Yes, I have been….by none other than the Boomer who’s gone like sixty. He has awakened me from a deep winter hibernating slumber to…

“blog about five things in my life that I never dreamed, when I was 25, would be in my life now”.

Bear with me a bit here…gotta shake off the fuzzies that come with sleeping so deeply for so long, k? K, here we go….

1. I, southern born and bred (Tennessee), never dreamed I would be living in southwestern Arkansas during the winter and missing the sight of a bright, fresh snow after having encountered my first BIG, LONG snowy winter in central Missouri at the age of 20 when I had no choice but to learn how to drive a stick-shift with bald tires and NO weight on those rear wheels in the white stuff and one hill after another with a dadgum red light at the top of every hill in order to get home from work. (YOU try holding that sucker in one spot at the red lights going uphill using the clutch and accelerator with slick tires and no rear weight and then get started going AGAIN). OR, after having experienced a white EASTER that year, not Christmas mind you, EASTER. That year I swore I didn’t care if I EVER saw the white stuff again in my life.
2. I never dreamed I would be an ex-resident of Chi-town, either. Didn’t take long for me to move outta THAT city! Having to wear a jacket, pants, socks and shoes while attending an evening Cubs game in the month of June spooked this southern born gal. Goodness knows what winter would be like there further north than central Missouri!
3. Not once did it ever occur to me that I’d be working at home some days in the modern day version of my Grandmother’s house dress…my PJs.
4. Never dreamed I would be able to enjoy sports such as bowling, tennis, boxing, and other games right in my own living room with my Nintendo Wii.
5. Never dreamed I would need the Nintendo Wii to get SOME kind of exercise because I was MUCH more active during that time in my life than I am now. I sit alot…at the computer nonetheless.
6. And last but certainly not least, I never dreamed I would be resurrected from the blogging dead by a Boomer that goes sixty blogging away daily in Boomer Bloggerville! Thanks, Sixty! I’ve missed this…even though the hibernating was quite comfy and cozy.

   Off to see if I can wake up Hope….
