Hello again, dear readers!
You forgot all about me? I'm sure that's not possible! Is it?
Of course not! Even when I'm no longer around, I'm sure I'll be remembered fondly by many of you. While I have no plans or intentions to go anywhere for a very long time, recent events have certainly got me thinking.
Here's ten things I think I'd be remembered for:
KINDNESS
I'm always polite and nice to people. Even those who would never like me even if I gave them a small yacht and a lifetime supply of chocolate.That's just the way I am. I always think of that meme that goes around. The one about how everyone has some kind of internal struggle you know nothing about. So just be kind. Sometimes people refer to me as being sweet. It used to make me nauseous, but now I think it's a good thing. It's means I'll be remembered for a being a sweetheart. Okay, it is a teensy bit nauseating...
BEING A LOYAL FRIEND
I don't make friends easily, but I'm very sincere and loyal once I do. And online friends count now, right? Otherwise I'm practically Nelly No Friends...
MY CUTE SENSE OF HUMOUR
I'm as funny as a fungal toe nail in person. However, give me a device and an internet connection and you'll suddenly discover something about me you never previously noticed. I have a personality! Who knew?
MY FAMILY
One day I will shuffle off this Earth for tea and cake in the sky. Hopefully, a very long time from now. But my boys will still be here. And I expect they'll all be top blokes (I would say that, I'm their mother...). So I'm taking the credit for it, even in the grave.
MY WRITING/THIS BLOG
While my writing may never reach any grand or literary heights, I hope that I've been able to entertain and amuse SOMEONE out there. You're laughing WITH me, not AT me! Aren't you?
MY INTERESTING HAIRSTYLES
I've gone from a fetching mullet-perm to an elegant poodle-perm. More recently I've been totally on trend, embracing the clown look. Furthermore, I can effortlessly segue into a foxy lady and channel Kath Day-Knight from Kath n' Kim. Noice. Unyewwwsual.

MY CARPENTERS & CAKIE ADDICTION
Whenever you are trapped in some sort of easy listening hell you will ALWAYS remember me. For instance, you might be trapped in the dentist's chair. A Carpenters song may echo eerily in the background as your jaw aches. And you will think of me. You know you will! And once again, you're totally welcome!
Also, when I'm gone it will be your duty to honour me by eating ALL THE CAKE I can't have anymore. You can't deny that it's a great legacy I will have left you. Use it wisely.
MY QUIET NATURE
I'm so quiet, there's a good chance you won't even notice I'm gone. Or maybe, just maybe, my resting bitch face will be curiously missed. After all, a quiet, pleasant person (with a misleading resting bitch face) is preferable to some one who is nasty, gossipy or racist.
I was going to add something about my tenacity in the face of adversity. I'm a breast cancer survivor and all that. But really, I'm just one of many people who've done the same. It doesn't make me special.
Well, maybe a little bit. Give me a break! That shit is HARD.
So that's what I think I'll be remembered for! Let's fade out with a bit of Barbra...
Memorieeeees, like the corners of my miiiind....
Linking up (late, as usual!) for Friday Reflections.
What would you like to be remembered for?
