Thursday Thunks

Standard

1. What color is your front door?
It use to be red, but we painted it a teal color which I love.

2. We discussed our folks in previous TT so now tell me about your siblings. If you are an only child, tell me whether or not you wanted siblings, older, younger etc.
I have three brothers, one 5 yrs older, one a year younger and one 7 years younger. My middle brother and I were like twins until we hit about 13. I think being in a family with divorced parents and no dad around was really hard for them, but they turned out well, all have good jobs and many interests. Also I’m an auntie because of two of them-3 nephews and one niece!
3. What color/type butterfly is your favorite?
I really love the Monarch. Had one that hatched late in the season stay on my hand one time-even brought it in the house for a few minutes. He finally got his wings flapping and off he went!

4. Will you be celebrating Cinco De Mayo? We have many Hispanics in this area, so they do the celebrating just fine.
5. Oprah- love her, hate her, or don’t care?
I really admire her for her success! She’s had a fabulous career, built a school, a mansion and a half (or two) for herself. No, never would hate her!
6. Are you worried about the spread of swine flu?
I’m concerned. I just hope none of the locals just came back from the homeland, especially near where it all started. I wash my hands a lot and use lots of hand sanitizer.
7. Hard or soft pillows?
More hard-need support, but not rock hard support.
8. How many trees are in your neighbor’s yard? A lot-especially the humongous ones on a bank that could fall over and take out the electrical lines and maybe hit our house!
9. What was the color of the last car you saw? Black as I noticed the driver as someone I knew.
10. When does your driver’s license expire? I think it’s good for another year or two.
11. Look at the clock on your computer and type the numbers backwards.72:11
12. When you put your pants on, what leg do you put in first? Probably my left as I am left-handed.
13. How would you respond to this letter if you were an advice columnist.
I am an ugly woman. I was an ugly baby and child even! It is a fact. I am 36 now and I have never had a boyfriend, and I am still a virgin.

Due to me not having men in my life, I have poured everything I have in to education and my career. At 36 I am the youngest (and first female CEO) at a big, successful, tech company. I have over 200 personal patents and millions of pounds in investments.

I have everything: huge house, holiday villa in Spain, 3 cars, power boat, a race horse, etc. but as much I try to talk myself into everything being “great” I cannot help but to miss that special someone to share it all with.

Most of my friends are married with kids and I feel like I am gradually drifting away from them also.

Where can I find someone to marry an ugly woman?
You could go the route and say beauty is skin deep and that there is always someone out there for you. Or you could suggest plastic surgery to improve what she thinks is ugly. Or since she seems to be lonesome, maybe she can hire a male companion to be her secretary or something like that.

  1. I love your door! It doesn’t hurt that green is my favorite color! I am sorry to hear about your mom! Macular degeneration runs in my family! My Grandma went completely blind because of it. Thanks for visiting my blog!
