Friday Feast No. 126

What comes to your mind when you see the color orange?

    Orange is a bright, cheery color. So … bright, cherriness, I guess.

Soup
Did you ever get in trouble while you were in school? If so, what was it for?

    I had recently moved to a new school, and I wanted to make some friends. So, being the wise fourth-grader that I was, I thought it would help if I was mean. I wrote an “anonymous” mean note to a girl that someone had advised me to “stay away from.” It apparently wasn’t terribly anonymous, though. I got busted. And I still feel bad about writing the note.

Salad
Which topping(s) make up your perfect pizza?

    Extra cheese, pineapple and pepperoni. Just this week we tried a pesto, red pepper and chicken pizza, though, and it was pretty darn awesome.

Main Course
Do you believe in UFOs/aliens/etc.? Why or why not?

    No. I don’t have any long-winded reasoning. I understand all of the “how could we be the only ones?” arguments. At my core, though, I just don’t believe it.

Dessert
What color is your bedspread/comforter/quilt?

    It’s cream colored. I want to get some sort of cover for it (a duvet? is that what a duvet is?), but I haven’t done that yet.

Which celebrity (or celebrities) do you think will make headlines this year?

    Rockford would vote for Ralph Macchio. The safe bet would be Britney, Lindsay and Paris. But I’m going to go with Matt Dillon. I think it’s his year. Again.

Soup
They say that good things come in small packages? What is something little that you think is great?

    Poppy’s the greatest little person I’ve ever met. Other than that obvious answer: chocolate truffles; Malayan sun bears, M&Ms, iPods, small things jewelry, twiddlebugs.

Salad
Name a song that makes you want to dance.

    I was just working on a post about songs, and there were alot of them on that particular CD that made me want to dance. “Castanets” by Alejandro Escovedo, for example.

Main Course
What is your favorite font?

    I haven’t given fonts a lot of thought in quite awhile. I was always fond of Verdana.

Dessert
If you were to write a do-it-yourself article, what would it be about?

    What an interesting question! I sent my sister-in-law a quick how-to on how to code hyperlinks just the other day. I don’t know that that’s really a DIY topic, though. My article would probably have something to do with cooking. I tried to make a batch of DIY Hostess cupcakes, but they didn’t turn out so well. They were delicious, but they didn’t look like cupcakes at all.

Friday Feast No. 124

How do you usually celebrate on New Year’s Eve?

    Most years we stay home and, if we’re feeling particularly festive, we might break open a bottle of bubbly grape juice. I know, we’re totally crazy. This year, though, we’re actually going out to dinner! And then we’ll come home sometime before midnight to toast with the grape juice. We moved back into the Eastern time zone this year, so it’ll be the first time in years that we’ll actually be watching the ball drop at midnight rather than 11pm. I’m actually pretty excited about that.

Soup
Name one thing unexpected that happened to you in 2006.

    Holland. We moved there, and then (a whole week later) we moved back. It wasn’t a fun time.

Salad
Where was your favorite place that you visited in 2006?

    Harbor Island, SC. We had an unexpected vacation at the beach, and it marked the end of a lot of chaos for our family.

Main Course
What resolution is your top priority for 2007?

    I don’t normally make resolutions, and I’m hesitant to call this a “resolution” because it seems like it would be too easy to fall away from if I do that. But I’d like to lose about 40 pounds in 2007.

Dessert
Using just three words, describe 2006.

    Things fall apart. I know that sounds depressing, but a good part of 2006 felt like we were falling apart. Rest easy, though. We’re all better now.
