Sunday Stealing: One Thing .....
that makes you smile: My big old tomcat, Joey. He is a most loving soul.
that makes you cry: "See ya, Katie." "See ya, Hubbell."
that you love to do on the weekends: Going to the movies.
that you do for only yourself: Going to the movies. (I like going to the movies.)
that you have in your underwear drawer that's NOT underwear: Nothing. Answering this made me happy. I think of myself as unorganized and sloppy, and yet my bras and panties and spanx are highly organized.
that you do before going to sleep: Watch TV or read
that you do within the first 15 minutes after waking: Visit the bathroom, she said delicately
that's in your purse: my Epipen. I'm allergic to bee sting.
that you actually LIKE to clean: Hmmmm ... hmmm .... thinking, but coming up empty
that you DETEST cleaning: LAUNDRY! I feel like I spend half my life on it and I resent every moment.
that other people would find odd about you: That I don't drive. I swear if I told people I keep human heads in my freezer, they wouldn't look at me as oddly.
that you would buy if I handed you a $100 bill: A gift card for my niece. Her graduation is coming up and I'm worried I won't have anything nice for her.
that you feel you HAVE to do before you die: I dunno. I'm not very "bucket listy." Maybe satiate my incurable thirst for Farmville 2.
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 love how delicate you are. I just blurted out go to the bathroom. :-) I can't imagine not driving and I can also imagine the types of responses you get. I'm sure you get sick of them.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a bee sting in years, oops should have said that out loud.
ReplyDeleteI hate laundry too. Kathy thinks is why I got married again...
ReplyDeleteI like doing laundry. I hate talking myself into going to the laundromat. Maybe that's what my final answer should have been--one day having a washer/dryer on premises so I don't have to schlep!
ReplyDeleteLaundry is the one thing I don't mind doing--it's the 1,349 other things that need cleaning that I can't stand! I guess because laundry is so automated. I might have a different opinion if I had to hand-wash my clothes! Like I think I may like washing dishes better if I had a dishwasher. :P
ReplyDeleteNon city people don't get that it's easier to get around on public transportation than by car. It is not uncommon to not have a drivers license.
ReplyDeleteI said pretty much the same thing concerning what I "like" to clean and laundry is definitely a dreaded chore...maybe because it NEVER ends.
ReplyDeleteYou are very good to carry our epipen. I have one but it is always at home. What good is that, eh?
ReplyDeleteDo you not drive because you don't NEED to, or for some other reason? Just curious. Loved your heads-in-freezer analogy, though! Cheers :)
