Feast One Hundred & Two
Appetizer
Name one thing nice that you could do for someone else today. Specifically or in general? Believe it or not, I try to do nice things for Tim every day. I try to be polite to everyone I meet, I try to let people turn out of side streets and businesses when I’m driving along the road, because I’m usually not in a hurry and they are. I’m going grocery shopping today, and I’ve often told people to go ahead of me in line if they have fewer items than me. I try to thank the cashier, the greeter, the bag person, whomever. Does ANY of that count?!
Soup
When was the last time you were frightened by the weather? Easy one. I’ve never really been afraid of the weather, but last year during Hurricane Katrina, I was very bothered by the weather. We weren’t in the direct path, but close enough to get hours and hours of wind and rain. After we lost power and it had raged on for several hours, the sound of the wind really got to me. I’ve never been affected by weather before, but the howling of the wind really affected me after a while.

What would you say is the most useful website or blog that you visit? Hmm…. I like search engines like Google and Blingo, for finding out almost anything imaginable. Also love IMDB for anything related to movies, actors, tv shows, etc.
Main Course
Who was your favorite singer/group when you were a child? Oh wow, I remember jumping up on my bed, holding my hand out in front of me like a microphone and singing Monkees songs. “Oh what can it mean, to a …Daydream believer and a homecoming queen” There, is that old enough for ya?!!! 
Dessert
Do you have any rituals? If so, what are they? My, my, what a question for a girl like me! My sister made up a word years ago – she calls me “routinized”. As in the most routine-oriented person she knows. Now, assuming routine equates to rituals, then yes, I have a lot of rituals! Some are holiday or seasonal related, like I like to make the same things at Christmas (my hot cocoa mix, reindeer food, things like that). I also have tons of daily rituals, including that I do certain kinds of laundry on certain days of the week. For example, I always wash towels on Tuesdays and sheets on Wednesdays. Don’t ask why. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, except maybe that I liked the alliteration of “towels on Tuesday” 😀 Lately, I make sourdough bread every week, and I do the starter on Wednesdays and then bake the bread on Thursdays. I clean certain parts of the house on certain days, and run certain errands on other days. I’m exceedingly routine-oriented!
Love, LOVE your main course!!!!! That is so delicious!!!! Now you got me singing. (Maybe not on my bed, but I can hum while I consume more of your feast)
My feast is served…come and get it, first come first served.

Name one thing nice that you could do for someone else today.

When was the last time you were frightened by the weather?
I have been frightened by strong winds that rattle our walls ever since I lived through the hurricane that blew the roof of the building next door into my bedroom.

Google.
Main Course
Who was your favorite singer/group when you were a child?
I loved Elvis, Bon Jovi, Wham, Brian Adams, and Corey Hart as a kid, I still LOVE Bon Jovi
Dessert
Do you have any rituals? If so, what are they?
No real rituals, I always leave my room in the morning with my clothes in my arms and trot naked down the hall and get dressed in the bathroom, but that is mostly so I don’t disturb Prince Charming.
I was around ten when my parents got me the Monkees Greatest hits. My dad picked me up from school and unbeknowst to me he had it and when it started playing I think I screamed with glee.
Good times.
Happy Friday!
Oh wow! How could I forget the Monkees. Davy, Peter, Mike, and Micky. I know everyone loved Davy but I was always more fond of Peter. Still attracted to the shy, quiet type. 😉
My friends and I would walk to the halls at school doing the monkey’s walk they did:)
Have a great weekend!!!
Jumps right on that main course! Cheeeeeer up sleepy Jean… oh what can it mean…. LOL! Unlike Bev, I always cared more for MIKE. I think Davy was too sugar coated for me … even back then! LOL!
GREAT feast! I’m fully satisfied!
Thanks for stopping by mine!
What’s not to love about the Monkees? I saw their reunion show twice! I used to come home from kindergarten and watch The Monkees and then The Beatles cartoons!
I might steal this later.
Dang girl, you are totally in a routine, huh? LOL
Ah yes, the hurricanes. Have a great weekend.
Love the feast!
I am “routine-oriented” too! It is a good thing.
I don’t participate in this particular meme, but wanted to add my two cents on the Appetizer. We often share restaurant coupons with others. Just yesterday we ate at IHOP, and had leftover coupons, Alan walked over to a table of 8 and handed them a coupon for 20% off of the meal ticket. They were thrilled! It warms my heart to be kind to others.
Also, Dessert… I used to have rituals, now I have an infant. hahaha I like “routinized”!
