing used to make me nuts...till I had a kid and realized that hanging it 'wrong' means less waste because it's harder to roll all the paper off as a game. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt still annoys me in child-free public places though.
I love your animal answer--I'd love to hang out with my cats for the day! I wonder if they talk about me when I'm not there???
ReplyDeleteha ha ha- yep, you called it. I did do a quick edit on your comment- which I did immensely enjoy. I am too a huge fan of the carrot cake. And why are there no Trader Joe's downstate? People have actually started a petition here to get one. Have a happy opening day :)
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I'm lucky if the toilet paper gets on the hanger thing and doesn't just sit on the bathroom vanity.
