Friday's Feast time again:
Appetizer
What is the weather like today where you live?
Hot and sunny, although there is a chance of a thunderstorm this afternoon. We had one yesterday, which made this morning nice and cool.
Soup
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how career-minded are you?
8? I'm still trying to figure out what I want my legal career to look like, so I'm pretty focused right now.
Salad
What type of window coverings do you have in your home? Blinds, curtains, shutters, etc.?
Curtains in my room and the living room, blinds everywhere else.
Main Course
Name something that instantly cheers you up.
My nephew!
Dessert
How many times do you hit the snooze button on a typical morning?
Two or three times. It's a terrible habit - I should just set the alarm later, but I'm always optimistic I'll actually get up early for a change. Plus I like just lying in bed, thinking of what the day might bring.

Friday's Feast 193
Friday's Feast:
Appetizer
Do you consider yourself to be an optimist or a pessimist?
I consider myself a realist - hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
Soup
What is your favorite color of ink to write with?
Black. It's bold and straightforward. When I was in law school I did have to keep my inner child entertained by using various colored highliters for my schoolbooks, though. I preferred green and orange for that.
Salad
How often do you get a manicure or pedicure? Do you do them yourself or go to a salon and pay for them?
I do my own nails - manicure once a week, and a pedicure every three weeks or so in the summer. I love buying nail polish - my sister says I have a hundred versions of the same shade of pink. That is not entirely accurate.
Main Course
Have you ever won anything online? If so, what was it?
I "won" a few advance reader books from LibraryThing.
Dessert
In which room in your house do you keep your home computer?
My computer is in my bedroom, and my mom's is in the living room.

Friday's Feast time again...
Appetizer
When you drink soda/pop/coke, do you prefer to drink it from the bottle, a can, or after pouring it into a cup?
I prefer it in a cup with ice, but after that from a can with a straw.
Soup
What television show are you willing to stay up late to watch?
Battlestar Galactica! It's on at 10 p.m. our time, which is late for me.
Salad
Name one person, place, or thing you think of as brilliant.
J.J. Abrams - the man behind Lost and Alias, and the new Star Trek!
Main Course
Would you be willing to work 4 10-hour days instead of 5 8-hour days in order to save gas?
Yes, absolutely - unfortunately the courthouse does not yet run on that schedule. Then again, 10 hours at the court would be a pretty long day.
Dessert
If you were a superhero, what would you call yourself?
Wonder Woman! So I could have an invisible jet, and a golden lasso of truth!

What was your favorite cartoon when you were a child?
Superfriends! Except for the Wondertwins. I hated them. But I totally wanted an invisible jet like Wonder Woman's.
Soup
Pretend you are about to get a new pet. Which animal would you pick, and what would you name it?
I would get a cat and name it Marcus Aurelius.
Salad
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy getting all dressed up for a special occasion?
This depends some on the occasion. I like getting dressed up for weddings, if I can find a dress. I don't like getting dressed up just to go out to dinner or something, though. So I guess that averages out to a 7.
Main Course
What kind of music do you listen to while you drive?
Lately I've been listening to a lot of showtunes: Evita, Chess, Phantom, Little Mermaid. When I listen to the radio it's mostly pop, although my favorite station is no longer on the air. I'd love an 80's station, but we don't have one yet. I do love to sing along, so I probably look a little crazy when I'm driving.
Dessert
When was the last time you bought a clock? And in which room did you put it?
I bought a little desk clock for my desk at work, back in August. I don't trust the computer clock, and there isn't a wall clock I can see from my cubicle. It's just a little digital alarm clock, but very cute.

