Friday Feast

Appetizer

What are you proud of?

I'm proud of anything I sew that fits where and how it is supposed to: slipcovers, skirts, jumpers. I'm about to take on 9 little girls' Israeli folk dance dresses for Dumpling's ballet dance class recital. I hope I'll be able to be proud of those! Ahem.


Soup
What is the best thing you’ve ever won as a prize?

I won a blue ribbon for an art contest in 6th grade. But, no. I won a silver candle at a Christmas "white elephant" gift exchange. No, that's not it either. I think I'm more about experience than material, so I'd say that my favorite prize was a spot in the 1983 Arizona All-State Choir.

Salad
Name something you do that is a waste of time.

I check my sitemeter -- more than once a day.

Main Course
In what year of your life did you change the most?

I changed a lot with many a milestone: graduation, independence, marriage and motherhood. But I think last year was perhaps the biggest change. My faith was stretched through private personal circumstances as well as a bitter experience with an unreliable person. And it was the first year anyone ever breathed a word to me about my being on the older side of the Titus 2 exhortation.

Dessert
Where is a place you consider to be very tranquil?

In the car -- alone.

I second being in the car *alone* as a very tranquil place to be. And I also remember the first time I was described as an "older woman like in Titus 2". I know it was meant as a compliment...but still! : )

You definitely deserve the award as well, and I am glad Barb did it. Hasn't this been fun? It is VERY hard to pick only 5 (and I wanted to pick you, too), but it has been fun to read some new ones as well. Love your menu. I love being alone! Doesn't happen often, except on my way to work and back.

Really? What's a sitemeter?
Just kidding. I check mine lots, too.
I loved how you described being proud of the things you sew! I would be proud if I just sewed something. Period. Doesn't have to fit, doesn't even have to look like it was supposed to. If I was able to remember how to thread the machine, it would be a success. :)

I really need to get something to eat. I just read a recipe at BooMama's and now I am seeing the photo of this dish and instead of paying attention to the lovely writing you do all the time, I am thinking,"Is that guac? It looks like guac. I could go for some guac."
I have been sick and now I guess I must be all better...
