I will wear white, just like on my wedding day.

Yes, that is what I do.

Dress in white and nude heels, low

I will sit around listening to music from the good old days, but not the days from my childhood, but from my fathers.

I will watch old TV shows from my generation and before.

Re-introduce I Love Lucy, and I Dream of Jeanie.

I will sit at a bus stop and talk to whoever will listen.

I will drink lots of red wine and sit on my couch with a pint of ice cream and watch The Breakfast Club, Lost Boys, and The Princess Bride.

I will watch The Notebook and dream of times forgotten.

I will not spoil my grandchildren and I won’t live in a nursing home.

When I am old I will yell at children and set a bad example.

You only live once and you can’t screw it up too early so why not do it now?

I will collect porcelain dolls and shoes, and I will give them out a Christmas. Then two weeks later I will go into their house and take them back saying “you’ve had them long enough, it’s my turn now” then regift them next Christmas.

I will be puzzling.

I will do puzzles.

I won’t try to stay hip because I will most likely break one in doing so.

I will live in an echoing house, and watch old musicals and cry over Dolly, but mostly Curtains.

I will dye tints of blues and pinks into my hair.

I will look at my scars and ask myself “what the hell was I thinking?”

I will have cats

I want to paint with my grandchildren and watch them grow

I will become a hoarder and have my children clean for me.
