Everybody is writing such long descriptions, but although I can be very “wordy” on the computer, there is not a great
deal to say about me. I am rather quiet, sort of shy, much of a loner, and I don’t have a great number of friends.
Doesn’t sound too good so far, does it?
ANN
I’ll be 64 at the end of April (does that make me this group's O/G ?) 5’3”, medium build and rather over weight at 155 lbs (11 st. 1 pebble.). I need to lose at least 20 of the lbs. Short, straight natural blonde hair (sorry Kazza, you get half a point for that) that now has more silver than before. There is a silver streak in the front that I’ve had for years, and I like it so I never try to cover it up. My eyes are greenish, greyish hazel. Fair skin, with some suntan. Have worn glasses from age 7, and contacts as well
for the last 40 years. Plan to have eye surgery in the near future. Very casual dresser now that I no longer work - was once a nurse and then changed to bookkeeping. I’m very precise and detail oriented and prefered working with numbers.
Only own shorts, t-shirts, blue jeans and one skirt. I wear very little make-up, only blusher, mascara & lipstick, some days. I do have my finger nails done. I love everything that’s shiny and glitterery so my nail polish - a soft purpley-pink - always has sparkles in it.
I love to walk, and that’s when I really miss being in England. It’s not so good in south Texas - hot, humid and too many nasties waiting to jump up and bite you. Doesn’t stop me though. Also ride a bicycle. Definitely not into housework. Keep it clean and tidy, I like evrything in it’s place, but it’s a great chore and I don’t like it. I cook sporadically, and I guess it’s OK as we’ve both gained weight since I retired. Don’t have time for many other hobbies as I am out in my garden almost every day, weather permitting but I do enjoy reading, English novels, mysteries & medical science fiction, plant books and gardening magazines. I love to play classical music when my husband’s not around to listen - he likes R & B and country , Uuuurgh ! ! ! ! !. Knit baby blankets/afghans and play Wonderland. My newest interest is bird watching.
Have been married to husband #2 for 25 years now and we are very happy. Yes, we do laugh a lot and people seem to think I’m funny - both HaHa and PQliar. I have one 38 yr old daughter. She is not at all well, but unfortunately, although we are very good friends and I love her dearly, I do not see very much of her or my two grand children. My husband has boys and we see his middle son on a fairly regular basis. Some people are very family oriented - some are not. I don’t make any apologies, that’s just the way I am. Have a wonderful rescue cat, who is now 10 yrs old. Can’t say too much about him - he’s perfect, or that’s what he tells us. Since we’ve both retired I’ve learned the joys of procrastination. I never realized before that there’s always a tomorrow to do things. Just means more time to play Wonderland.
Seems I’ve written a lot after all. I read it to my husband and he asked who was I describing this time.
You’ll just have to figure it out.