Appetizer
Given the choice, would you prefer to live in the country or in the city?
Well, where I currently live has the best of both worlds: I'm in the city, but the country (well, desert) is only a 15 minute drive (at most). So we have all of the cultural benefits of the city, and the good shopping, but can get out into nature quickly.
Soup
Who is the cutest kid you know?
My nephew, of course!
Salad
Fill in the blank: I couldn’t believe it when I heard ___________.
...Caprica had been greenlit! This is the prequel to Battlestar Galactica, and it seems the writer's strike helped with getting it approved, as the idea had already been tossed around.
Main Course
If you could star in a commercial for one of your favorite products, which one would you want to advertise?
Netflix!
Dessert
What type(s) of vitamins and/or supplements do you take on a regular basis?
I take a generic multivitamin. I don't like taking a lot of pills, but I like the extra vitamin C and the iron.

Friday - er - Sunday's Feast:
Appetizer
If you could be any current celebrity for one whole week, who would you want to be?
This is a tough question. Would I be me, just in a celebrity's body (like Freaky Friday)? Or would I actually become that person? If I could be me in another person's body, I think I would be Britney Spears, so maybe I could help her out of her sad situation. If I would actually be that celebrity, I think Jennifer Garner, because she seems so normal, and hey, Ben Affleck.
Soup
On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how much do you enjoy talking on the phone?
I think a 5 or so? I don't talk on the phone a lot, and then mostly to my sister. Email is the way to go.
Salad
Name a charitable organization to which you have donated (or would like to).
The food bank.
Main Course
What is a food you like so much you could eat it every single day for a month?
This one's easy: Chocolate!
Dessert
Have you or anyone in your family had the flu this year?
No, we all had our flu shots as usual, and so far we've been lucky. I did have a pretty bad cold earlier in the winter.

Feast 180:
Appetizer
Have you ever played a practical joke on anyone? If so, what did you do and who was your victim?
I can't recall anything in particular. I've been the victim of a few, because I'm pretty gullible.
Soup
What do your salt and pepper shakers look like?
They are just the plain "disposable" ones from the store. Although we have a Christmas set where the salt is a Reindeer and the pepper is Santa.
Salad
Where is the next place you plan to visit (on vacation or business)?
Orlando! Unless I can talk my sister into a weekend trip to Vegas, anyway.
Main Course
What kind of lotion or cream do you use to keep your hands from getting too dry?
I've tried almost every lotion available, but I think I've finally found one that helps: Eucerin Calming Cream. I have very dry skin on my hands, and of course I live in the desert so the air is dry almost the whole year. This stuff really seems to help.
Dessert
Make up a dessert, tell us its ingredients, and give it a name.
One of the restaurants in the mall (that isn't there anymore) had a fabulous sundae: coffee ice cream with chocolate syrup and chocolate ice cream with caramel syrup, and whipped cream, cookie pieces and a cherry on top. I don't remember what they called it, but I'll call it delicious! Or maybe Choco-coffee caramel whip dream. Yum.

What is your favorite beverage?
Margaritas!! Coffee runs a close second, though.
Soup
Name 3 things that are on your computer desk at home or work.
My computer desk at home has a pencil holder (full of pens, pencils, a lint roller, and a letter opener), a CD holder, and a calculator. It used to have a cute little stuffed ladybug, but my nephew talked me out of it and it now resides at his house. How did he do that? "Auntie, I don't have a stuffed ladybug." "Would you like one?" "Yes, please." How could I resist?
Main Course
If you could change the name of one city in the world, what would you rename it and why?
No idea.
Dessert
What stresses you out? What calms you down?
Stress: Having little or no control over the outcome of a situation.
Calms: Books!

What was your first “real” job?
During college I worked as a receptionist at the front desk of my dorm. After college, my first job was for a company that made electronic dog training products - "shock collars." I started in the order entry department taking catalog orders, then moved on to be the person who printed the shipping documents.
Soup
Where would you go if you wanted to spark your creativity?
If I could go anywhere? I think to a cabin in the woods somewhere, where I could just have time to think and get away.
Salad
Complete this sentence: I am embarrassed when…
everyone else seems to know what is going on and I have no clue.
Main Course
What values did your parents instill in you?
Hard work, taking care of family, the importance of education
Dessert
Name 3 fads from your teenage years.
Oh dear, my teenage years were the 80's so this is embarrassing. How about legwarmers, fingerless lace gloves, and Duran Duran?
