this hit me while i was sitting with my grandma today.

• i like word searches
• i play old person card games, like
  • canasta
  • gin
  • hearts
  • various forms of solitaire
• i obsessively snack on pretzels, like my grandma used to
• i like raisin bran, unlike most youngsters
  • going along with this, i don't generally appreciate sugary cereals, or sugary anything for that matter
• i love dried fruit
• i get upset when people swear around me
• i have achy muscles/joints
  • especially my shoulder these days :/
• i ask people to repeat themselves a lot
• i'm always tired
• when i was little, reminisce extra was one of my favorite magazines
• i like to talk about the "good old days"
• i tend to bring up the weather in any casual conversation
• i find the way a lot of teenage girls (and boys) dress to be a disgrace and i wish they'd cover themselves up/pull up their pants
• i hate telephones (although that might not be all old ladies, but my grandma certainly does)
• i take a multivitamin and calcium pill daily
• i forget a lot of stuff that i should be able to remember, but remember a lot of useless stuff that it wouldn't hurt to forget
• if i'm carrying a purse, it's huge and i tend to have everything that could possibly be needed in it
  • hand sanitizer
  • snacks
  • books
  • word search/sudoku books
  • pens
  • a sweatshirt
  • you get the picture
• oh yeah, i'm a germophobe (but maybe that's just my grandma again)
