Candy's Meme....

O.K....I'm feeling a little more lighthearted.  Sometimes it just helps to get things out. Candy tagged me for a meme recently but I've been feeling so dull of late that it was hard to come up with six random things about myself. I made an attempt however....

1.  One of my favorite things when I was a little kid was my red Kenner Close 'N Play.  I still have the 45 called "Have You Ever Lost an Elephant?" that I played over and over and over and OVER.  I still do that with songs I like.  It drives Ernie nuts.

2.  I loved being pregnant.  Event though it wasn't all loads of fun Ihave never felt more purposeful in my life. It was a wonderful feeling.

3. I always wear skirts or dresses.  The last time I wore a pair of pants was when we unloaded our moving truck in Michigan in 1985.

4. I tend to worry about the feelings of inanimate objects.  If I empty an ice cube tray and only one cube is left I always put one back in so the cube won't be lonely.  Ditto with returning shopping carts, etc.

5.  I yearn for time by myself but when I get it I realize I seem to have lost the talent of enjoying it.  Except for going to the bathroom...THAT I still enjoy doing without young children yelling on the other side of the door. Their timing is impeccable...

6. I really like the idea of drinking strong black coffee but I can't do it.  Instead I put about an inch or so of coffee in a tall tumbler, add ice and fill with skim milk.  It's kind of a poor man's latte.  It's gotta be skim milk too....it's known as coffeemilk at my house and I must have it every morning.

I think I've tagged people already for a similar meme so I'm refraining from passing it on.  Thanks Candy....now I have to dig out my Have you Ever Lost an Elephant 45.....
