Sunday Five - Life's big little questions



  1. So what do you really think of adulthood? 
  2. If you didn't know how old you are, how old do you think you would be? 
  3. What sage advice would you give to your 12 year old self? 
  4. What do you wish you had more of in your life? 
  5. What would you like to try for the first time this summer? 
My answers:
  1. So what do you really think of adulthood?  It is vastly overrated. 
  2. If you didn't know how old you are, how old do you think you would be? About 30- but I am happier now than I was then. 
  3. What sage advice would you give to your 12 year old self? Never worry about what others think of you, those who love you will love you for who you are, those who don't love who you are, never did. 
  4. What do you wish you had more of in your life? Intelligent people 
  5. What would you like to try for the first time this summer? A hot air balloon ride - still need to do that.

  2. what do you really think of adulthood? I'll tell you when I get there.

    If you didn't know how old you are, how old do you think you would be? 27

    What sage advice would you give to your 12 year old self? Be yourself and embrace your creative side...and blow it up!

    What do you wish you had more of in your life? GIN!

    What would you like to try for the first time this summer? Like yourself, it would have been a hot air balloon ride. My gift certificate had been given back to me yet again. It was all booked to happen.

  3. 1. Jeez, am I the only one who thinks adulthood is great?
    2. I'm aging backwards. Now I'm about 20. When I really was 20, I was about 45.
    3. Hmmmm, 12-year-old me . . . don't be so serious!
    4. I wish I had more people present in my life who truly have the same interests I do.
    5. Hell, I'd be happy just to go out and browse in a bookstore again. I'm saving that treat for a special occasion.

    1. We masked up and braved IKEA on Friday, it was fun - only a little frightening.

    Lol at Anne Marie.

    1. It is ok but at times 'seen it all before' gets to me, especially regarding politics, although your President rather changed that. No one has seen anything like him before.

    2. Thirty is a good age.

    3. Be open and friendly and have as much 'fun' as you can so that you have good memories when you are older and don't have 'fun'. Well, I did actually do that.

    4. My brilliant intelligence is not enough for you? I'd like a sexual soulmate, not someone who I have sex with, just someone who has similar interests to me and wants to talk about them.

    5. Not summer here but regardless, I don't have an answer.

  7. 1. Adulthood is vastly better than my childhood.

    4. Wanderlust and chocolate covered cherries.
    5. Zip lining. Ain't going to happen but it's a nice fantasy.
