I, for one, will not criticize your dancing.
Extra sleep, no swimsuit anxiety,
I pick number 8.
Sleeping late; which I didn't do because of the hail storm.
I vote for #'s 11 and 17. And I have a nice Tiffany lamp that's actually an Agnes lamp, because she made it for me. And only a boor would criticize someone else's dancing.
Going barefoot? Can people really do that sort of thing?
I MUST have my cup of coffee in the morning. It's more than a pleasure.
I'm glad to know that you can stop and smell the roses or portulacas.
