Friday's Feast :-)

It’s Friday, and it’s still raining (after 4 days – and 4 more days to come), so I don’t think we’ll be getting up to too much excitement this weekend. But in the meantime for your reading pleasure I present today “Friday’s Feast”. Bon appetite!

Appetizer
On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being highest) how much do enjoy watching sports on television?
Easy-peasy = A “1” is higher than I’d rate my enjoyment of sports on the telly. Neither my hubby nor I are big sports fans, although T does enjoy the occasional NASCar race. Which for the life of me, I can’t understand the enjoyment of. Guess ya gotta be there.

Soup
If you could completely memorize any one work of fiction, which one would you pick?
Right up there with watching sports on the television is the idea of memorizing a work of fiction. Can’t make me. Not gonna do it.

Salad
What is your favorite breakfast food?
Coffee. It is one of the 4 major food groups isn’t it? But seriously, once in a while I savour and enjoy good old bacon and eggs (easy up) with a side of toast.

Main Course
Name something fun you can do for less than $10.00.
Mini-golf. Rent WarioWare for the Wii. See a movie (yes – you can still find a theatre with tickets for less than $10 bucks). Bus to downtown to wander around on any given warm/dry summer night – the buskers in the inner-harbour are free entertainment. Bowling.

Dessert
How long does it usually take you to fall asleep?
This depends. Some nights it can take up to a couple of hours. Some nights it can take less than 30 minutes. Falling asleep, and staying asleep are not one of my strong suits. I thank the Lord for travel pills (always make me groggy, and they are non-addictive), and prescription sleeping pills.

Tell about a time when you had to be brave.

A myriad of moments of big and little bravery’s, but the first one that came to my mind was when I was around 5 or 6 years old. We spent out summers in Southampton, Ontario on Lake Huron, and for the most part – that time was spent on the beach. There was a jetty that went out a fair ways; one side was the calm side and the other side tended to be a bit breezy and a bit rougher. This one particular day the ‘calm’ said was a little more windy than normal, and I found myself swimming very close to the jetty. The undertow was very strong and my wee body was being pulled out into deeper water, and a little close to the jetty for my comfort. My very imaginative young brain could picture all manner of sea creature living in the jetty just waiting for a mid day snack on a little blond haired, blue eyed girl. My tiny tippy toes were quickly loosing ground, and my shouts for help becoming water slogged. In my mind I knew I had to be brave, and that someone would hear/see me. They did, and swam out (although given my height I suspect they only needed to walk to me) and rescued me. After that incident I became to become more tadpole than princess.

Which upcoming movie are you excited about seeing?

“Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix”! Nuf’ said!

Salad

Name an item you try to always have on hand.

Hand lotion. Not life saving, but it is hand softening.

Main Course

Imagine the most relaxing room you can think of. Now describe it!

I’ve dreamt about this room for years. In essence it would be a glorified library; wall-to-wall shelves full of books, big sunny windows and several comfy chairs, and a soft luxurious couch. A fireplace against one wall, so that in colder winter nights you can curl up and be warm and cozy. It would feel small and intimate when I wanted to be quiet and alone, yet inviting enough for friends to drop by and feel at home. Ahhhh, but my mind relaxed just at the thought.

On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being highest), how spiritual or religious are you?

I consider “Spiritual” and “Religious” to be almost two different things. So for this purpose I will separate them. Regarding “Spiritual “ on a scale of 1-10 I would consider myself to be a 9. For “Religious” I would count myself in a pseudo 3 position.

Discussing the differences between Spiritual and Religious is a topic for another day.
