FRIDAY'S FEAST - ROUND UP: THE FIRST OF 2008

I really need to be better about posting. I started doing the Feast so that I knew I would get in at least one post a week - we see how well that is working out. Need to try harder.

Feast One Hundred & Seventy Seven
January 25th, 2008
Appetizer
How many times per day do you usually laugh?
Clearly it depends on the day. Sometimes it's a lot, sometimes never.

Soup
What do your sunglasses look like?
Big, round bug-eyed, Jackie Onassis glasses. They're scratched but I wear them to drive anyway. I never buy expensive sunglasses as I am forever losing or breaking them. I used to have the most awesome pair, they were small and round like John Lennon glasses and they were in green frames and the lenses went from blue to green. I adored them - until my mother sat on them when she got into my car one day.

Salad
You win a free trip to anywhere on your continent, but you have to travel by train. Where do you go?
I go to the Grand Canyon, it seems like an amazing adventure, and I've never been there.

Main Course
Name one thing you consider a great quality about living in your town/city.
Close to 3 major metropolitan areas.

Dessert
If the sky could be another color, what color do you think would look best?
Pink! Ever watch a great sunset? Imagine if the sky looked like that ALL the time!

Feast One Hundred & Seventy Six
January 18th, 2008
Appetizer
What is your favorite beverage?
unsweetened, decaf iced tea

Soup
Name 3 things that are on your computer desk at home or work.
lamp, paperwork, post-its

Salad
On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how honest do you think you are?
9.5 I hate lying.

Main Course
If you could change the name of one city in the world, what would you rename it and why?
I'd change Kansas City, Missouri. We have a Kansas City in KANSAS! We don't need two. Missouri should find their own name.

Dessert
What stresses you out? What calms you down?
Money (or lack thereof) stresses me out, music calms me down.

Feast One Hundred & Seventy Five
January 11th, 2008
Appetizer
What is your middle name? Would you change any of your names if you could? If so, what would you like to be called?
Not telling, no I would not change my name. (I'd change my last name if /when I get married.)

Soup
If you were a fashion designer, which fabrics, colors, and styles would you probably use the most?
Deep jewel colors, like purple, magenta and emerald in silks or satins.

Salad
What is your least favorite chore, and why?
Scrubbing the bathroom

Main Course
What is something that really frightens you, and can you trace it back to an event in your life?
Jumping bugs frighten me [crickets, grasshoppers, and especially praying mantises]. I was never fond of them, but then in junior high I was in our in-ground pool and a cricket jumped from the side of the pool right down the front of my bathing suit.

Dessert
Where are you sitting right now? Name 3 things you can see at this moment.
My room; I see books, my bed and my purse.

Appetizer
When was the last time you received a surprise in the mail, and what was it?
I received a poem in the mail last week from a friend who said I was his inspiration for it.

Soup
If you could have a summer and/or winter home, where would you want it to be?
Bermuda; too bad the real estate tax for foreigners is 100%.

Salad
Pick one: pineapple, orange, banana, apple, cherry.
PINEAPPLE!

Main Course
Describe the nicest piece of clothing that you own.
I just got a beautiful new navy suit for Christmas.

Dessert
If you could forget one whole day from your life, which day would you choose to wipe from your memory?
All my past experiences make me who I am and forgetting any of them would change that.
