The cousin you most admire and aspire to!
Cindy, there's not much you've said that doesn't describe me to a "T". 2 things, however, I differed on: I don't knit, but would LOVE to learn (I consider that to still be rather geriatric - just pining away for the ability to knit), and I'm not still actively looking for a man with the qualifications you described ;) Still, I sometimes think the same thing about myself, "How can I not yet be 30 and still feel so old?" ;)
Thanks for the solidarity, girls! It really is very comforting to know I'm not the only 80 year old trapped in a late 20-something's body ;)
Ok, as far as knitting, I can't think of a more back-to-nature eclectic "green" thing than knitting. Taking the God-given gift of the sheep and using that to create an artistic expression of creative significance is just so avante garde! And science has now proven that getting the appropriate amount of sleep helps you to be able to intelligently discuss the latest medical breakthroughs. Kudos for that! I could go on but will stop and say...I think you are cutting edge here. Avante garde if you will. You are being true to yourself which is what all of us strive for regardless of how old we are.
Oh, and Danielle....I'll SO teach you how to knit. In fact, let me add to my growing list:
#16. Hopes to begin a knitting circle with like-minded geriatrics.
;) Ha! I'm there! ;)
What can I say, my Cindy. In spite of your list, you don't come across as old, and regardless of age, I have a feeling you'll still be delightful and funny and a pleasure from your late-20-somethings to your actual 80-somethings!!!!! It's a pleasure to read your musings!!! aunt c
