Appetizer
Name a great website you would recommend to others.
Mine, of course! LOL If I'm getting away from shameless self-promotion, I'd recommend Organized Home or Recipezaar - Organized Home has a lot of good ideas about decluttering and keeping your household running smoothly, and Recipezaar is my go-to source for good recipes.
Soup
On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 as highest), how often do you dream at night?
I'm sure I dream every night, but I very seldom remember them. So if I'm rating how often I know that I've dreamed, I'd have to say a 2 on a 1-10 scale.
Salad
Did you have a pet as a child? If so, what kind and what was its name?
I had several pets. My first was a kitten named Melody. I then had another kitten named Alexander, a variety of goldfish, a crawfish named Clovis, a dog named Angel, a horse named Missy, and another dog named JB.
Main Course
If you had the chance to star in a commercial, what would you choose to advertise?
Coffee. I couldn't function without it, so I'd be happy to talk about it.
Dessert
What is your favorite kind of hard candy?
I'm really not a big fan of hard candy. I do like peppermints, though, and the occasional butterscotch.

Friday's Feast
What is this, my fourth or fifth? I've lost track.
Feast Number One Hundred & Thirty-Nine
Appetizer
When you were a child, which crayon color was your favorite?
Red-violet or aquamarine.
Soup
On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being highest), how likely would you be to change jobs if it required you to move?
Depends on where it required me to move to. If it's somewhere cold, the answer is -5. It would have to be the best job in the whole wide world to get me to move somewhere with actual winter. If it's somewhere closer to Brian or to family (assuming that it's a good job for me to move to), the answer is 10.
Salad
Take all the numbers in your birthday and your phone number and add them up, one by one. What’s the total?
Fifty-nine.
Main Course
Have you ever “re-gifted” anything? If so, what was it and who did you pass it on to?
I'm sure I have, but I can't recall right now what I've done that with or who I gave it to.
Dessert
Name something you need from the store.
Soy milk.

Friday's Feast #5
Feast One Hundred & Twenty Nine
Appetizer
What was one of the fashion fads when you were a teenager?
Legwarmers. And pegged pants. And the preppy look - pink and green. Ah, the 80s.
Soup
Name one thing you think people assume about you when they first meet you.
I think people probably assume I'm pretty quiet and shy. That may be the case at first, but once I get to know you, look out - anything is fair game.
Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how hard do you work?
At what? My actual job? Most days, it feels like an 11 or 12, but it's like running on a treadmill - you go and go, but never actually *get* anywhere. No real progress is made, because three things always pop up to replace the one you just got off your desk. Some days, though, regardless of the giant piles of crap and my ever-increasing to-do list, I'm just not in the mood. Those days, the effort level probably hovers somewhere around a 3.
Main Course
If you were given a free 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl to sell anything you currently own, what would you advertise?
Anything I currently own. Hmm. My house, so I can buy one that's a bit smaller (and has a smaller house payment to go along with it).
Dessert
Fill in the blank: I love to ________ when it is _________.
I love to curl up with a good book and read when it is gray and rainy outside.

Friday's Feast #4
Feast One Hundred & Twenty Seven
Appetizer
Which television shows do you just refuse to miss?
I don't watch TV much to speak of, so I miss them all. LOL And I don't feel like my life is any less full for that.
Soup
Who did you last speak to on the telephone?
K - I talked to him after J's doctor appointment this afternoon, and later this evening, too.
Salad
How many pillows do you keep on your bed?
Four.
Main Course
Name one addition to your computer (software, hardware, etc.) that you'd love to have.
Hmm. I've got a scanner, a photo printer, an external hard drive - maybe a fax machine? Or just a crapload of additional memory.
Dessert
What is your favorite foreign food?
I like lots of different kinds of foreign food - Italian, Thai, Indian, Greek - but I guess my favorite is Mexican. I think I could eat Mexican food (OK, more likely Tex-Mex here rather than true Mexican, but still) pretty much every day and be quite happy with that.

