Dear Anonymous:
I might set you up on a blind date with Penny, but you would have to reveal your identity first.

Dear Penny:
Physical characteristics of men I like:
Twinkling eyes
Good teeth
Square shoulders

NO NO NO............NO blind date with Penny!!!!!
she is not my type.......I too like men with twinkling eyes good teeth and square shoulders.....like Jan Michael Vincent.....(revealing my age!).My current cutie is Brad.....I have told my husband that we might have to cease to be now that Brad is once again available!!!
I thought Penny should hang out with me because she is funny and she likes coffee and chocolate....I have great chocolate (that was your clue! - so here is another clue....) and Penny is an awesome singer....

Plus I just want to hang out with Penny and chat about all sorts of things. I think we could find a lot of common ground......I know of a lot already........I identified with a lot of her comments.

So the question remains.......Who am I??

I think the person who is posting anne-onymously should complete the little questionnaire, just like Jan asked us to. (Sorry, I have so much trouble with spelling.)

I only know a few people who have a cappucino machine AND good chocolate at home. I'll have to narrow it down to guess who it might be. But for now, I'll have to finish eating my curry pie.
