Appetizer
What was the very last song you listened to?

The “Baby Einstein: Neighborhood Animals” theme song.

Soup
What is one company/store/corporation you would recommend that people stay away from?

I don’t care for Wal-Mart. If there’s a locally owned alternative, I’d prefer to patronize that. And I’d recommend that others do the same. (writing that made me feel old and crochety.)

Salad
On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy having your picture made?

3. I’m a scrapbooker, though, so I feel obligated to appear in the photos every now and again.

Main Course
Besides a bookmark, what is something you’ve used to keep your place in a book?

Whatever’s nearby — Kleenex, Post-Its, envelopes. I’m currently using an old jukebox label for “Everybody Needs Love” and “Only the Heart Within You” by Stephen Bishop.

Dessert
Name a food that you like that most people don’t.

Cookie pudding.

Name three things you are wearing today.

An orange polo shirt, stripey green socks (Give me a break, eh? Rockford packed my bag.) and oatmeal cookie perfume from Bath Junkie.

Soup
Who was the last person you hugged?

My sweet potato Pi!

Salad
What do you like to order from your favorite fast food place?

I used to like the Filet O’Fish from McDonalds, but I don’t really have a favorite fast food place.

Main Course

I rarely feel “energized,” but I’m least sleepy in the middle of the day.

Never internalize cold ham or leaky eggplant.

Appetizer
What are some lyrics you have misheard (such as, instead of “Gettin’ Jiggy With It” you heard “Kick a chicken with it”)?

“We can dance, we can dance. Everybody look at your pants.” You have to admit, “everybody look at your hands” doesn’t make a whole lot more sense. Then again, neither does the rest of “Safety Dance.”

Soup
What is the worst movie you have ever seen?

“Men with Guns” was pretty awful. But “Talladega Nights” was the first movie I’ve ever walked out of.

Salad
Using the letters from your favorite number, write a sentence. Example: Tomorrow has really easy experiences.

I don’t have a favorite number.

Main Course
What was the most interesting news story you have heard this week?

Jessica Simpson and John Mayer. I read about this on the cover of People magazine today at Wal-Mart. I had to call my friend Amy to offer my condolences. (I haven’t been paying much attention to the news lately.)

Dessert
Which word(s) would you choose to describe your wardrobe?

Boring. Lackluster. Khaki.
