This post has been floating around in blog world for years, and I’ve had one half-typed up in my drafts for over a year. I intended to post about something else today, but since it’s been so dang busy lately, I haven’t had the chance to finish the other post, so I thought I’d finally polish this one off and send it out into the world. ;o)

That was fun, y’all! Any of this resonate with you?
Ooh I like this and may have to do it. For fears, my first thought was cancer, and you said it too. Agreed on the political climate as well.
ReplyDeleteYes, for fears, I had way more than three and I just could not narrow it down. Haha.
DeleteWhat great lists! Snail mail and a hug stood out to me, but I can relate to almost all of these!
ReplyDeleteI love a good hug!
DeleteOhh! I have seen this in the past and keep meaning to do it but have never got around to it, I must!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting read, lovely to learn more about you.
Thank you! You should totally join in! It's so much fun to write and so much fun to read and learn about others!
DeleteI am not a fan of sushi or meat on the bone either (though I love seafood!). I am right there with you on the political climate!!
ReplyDeleteYep, just ready for November to come and go so we can get on with our lives!
DeleteOh, I loved Dawson's Creek back when it was on. I saw it on one of my streamings sites and I'm tempted to watch it all over again.

I watched it all over again in 2020 during Covid and it stands the test of time! I loved every single second of it.
DeleteI agree with so many. I hate meat on the bone too.
ReplyDeleteGlad I'm not the only one! It's so gross! I guess that makes me a bad southerner because I won't eat fried chicken. Haha.
