Feast Number One Hundred & Thirty Five

Appetizer: Name two things that made you smile this week.

1. Waking up after sleeping for 6 hours straight. It’s amazing how good that feels..
2. Dancing around my cube singing “I quit, I quit, la-la-la-la-la-la” and meaning it.

Soup: Fill in the blank: Don’t you hate it when ________?

• Someone who has no idea why you quit your job starts giving people “reasons” why you quit – which just aren’t true!

Salad: When you can’t go to sleep, what is your personal remedy to help yourself drift into Lullabyland?

• Considering my insomnia issues, how apropos. If it’s just ideas running around in my head that are keeping me asleep, I try writing them down or (more recently) using my nifty voice recorder to record my thoughts so I can try and relax and get some sleep. If that doesn’t work, I crawl out of bed (so I don’t keep the hubby up) and head to the basement with a book. I read, I surf, I talk to the cats. Eventually, and hour or so before sunrise, I’ll usually pass out.

Main Course: What is something about which you’ve always wondered but have not yet found a good answer?

• What is normal?

Dessert: What is your favorite pasta dish?

• Angel hair – with Arabiatta (sp?) sauce.

Condiments:

1. What’s something that’s generally considered bad manners that you don’t think is a big deal?
   Swearing in public. I usually don’t approve of swearing around kids and tend to tell the hubby to be more careful, but otherwise profanity just doesn’t bother me at all. Granted, I did marry a guy in the military, live on a tonne of bases, and have a bit of a potty mouth myself…
2. What’s something you think should be considered good manners that you don’t think most people pay any attention to?
   I don’t know if this qualifies as manners as much as it does “common sense and hygiene” but: I can’t stand when people don’t wash their hands after going into the bathroom. Drives me nuts. And no, I am NOT touching anything the offending party has touched!
3. In what way are you especially well-mannered?
   Umm, none? Despite my parents best attempts to raise me well, I think my manners are pretty atrocious. I must have been sick the day they were covered at school…
4. In what way are you especially ill-mannered?
   I’m very bad at answering mail and sending thank you cards. Sometimes people will wait months for them…
5. If you owned a beautiful, enormous house high upon a hill, what would you name your manor?
