Pull up a chair and dig in!
Friday's Feast is a meme of five questions
cooked up by the chef each and every week.
Enjoy!

Appetizer
What was your first “real” job?

Um, I assume that first 'real' job means full time as opposed to student jobs or part time (are they considered phony jobs??? I certainly didn't think so at the time), so my first real job was with a major retailer, working in the catalogue office for the headquarters division. It was a great job and opened so many doors for me, places that I never thought I'd go.

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

My closet has a bounty of crafts. I can go through my oodles of yarn, or my stitching, and make things. My scrapbooking is all in the basement....another spot where creativity blossoms.

Salad
Complete this sentence: I am embarrassed when…

I speak in public. I turn red like a tomato!

Main Course
What values did your parents instill in you?

Be yourself. Tell the truth. Be polite. Be respectful. Don't speak unnecessarily.

Dessert
Name 3 fads from your teenage years. (I am going to name more than 3...just because)

Hula hoops

Roller skates (the kind that strapped onto your shoe)

Elephant pants

Hot pants

Go-go-boots

Mini skirts

and with that I have now totally dated myself...

Jeni said...: Ah -yes, how true, how true on the difficulties we encounter in life.

And, if you think you dated yourself with your fad remembrances, think how much that dates those of us who can recall other fads that came before those you mentioned -one that comes to mind for me -chemise -the dress I absolutely had to have and my Mom tried her absolute best to talk me out of it but I won. I wore it frequently for several years, just to prove her wrong!; 11/17/2007 01:48:00 p.m.

Horoscope of Note

August 2010
One of the most powerful methods of learning from both dreaming and waking experiences is reflection, or re-entry, Scorpio. This is not about beating yourself up over something that happened, or having a serious case of the "would'a, could'a, should'a" syndrome. It's about taking an objective look at the situation by putting yourself back in it, and trying to gain insight into why you chose to do what you did, or how things may have turned out had you acted differently. This will more often than not give you a clear answer as to how to deal with a similar situation in the future.

Scorpio Love Horoscope
Dear Scorpio, the moment you have been waiting for has arrived. There will be an invitation coming your way today that will be the most unexpected but pleasant surprise. This may involve a short trip for you and will deepen your involvement with someone that you have been thinking about a lot. The groundwork that you have been laying with this person is in good shape to pave the way for something long lasting. While you are waiting for this opportunity, don't bite off more than you can chew in other areas or you will find you simply won't have time for that which you truly desire.
