"26. Gone skinny dipping"? Really? Wow! I'm impressed! I wouldn't do it. Or in a private pool, surrounded by very tall walls ^_^

I never said anyone was around ... I looked pretty carefully. ^_^

Well, there was the one slumber party where a friend and I doffed PJs and jumped in the creek. For, like a split sec. Lit by one, small flashlight.

I'm not quite the exhibitionist that it may appear. ^_^

Is the movie "Death Becomes Her"?

Allanna said...

Noooooo .... But it does have a certain red-headed actress in it.

It's a remake, if that helps!

Freaky friday? The one with Lindsay Lohan?
Gosh! I haven't watched this in alooooong time.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!!!

My Cynthia, you've hit it on the nose. Yes, it's the line Jaime Lee Curtis says when she and Lindsey Lohan switch bodies in "Freaky Friday."

I just really like that line. I use it just about every time that I feel old. Which is more often than I'd like. :(

But it IS a fun like to use. Especially if you grab your face like JLC does as she delivers the line. ^_^