Friday's Feast #3
Feast One Hundred & Twenty Six
Appetizer
What comes to mind when you see the color orange?
Unfortunately, the University of Texas. OK, their school colors are burnt orange and white, but every time I see orange, it reminds me of UT and I shudder.
Soup
Did you ever get in trouble while you were in school? If so, what was it for?
I never got into serious trouble - I was probably darned near the biggest teacher's pet around (because I was smart and liked school and did my homework and got good grades - I was far too shy to suck up!). I do remember almost getting detention in high school for being in the parking lot at lunch one day. We had a closed campus and weren't supposed to leave during the school day, and one of the priests saw me coming back in from my car (I'd gone to get something out of it, I didn't leave - see above, too shy to dream of breaking rules!). I managed to avoid it, but for a panicked moment I thought, my parents are going to kill me for getting detention and I didn't even do anything! I never had detention in high school, ever.
Salad
Which topping(s) make up your perfect pizza?
Canadian bacon and pineapple. Yum! And of course you have to eat pizza with ranch dressing. I learned that little trick in college.
Main Course
Do you believe in UFOs/aliens/etc.? Why or why not?
Sure, I believe in UFOs and aliens. I can't believe God would go to the effort of creating this great big universe and then just put this one little planet in the middle of all of it as the only place where intelligent life would be. Just because I can't see the UFOs and aliens doesn't mean they aren't out there.
Dessert
What color is your bedspread/comforter/quilt?
It's a rather drab sage green/brown. I must replace it when I have the cash to do so, because it depresses me.

Friday's Feast #2
Feast One Hundred & Twenty-Five
Appetizer
Which celebrity (or celebrities) do you think will make headlines this year?
Don't know, don't care. I don't pay a whole lot of attention to celebrity goings-on anyway, I've got better things to do with my time.
Soup
They say that good things come in small packages? What is something little that you think is great?
Godiva chocolate. Itty bitty pieces, but oh, boy, are they ever good.
Salad
Name a song that makes you want to dance.
Hawaii Five-O by The Ventures. We played this at every single victory dance (after football games - we didn't always win, but we always had a dance) in high school, and I can't help but flash back every time I hear it. Also, Use It Up & Wear It Out by Pat & Mick. This song makes me think of APO (Alpha Phi Omega) dances in college and my friend Tony Lisenby, who was a dancing fiend, and hair dancing and the Gang of Four (me, and my friends Deona, Brian and Sean - if my mother knew how much fun we really had, she'd have yanked me back home and had me going to the local community college). Lots of fun, but my neck can't stand that kind of abuse anymore. I wouldn't be able to hold my head up straight for a week at this point if I tried.
Main Course
What is your favorite font?
For business-type things, Georgia or Times New Roman. For fun, Ravie. I should get out and see what fonts are out there other than the ones that came with my computer.
Dessert
If you were to write a do-it-yourself article, what would it be about?
That assumes that there's any kind of do-it-yourself thing I can do! If you think of do-it-yourself in the usual sense, i.e., home improvement and repairs, forget it. I'm pretty hopeless without specific directions, and even then, there aren't many projects I'd feel comfortable tackling myself. I'm always afraid I'll make a somewhat minor and inexpensive problem into a major and expensive one, so I opt to call professionals. I have installed dimmer switches by myself, though. Maybe I could write a DIY article on that.

Friday's Feast
Another interesting thing I've found to toss into my blog.
Friday's Feast #124
Appetizer
How do you usually celebrate on New Year's Eve?
Usually? I don't. Not really. It used to be my wedding anniversary, and we'd go out to dinner or something, occasionally go to a bed and breakfast or nice hotel for the weekend, but I've never been much for a big New Year's Eve do. Not since college, anyway. This is the first year that New Year's Eve *officially* won't be my wedding anniversary, and that's kind of weird.
Soup
Name one thing unexpected that happened to you in 2006.
Just one? Being stuck at this job was unexpected - I'd hoped to be on to bigger and better things months ago. Also, finding out my dad has Parkinson's - didn't expect that.
Salad
Where was your favorite place that you visited in 2006?
Well, I didn't really visit anywhere. No vacation, no travel, the only place I went was home to see family. My last actual vacation was in 1993. My life really is fairly pitiful in some respects, isn't it? I need to get out more. But that would mean needing more money than the current budget allows for.
Main Course
What resolution is your top priority for 2007?
Finding a new job and getting my finances in order.
Dessert
Using just three words, describe 2006.
Long, wearying, difficult.
