Yeah...It's Friday Feast Time! Friday Feast #178

I have a field trip to go on today with my oldest daughter so I am so glad it's Friday and I can do my favorite meme! Sit back and enjoy!

Appetizer
How many times per day do you usually laugh?

I laugh a lot in a day. I have a great life and I think that makes it easier to laugh at things! My kids make me laugh, T. is kinda funny (don't tell him I said that - It will just encourage him!), my sister, my Mom and my friends all make me laugh! Life in general is pretty funny!

Soup
What do your sunglasses look like?

I have some big black Juicy Couture Sunglasses. They are the fashion type not sport.

Salad
You win a free trip to anywhere on your continent, but you have to travel by train. Where do you go?

Can I go 2 place or one place via a quick stop over? I thought I could...I would love to go to see my family in Canada but I would want to go to Chicago first and visit my best friend from high school who I haven't seen in over 10 years!!!

Main Course
Name one thing you consider a great quality about living in your town/city.

Definitely the weather!!! Southwest Florida...the weather doesn't get better than this!

Dessert
If the sky could be another color, what color do you think would look best?

Oh Pink of course...then I could take off my rose colored glasses and really live!

Hope you enjoy this!

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!

Friday's Feast #176

Well it's Friday once again. The day I take the easy way out and blog about nothing! Here is your Friday's Feast

Appetizer
What is your favorite beverage?

I can't answer just one on this. I love water all the time, I love coffee in the morning and in the evenings I LOVE Stoli Vodka or Red Wine!

Soup
Name 3 things that are on your computer desk at home or work.

A big mess, Camera and my iPhone.

Salad
On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how honest do you think you are?

I like to think that I am pretty honest. I will not lie. I will omit some information at time but no lying. I learned a long time ago that I did not have the attention span to hold onto a lie. I would give myself a 9 on honesty!

Main Course
If you could change the name of one city in the world, what would you rename it and why?

Oh this one is hard but here is my stab at this! I am from Canada and it always irked me, when I was growing up, that there was a Niagara Falls on both sides (US and Canada) so when you went there you always had to tell people that you were on the Canadian side. Therefore I guess I would rename the American side American Falls as that is the name of the falls on the US side.

Dessert
What stresses you out? What calms you down?

Oh this one is easy...my children stress me out and my husband calms me down (the vodka doesn't hurt at all either)

Have a great day and

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!

Friday's Feast #175

It's Friday again and the one day of the week that I take the easy road and post the meme. Enjoy this feast!

Appetizer
What is your middle name? Would you change any of your names if you could? If so, what would you like to be called?

My middle name is Lorraine. When I was younger I would have changed it to Lynn. Reasons: That was my sister's middle name, it was short, there was a teenager who had really long hair and we all thought she was so cool on our street when I was young and her name was Lynn as well. Real crazy reasons!

Soup
If you were a fashion designer, which fabrics, colors, and styles would you probably use the most?

I would use pink and dark colors. I switch between them both. The fabrics would have to be really nice and soft. I love the feel of flannel so maybe I could design PJ's. I sure can't have anything hard or scratchy on my skin. Even rough cotton shirts are not soft enough for me.

Salad
What is your least favorite chore, and why?

I hate, hate, hate cleaning the bathroom. I think it is just a disgustingly filthy job. As we speak my cleaners are cleaning my house so I don't have to do the gross bathrooms. If I was cleaning up after myself I could do it but men are really gross in the bathroom!

Main Course
What is something that really frightens you, and can you trace it back to an event in your life?

I have a really horrible fear of swimming in lakes, rivers, ponds etc. Anyplace where my feet have to touch stuff that I can't identify and see. I am feeling anxious just writing about it! I have no reason that I can trace for this fear but I am very thankful that I live in Florida and where we are the water is crystal clear and we have a pool! If we go to the beach and the water is murky I cannot go in! Sometimes it helps if I wear shoes. Figure that one out???!!!

Dessert
Where are you sitting right now? Name 3 things you can see at this moment

I am sitting in my home office. I can see my two big dogs wrestling, a ton of papers all over my desk and a bottle of bright pink nail polish (I really need to put that away!).

Happy Friday to everyone and

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!

Feast One Hundred & Seventy Four

Welcome to my feast! It is cold outside but warm in here. Grab a coffee or a hot cup of tea and pull up a chair...enjoy this Friday's Feast!

Appetizer
When was the last time you received a surprise in the mail, and what was it?

Yesterday I checked my PO Box which I hadn't checked since before Christmas and there was a check for me for $200! I love checks in the mail!

Soup
If you could have a summer and/or winter home, where would you want it to be?

I will stay here in Southwest Florida for my winter home but I will have my summer home in Highlands, North Carolina for my summer home. I would also have a vacation home on Tybee Island which I would use throughout the year! I say if you are going to do it do it right!

Salad
Pick one: pineapple, orange, banana, apple, cherry.

Banana (I have a banana smoothie every day. I love bananas.

Main Course
Describe the nicest piece of clothing that you own.

