Friday's Feast #5

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 Lynn. If I could change my first name, I would choose Paige, Olivia, Adrianna, or Lilly.

Soup

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

I would use soft fabrics such as chenille, cashmere, rayon, or a soft cotton/poly blend. My styles would have simple lines, no frills or ruffles, nothing too plunging in the front. My favorite colors are rich brown, teal, black, light pink, taupe, forest green, and burgundy.

Salad

What is your least favorite chore, and why?

That’s a tough one. I dislike grocery shopping – I don’t know why! And packing lunches for school. I’d rather clean the toilet!

Main Course

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

I am frightened of snakes. When I was very young, we lived in a new house in an area that was still being developed. One day, a long, black snake curled his way up the birdhouse pole on his way for some lunch. At first, it looked like a black garden hose, and apparently we had one of those. But a few minutes later, it was in a different position. Needless to say, it was a snake, and a very long one at that, and the neighbors had to come kill it since my dad wasn’t home. I also remember walking down the trail at BlueBird camp and seeing a snake (albeit a ribbon snake) right by my leg, poised and tongue flicking. I hate snakes!

I also fear rejection, but I won’t get into the hows and whys of that one. This would be toooooo long!

Dessert

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

I am sitting at a glass-topped computer table at the back of my living room. I can see a telephone, a computer speaker, a water cup, and a pencil cup in my peripheral vision at this moment. Not too exciting! But I’m glad to be back at the feast! I just couldn’t answer last week’s questions. Too emotional for me at the time.

Feel free to join in the merry-making at Friday's Feast!
