Sunday Stealing: My Friends Call Me Tulip
Can you stay inside all day without getting bored? Oh, yes! All my books and magazines, and my laptop and TV, are all here.
Tell us about a TV show that we should watch. Mad Men is the best TV show I've ever seen. Stay indoors and binge watch it.
When was the last time you were at your home computer all day? ALL day? No incident comes to mind. But I have worked from home for hours at a time, many days, evenings and weekends.
What websites other than your own do you visit daily? Many, many, many.
Do you have a favorite day of the week? Why? During the summer, it's Friday. The office closes at 1:00 on Friday, and I love those "stolen" afternoons.
Did you ever watch Saturday morning cartoons? What was your favorite? I had two favorites. Rocky and Bullwinkle and Mr. Peabody.
Were you a comic book fan? No, no. Never, never. Uh uh uh.
Did you earn an allowance when you were a kid? How much? Was it tied to chores? Yes. I don't remember. Only theoretically, as I resisted the chore thing.
What is the fanciest type of car you've ridden in? What occasion? I've taken limos to the airport. The first time it was fun. Every time after that, I have found them embarrassing. When I'm told an actual limo may not be available, I always tell them I'm good with that.
Whats your favorite sport to watch? Baseball. Cubs baseball. Kris Bryant playing Cubs baseball.
Ever tried surfing? No
Have you ever been to a live major team sporting game? Just the Cubs, and the Bears, and the Black Hawks, and the Bulls, and the White Sox (yes, twice!) and the Dodgers.
From a scale of 1 to 5 how athletic are you (1=nerd, 5=very athletic)? -11. I suck.
What's your favorite horror movie? Psycho. Hitch was the best!
What is your favorite cult classic movie? Pulp Fiction.
About how many times do you go to the movies a month? Not often enough. I love going to the movies and haven't been in a while.
Favorite movie, which one came to your head first? If only he'd had the courage to stay with her ...
What if your life was like a movie? What type of movie would it be? Sometimes it feel more like a TV show. An episode of I Love Lucy. WAAAAAH!
Do you like long series movies, like "Lord of the Rings"? No.
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.

You don't suck! There is nothing wrong with being a nerd!
ReplyDelete-11? We'd probably get along great.
ReplyDeleteMy husband is in Chicago right now. What should he see? He has his 83-year-old mother with him.
I'm pretty sure that we watched a lot of the same shows, probably at the same time, as kids. :) Probably still do too.
ReplyDeleteI believe with an answer like that to comics you definitely do not like them
ReplyDeletecome see us at http://shopannies.blogspot.com
I watched Mad Men for 3 seasons and never could get into it. I pretty much hated every character at one time or another.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip. I shall relay to Mr. Dew & MIL.
ReplyDeleteI really loved watching I Love Lucy! :)
