I’ll pretend she tagged me…
Seven random things about me:
- I once was chasing a boy around the blacktop playground, fell and ripped all the skin off the palm of my right hand. I can’t help but think if that happened today, parents would band together for the immediate removal of said blacktop in favor of a softer, more boy chasing-friendly surface…like grass. Or cotton candy.
- I failed my driver’s test the first time around. Drove too fast in a residential area. In my defense, I lived in the sticks…where the speed limit in our “residential” area was 40 MPH.
- I’ve never really enjoyed living in Texas…or at least, the two cities I’ve lived in here.
- I have no arches in my feet. The world may be flattening, but it hasn’t yet caught up to my feet.
- I’ve worked for seven companies in my adult life.
- I love Target’s boxed wine. Don’t knock it ’til you’ve tried it.
- I’ve been contributing to a retirement account since I got my first full-time job at 21. As of last week, the value is about the same as it was when I was 21.

- Now I can't find my Bluetooth headset. The dogs claim to not know where it is, and I've dusted every surface to no avail. Geez. 5 hrs ago

I failed my test as well!!!
And I was cracking up over the retirement account thing. I completely know what you mean…

Ha! One of my vices is the boxed sangria at Target. I’m a wine snob in practically all other ways, but give me some of that boxed sangria and a straw, and I’m a happy girl.
I’m also flat-footed. So is C. It’s too bad we’ve decided not to have children, because it might have become the next Michael Phelps.
So if you don’t enjoy living in Texas, where would you live?

@adelle Fortunately, I married into a family that has “family land” so if we need to pitch a tent in retirement, at least it won’t be illegally.
@avitania I have zero desire to go back to California, so unless we win the lottery and can move to Hawaii permanently…I probably wouldn’t mind setting up camp in North Carolina. Near family, and all.

The boy chasing thing? Today you’d have been charged with sexual harassment.
I don’t mind Chicago too much. Course I live in the burbs, which used to be rural (I miss that part. Damn urban sprawl). I just hate the winters here.

@manic witch Ha! You’re right. Although in my defense, the boy never specifically asked me to stop chasing him.

Is it Target brand wine? We’ve been trying boxes lately b/c we both just don’t sit down and drink a whole bottle at once and then it goes bad. We have a sangria right now, but I think the brand is Franzia?
One thing that’s nice about Texas is the much cheaper real estate. Otherwise, I love living in Seattle (wish you guys had made that move a few years ago!).
