Friday's Feast

Well...the regular chef over at Friday's Feast has been having computer problems so Jodi over at Beacon of Hope created one that I just had to take part in. Her first question is really hard and in some ways disturbing but I'll get over that one as soon as I ingest the 3 pounds of peanut butter kisses upstairs in the freezer! Not really Jodi, it was a good question but I think I need some paxil now. ;-)

If you want to join us, go check out Jodi's page and also leave me a comment with your link so I can see what your answer is to #1.

If you learned today you were going to die tomorrow, name three things you would do.

Wow…what a horrible thought. I would definitely spend the entire day with my family first and foremost. I would eat all the stuff I never dare touch because I’m always on a diet and I would go get a full spa treatment.

What is your very first memory?

It’s really weird but it’s sitting in my bedroom at my grandmother’s house looking up at these felt pictures depicting nursery rhymes. I figure I had to be under the age of 4 because we moved out of her house when I was 4 and ended up in Los Angeles. I have those pictures to this day and sometimes I just look at them and wonder why there were so special that I would remember them in this way.

Name one service you are willing to pay for and one you are not.

I am so willing to pay someone to clean my house but CarGuy would have a conniption!! I’ve never had anyone clean my house for me but I just know it would be awesome! I am not willing to pay someone to color my hair. I’ve been coloring my hair (gasp..choke…that’s not your natural haircolor?!?) for years and I can’t see paying someone a hundred dollars or more when I can spend less than $10 for a box that takes me less than 45 minutes start to finish to use.

Main Course
Do you make your bed every day?

Most of the time I do but lately I’ve been just pulling up the sheets since we haven’t really been using the comforter and I have it all nicely folded at the foot of the bed. I did make it today though because CarGuy’s aunt is coming to visit and she hasn’t seen our new fancy-dancy bedroom furniture so I wanted it to look nice.

Dessert
Name the most significant thing you learned this week.

Don’t shake a sealed container!! Obviously!!

Now wasn't that fun? I think we are going to the County Fair this weekend so maybe I'll have exciting stories of pigs, cows, cowboys, and quilts to share! Yeehaw!!

Time for another:

When was the last time you had your hair cut/trimmed?
I just had a haircut on Friday! Before that it was probably a good 6 months – long hair is good that way.

Soup
Name one thing you miss about being a child.
No responsibilities!!! When I was a kid I couldn’t wait to grow up and now all I want to do is go back to the days when all I had to worry about was whether I was going to ride my bike or not that day!!

Salad
Pick one: butter, margarine, olive oil.
Depends on what I’m using it on but I tend to stay away from margarine if I can – it seems too fakey-fakey to me. I will use that yogurt spread though.

Main Course
If you could learn another language, which one would you pick, and why?
Spanish definitely! We do mission work with an orphanage in Mexico and nearly all the kids speak only Spanish. The last time I was down there the language barrier really was a problem. I’m trying to learn but it’s really slow going.

Dessert
Finish this sentence: In 5 years I expect to be…
At my goal weight, debt-free (except for my house), and doing more traveling for fun.

Time for the Friday Feast everyone!!

If you could live on another continent for 1 year, which one would you choose?

Wow...this is a hard question! I think I would pick Australia because they speak English for the most part but there's lots of different topography to be had. I don't think it would get boring exploring this continent!

Which browser do you use to surf the Internet?

Internet Explorer but I'm open to something better.

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how much do you know about the history of your country?

Unfortunately I'd have to give myself a 5. A big part of our history is wrapped up in war and whenever we would get to the war sections of history I would tend to glaze over. I just can't stay engaged. I'm much more interested in the sociology of the people - how they lived, what their surroundings looked like, what they dreamed about for their children, stuff like that, ya know?

Main Course

Finish this sentence: Love is…

...something you can't live without but something that makes you wish you were dead at times.

Dessert

Have you ever been in or near a tornado?

Oh, yes, growing up on the eastern plains of Colorado will do that to a girl!
