I’ve never joined the Friday Feast before, and I’m not sure I want to participate in a meme every day (it no longer seems to have a valid link, anyway). But, I’ve got so much to do today that I’m jumping like drops of water in a hot skillet. Do y’all have days like that? It’s one of those days that I wish I was twins. I’d make the other one do all the work while I sat back and played.
I don’t want to be silent(and if you have ever visited, you know that’s right), so I’ll just answer questions and post again later today. I’m compiling some lists for my Link Love. The choices aren’t easy, because this week I’ve found some very appealing blogs. Come back and see who I finally picked.
Appetizer
What are you proud of?
That’s a loaded question to ask a Texan, because there is a vicious rumor going around that we brag a lot. My Momma taught me that bragging is not polite, and I learned my manners. But, since the meme asked, I suppose it’s alright to say.
The thing that pleases me most is that I have been fortunate enough to work as a professional storyteller for the last twenty years. It is definitely my “calling.” Many people get stuck in jobs they despise; but I like mine <most of the time. There are days, however (when I’m dealing with rowdy eighth graders), that I question my love of my occupation.
Soup
What is the best thing you’ve ever won as a prize?
I don’t believe I have ever won a prize–how sad is that? I’d ask someone to award me one, but I’m afraid of what I’d get.
Salad
Name something you do that is a waste of time.
There is a tie for this answer. One would be trying to keep the litter boxes clean with five cats in the house. The other would be trying to keep the toilets clean with two men in the house.
Main Course
In what year of your life did you change the most?
Like the surface of a pond, I change constantly. But, my life change the most in the year 2000. A long marriage dissolved and I had to start remembering who I was.
Dessert
Where is a place you consider to be very tranquil?
Around this house, there isn’t a place that is tranquil. But, I feel most at peace when I am in the gardens or sitting at my spinning wheel. Listening to the gentle whirr of the wheel as it spins induces an almost meditative trance.

There IS a difference between cats, litterbox and men and toilet ! Cat’s are unable to clean their litterbox themselves, but men can do ! The litterbox AND the toilet ! I think what a woman can do men could do too ! Look we even are driving cars !
Forgot to tell you, I noted down 4 links for TT which were nice, but I couldn’t find a 5th ! What should I do now ?
Gattina, theoretically men could clean the toilet…but they don’t!
Do you want to use the heart logo? I can e-mail you the html code, or you can view my page source and hack it yourself. OR, you can just list them on a post…it’s Link Love any way you look at it.
I loved your answers to the Friday Feast. Everyone go look at Gattina’s!
I had a hard time thinking abt soup too! coz i thought i’ve never won anything until i recall my younger yrs.hehehe! your description abt dessert made me feel relaxed! Great feast!!!
Hey now….I’m Texan. And proud of it. *giggles*
I’ve truly enjoyed your first feast. You did a super bang up job.
Cats? 5 litter boxes? Wow….I have two cats, and that is a waste sometimes, isn’t it?
My feast is at the table, drop by if you can.
I enjoyed your feast! Mine’s up!

My Life as Annie!
Thanks jenny, Hootnanni and Annie. Set an extra plate, because I’m on my way over.
You SPIN…how cool is that! Very delicious dining. And, you are very gifted as a storyteller!
Have a super Friday.
Thanks, Becky. Yes, I spin. I’ll put pics of my spinning wheels up someday. Just saw your dessert, and it is lovely!
lol your salad made me giggle. It is so true it just has to be funny to keep ya from crying..lol
I really enjoyed your Feast and you are right us Texans can get a wee bit proud can’t we..lol
I’m not participating in FF, but for your first time out you are right in the groove. Thanks for commenting on my post for WW. Oregon wasn’t a state I had even thought about and that’s where I was born and raised. Have a great weekend.
This was great!
I just started to do the FF a few weeks ago too… it kinda grew on me.
Great Feast. I think it is wonderful that you are doing something that you love, which is a rare thing this day and age.
Glad to meet you through the Friday Feast. I don’t always participate, only when I feel like it.
Thanks! I disagree on men and toilets, but I have to admit, my wife is the one that can fix a broken toilet. Plumbing and I don’t get along.
