Who am I?
A woman, wife, mother of sons, daughter, sister, good friend, cat and dog lover, gardener, passionate cook, house potato, schizophrenic reader, pseudo interior decorator, movie lover, closet photographer (no, I don’t take pictures of closets), writer, persnickety music lover, non-practicing pianist, semi-novice world traveler, daydreamer, and not least, erstwhile educator. I’m sure I’ve left out a few identities, but they will most likely surface as things evolve.
What matters?
Everything — most of the time. I’m most likely not for the faint of heart. Imagine all of the above jockeying for position from day to day, or actually throughout the day. It makes my life interesting, and I am rarely bored.
What’s annoying?
Right now, or on a minute to minute basis? I’ve slept like a brick most of my life, and now, well, it seems I’ve joined the rest of you and don’t. News at eleven.
What’s fabulous?
Well, I don’t own a pair of Jimmy Choos and I’d have trouble walking in them if I did, but I do have a lot of time on my hands to do what I want when I want and I’ll bet most people would pay for that opportunity. Maybe not, but I know I used to.
Where’s paradise?
According to a great number of people who have moved here from the Midwest and east coast — right outside my window. Without the state of California, Mr. Limbaugh would have less to complain about. There must be something good about this place.
Who’s funny?
My soon to be 15-year-old son and my sister. Life is just more fun around both of them — she’s just sharper around the edges. You gotta watch out for her lethal slash and burn methodology.
What’s new?
A sort of personal butt-kicking to be more healthy and get into shape. Yes, there’s a buddy, a phoodplan, and a goal.
What’s on my bookshelf? Or, what’s on my list to be read?
There is always a choice, because nothing is more unnerving than being stuck somewhere without something to read.
What’s for dinner?
It’s always changing. Not sure that we have particular dishes that are routine, or made the same way each time. It’s always an adventure and most of the time, it’s very good.
What’s interesting?
I love love love my Mac. It’s a problem because I can’t imagine life without it. Yes, I can also comfortably use a PC, so no grousing. It’s just not the same.
What’s hilarious?
The whoopee cushion widget on my Mac. It can brighten a very dark day to the point of tears — especially when the volume is turned up.
Huh?
How big was that hairball my cat Precious (she’s anything but) yacked up last night? A new record.
Who needs a boot to the rear?
I’ll have to think about this one because I’m pretty mellow right now. Give me a few minutes and I’ll get back to you.
A round of applause goes to…..
My momzer for doing such a good job of grabbing life by the short hairs daily just to get even.
