About Me

Grew up in Orlando, Two daughters, 26 and 24, living out of state and vaguely interested in enjoying menopause (am easily distracted by shiny objects, errant thoughts and meaningless tangents and segues--i.e., brain is puddle-of-consciousness - wired). I'm sorry, what was the question?

Interests and Hobbies

Please Check back frequently, to see if I've managed to come up with a list, both humble and impressive. I anticipate a well-rounded selection which will engender awe, shameful envy AND an insidious, unsettling need to be my new best friend in all who care to read my "interests and Hobbies".

Occupation

List Laureate (including, but not limited to, Interests, Hobbies and other random, self-serving Lies) ,

High School?

No, I just sneaked cigarettes in the parking lot. of Trinity Prep. YES, THAT'S RIGHT!!! A PREPARATORY SCHOOL. DON'T JUDGE BEFORE YOU KNOW WHAT REQUIRED SUCH PREPARATION!!

College?

Right. Best four years of my life. I graduated from the Seriously-Dated-To-The-Point-Of-Being-A-Hopelessly-Lost-'Art'-Known-To-Past-Dusty-Generations as a Womens' College, also known as Converse College. It's the cluster of brick buildings dotting green, green grass, surrounded by a wall for the sake of the naive virgins within, in downtown Spartanburg, SC, between the local AMVETS and a spooky important Mill.

Favorite Movies, TV?

Oh no. Not falling for this again. You want me to bring up The Sound of Music, or Love Actually, JUST to best situate me for ridicule. Good thing I figured it out.

Favorite Books?

Sorry, am sure you'll understand that my HOBBY of translating Russian Prison Journals in my off time leaves me so spent with empathy I find it impossible to read plain, run-of-the-mill books, tabloids or the like, what with all those blurring tears common to the REALLY-educated few of us who can FEEL so deeply.

Favorite Websites?

While I find repetition to be another word for "not clever enough to come up with unique answers", I shall risk it and say "please see Hobbies and Interests. Same answer applies here. (Don't forget to sign up to be notified immediately when this answer finally arrives!)

Favorite place to eat?

Oh. Wait. This is NOT a random, happenstance-ish spattering of questions, is it? Great. In case I'm sounding like an annoying, self-absorbed blowhard. I'll make excuses. I'm pretty sure, 76% positive, that as long as you acknowledge (and by 'acknowledge' I mean "vaguely mention") your most annoying flaws, a surprising number of folks will give you a pass. Doesn't seem very useful though, or even legal, come to think of it, giving yourself permission to be obnoxious, as long as you make sure to cop to it. Next: we cover the Question of the Ages: When, precisely does self-deprecating humor morph into shameful, humiliating attention seeking? featuring breakout sessions on How to Answer Questionnaires Maturely and Appropriately (and fifteen sure signs you aren't supposed to be in this particular session) . Oh. and I'll have to say "Paris". ...would be my favorite place to eat.

Favorite place to shop?

I only shop via www.wqmagonline.com, exclusively patronizing the advertisers and by extension, the website, in hopes of becoming their number one most perfect subscriber.

Favorite place to go?

the family room

Do you have kids?

yes

How many?

two

Childrens age range?

daughters, 24 and 26. Perhaps nobody's pointed out the potential for duplication in this questionnaire. I'm pretty sure I've already covered this subject in another answer. Hold on though..... come to think of it, my daughters are clearly worthy of the extra attention. nevermind.

What are your favorite name brands of clothing?

The entire line of "Modern Menopause Magic". Their grasp of the slimming power of zany, willy nilly stripes, usually horizontal, their dedication to the unique camouflage effect of neck ruffles, hem ruffles, sleeve ruffles, cuff ruffles and ruffle ruffles, their uber-discriminating, forward-thinking loyalty to the priceless HUGE PRINT--be it a field of giant chartreuse asterisks, a never-repeating study in eggplant ampersands, or the simple, yet playful prints of random, upside down V's, sneaky, snaky S's or the ever-popular classic print, The Puffy Exclamation Point Pattern (prized for its alluring succinct and slightly hypnotic "statement"), this brand is for all women who know for a fact that the seven inch bracelet they see advertised is for OTHER women. I highly recommend them--especially their just-released, "Omar The Woman Maker" line...to die for.

Shoes?

I am all for them. However, I think some of these johnny-come-lately shoe "designers" need a crash course in toe cleavage. and, is there some kind of secret law that requires all flats be created from picnic oil cloth?

Purses and Accessories?

ahhhhh......FINALLY!..every matron's best-loved subject. I might be inclined to answer this question if you added sunglasses, nail art and hairstyles. As it stands now, it's not so much a question as it is a dangling participle.

What is your must have for your closet?

a dimmer

Favorite place to get your hair and nails done?

kitchen sink/laundry sink--they tied
