Friday Feast No. 115

Appetizer
Approximately how many hours per week do you spend reading other blogs?

    A total of three, maybe. I have a long, long list of blogs I frequent. I don’t spend alot of time at each one, but it takes awhile to get through the list.

Soup
Your community wants everyone to give one thing to put into a time capsule. What item would you choose to include?

    An iPod Nano, so the Future People can laugh at our bulky, primitive “technology” while they download music directly into their brains. That’s right. The future will be creepy. George Orwell taught us that.

Salad
What is the most interesting tourist attraction you’ve ever visited?

    I met Johnny Cash’s mom at the Johnny Cash museum. That was interesting. I was very young, though, and didn’t appreciate it at all at the time.

Main Course
If you could give an award to anyone for anything, who would it be and what would the award be titled?

    The Mary Poppins Award, to my sister-in-law. We tease her about being “practically perfect in every way,” but I really am in awe at how together she is. She’s a stay-at-home mom who homeschools three children, and still she has a clean house and makes dinner most every night. And she volunteers. She’s the mom I try to model myself after.

    But I worry about her, that she doesn’t reserve enough time for herself. So the prize for the Mary Poppins Award would be a housekeeper and a week alone at the Miraval Resort. Obviously, Oprah would be involved in giving the MPA. So my sister-in-law would probably be getting a car and some pretty, pretty baubles as well.

Dessert
What do you think your favorite color reveals about your personality?

    That I’m indecisive. I can’t settle on a single favorite. I like purple and pink. And blue. And brown.

The Friday Feast is a weekly meme intended to “feed your mind by asking thought-provoking, mind-stimulating questions.”