I have a lot of nice clothes. Unfortunately I don't get to wear them very often. I am a stay at home Mom and there is not much of an occasion for a full length gown! It is black and very low cut in the front and the back. The body is close cut and the dress is full length. The back has 3 small black roses which attach a short train. I wore this dress as the maid of honor to my sister's wedding and loved her for it. I will wear it again!!!

Dessert
If you could forget one whole day from your life, which day would you choose to wipe from your memory?

I am so sorry but I would never want to do that. All of the memories I have stem from things that I have experienced that were good or bad...they have made me who I am today and I like that! Maybe one of the terrible days form high school that really wasn't as bad as it seemed to me then???

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!

Friday's Feast #172

As you know I have been doing the Friday's Feast now for about a month. I love this. It is something totally different from what I blog about and think about all day long. Grab yourself a cup of coffee and sit back and enjoy!!!

Appetizer
Make up a word and give us its definition.

Beautilicious - Beautiful and Delicious all at the same time

Soup

Fergie - Clumsy

Salad
What’s at the top of your Christmas wish list this year?

iPhone

Main Course
Name a scent that reminds you of someone special in your life.

Dessert
Who is someone on television that you feel probably shouldn’t be, and why?

Katie Couric - It is unfortunate and I hate to say this about anyone but she really isn't that bright is she? I know she has come a long way and all and she has carved a pretty nice trail for women but still she does say the dumbest things and her interviews are just sad. I think they have just promoted her to her demise.

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!

It's Friday so guess what I am blogging today? You guessed it. This is the Feast for today...Grab a cup of hot coffee and enjoy!

Friday's Feast

Appetizer
What was the last game you purchased?

The last game I bought was Monopoly Jr. Take my word for it, it is way, way better than having to play Candy Land any day!!!

Soup
Name something in which you don’t believe.

I don't believe in negativity, meanness, sadness and hate!

Salad
If you could choose a celebrity to be your boss, who would you pick?

I think I would pick Oprah. She has access to soooo much and does so many good things. I would like to be surrounded with that in my life! Unfortunately I couldn't even tell you the last time I watched her!

Main Course
What was a lesson you had to learn the hard way?

Patience and it is still an ongoing lesson in the "school of hard knocks"!

Dessert
Describe your idea of the perfect relaxation room.

A room colored in greens and beige's, lot's of places to lay down and read, soothing water sounds, gentle lighting (dim but enough to read)...can you tell I am really missing reading right now????

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!

Friday's Feast #170

After a week off due to Thanksgiving we are right back on track again with another Friday Feast! Hope you enjoy it...

Appetizer
What is your favorite carnival/amusement park ride?

I have always and will always love The Zipper...would I ever ride it now? No way. As we grow older I think we realize just how many things can go wrong on a crazy, unnatural ride like that!!! Will I die a thousand deaths inside the first time that I have to watch my children ride it? Oh most definitely!

Soup

How do you react in uncomfortable social situations?

I guess I haven't been in one in so long I am not really sure how I react. I probably become more loud and outgoing than I usually am due to being nervous about it.

Salad
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy discussing deep, philosophical topics?

Probably about a 2 or 3. I really have so much on my mind right now that there is no room for deep, philosophical conversations...now if someone wanted to discuss my grocery list I would be able to hang alright!

Main Course

Did you get a flu shot this year? If not, do you plan to?

I was going to but I never got around to it so probably not. I had meant to get one for my girls but never did that either. I am calling as I type this! Thanks for the reminder!

Dessert

Approximately how many hours per week do you spend watching television?

Maybe about 4 or 5. I don't even know what movies are out this season!!!

Hope you have a great weekend...my sister is flying in tonight so I know I will!

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!

Friday's Feast One Hundred & Sixty Nine!

Last week I started a feature that was a ton a fun. It is a fun little thing which was started about 169 Friday's ago! Friday's Feast runs every Friday you are to answer the questions which are set up like a full course meal. So sit back, grab a fork and dig right in!

Appetizer
What was your first “real” job?

I was a button and a badge maker for a small plastics company that my Mom worked for. I think I was about 14 but my pay went on my Mom's (now isn't that creative???) so there was no trouble with the child labor laws!!!

Soup
Where would you go if you wanted to spark your creativity?

I am pretty lucky. I can be creative just about anywhere as long as it is outside. I can be creative on a long nature walk, hike or even just a day at the beach!

Salad
Complete this sentence: I am embarrassed when…

ummmm...that is so hard for me. I have pretty thick skin so it really takes a lot to embarrass me. I can't even remember that last time that I was embarrassed!!!

Main Course
What values did your parents instill in you?

My parents instilled in me and my sister incredible work ethics. There is not a job that her and I take on that we don't put our whole hearts into. They also instilled a very strong sense of fairness which has served us both well. We were very fortunate to grow up with the parents that we had. They were an incredible balance for each other.


Dessert

Name 3 fads from your teenage years.

Big Hair
Tight Jeans
Neon Colored Clothing

Hope you enjoyed this Friday's Feast!!!

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!

A couple of days ago I was searching through a bunch of blogs and I came across a couple that had something called Friday's Feast. They were done by number and every Friday they posted diffent questions for people to answer set up like a full course meal! Well I was intrigued to say the least. I am always impressed with ideas that people come up with. I just had to get involved and try.
