Friday Feast One Hundred and Eighty

Appetizer

Have you ever played a practical joke on anyone? If so, what did you do and who was your victim?

Yes, back when I worked in the jewelry store with my mother, we played a trick on my boss, Alice. Alice was probably the nicest lady on earth, mother of six, grandmother-not a mean bone in her body. I had gotten a speeding ticket awhile back (at least I think that's what I did) and I told Alice about it and asked advice on how to tell my mom. My mom and I talked and I don't even recall if she was mad (probably) but it didn't seem to be too bad. I decided to color one eye with dark blue-black eyeshadow and pretend like my mom had punched me. I went into work the next day with my sunglasses on. Alice immediately asked how things went with my mom and I removed the glasses dramatically. She was horrified, to say the least-so much so that I had to tell her it was meant to be a joke. I washed my face and came back out and it took her all day to get over that. The other ladies thought it was funny and my mom still tells it once and awhile.

Soup

What do your salt and pepper shakers look like?

I have one salt shaker that matches my Pfaltzgraff dishes (the pepper broke) and I have a Woodstock pepper shaker. I also have the Snoopy salt shaker somewhere and a cute little bear set that my sister-in-law gave me awhile back.

Salad

Where is the next place you plan to visit (on vacation or business)?

Hawaii?!??!

Seriously. Probably Michael and Terri's in CA if we can figure out some free time. (ha, ha, ha) Also, we were interested in going to Wyoming, but it looks like not this year. I'd like to take the boys back to San Diego to the zoo and Sea World at some point soon.

Main Course

What kind of lotion or cream do you use to keep your hands from getting too dry?

I really don't use much hand cream, although I should. I use Cetaphil or whatever fragrance-free brand is out.

Dessert

Make up a dessert, tell us its ingredients, and give it a name.

I will just pick one of Cindy's awesome creations, have her make it, have Trevor over and he will declare it mine.

This is not my strong point, friends. Sorry!

I love the practical joke. Very funny. I used to have a bunch of cute salt and pepper shakers but those were among the things that had to be pared away in all my moves these past years... now I just use cardboard ones from the grocery store. Hawaii sounds good to me. You'd probably like Aruba too.

Forgot to say that Bath & Body Works has a GREAT hand lotion - Look Ma, New Hands! It has a hint of orange scent and it works really well.
