Friday's Feast the Ninth



Are you as terrified as I am???

Appetizer
Describe a toy you remember from your childhood.
When I was about five, my grandmother bought my Aunt Jill (her youngest child of nine, who was six months younger than I), my sister Trish, and I each a Baby Chrissy Doll for Christmas. Baby Chrissy was a big chubby baby doll whose "hair can be long, or short as can be") because she had a hole in the head where you could pull the long hair out and a string in the back to pull the hair back in. I hated Baby Chrissy from the first time I saw her. I loved tiny baby dolls I could hold like a newborn and Chrissy's head was as big as mine. Somehow I didn't feel like a real mother when my kid weighed as much as I did. But I had to act grateful, which I tried to do without much success. There is a photo lurking around somewhere (wish I could find it!) of me with this huge doll and a sulky look on my face.
Needless to say, my mother wanted to skin my hide by the time we got home!

Soup
On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being highest) how observant are you?

It depends. When it comes to objects, I am not naturally observant. But I am very observant of people and am really sensitive to the moods of others.

Salad
Where would you rather be at this very moment?

In heaven.
No, just kidding, I would love to be sitting in my someday dreamhouse, looking over my someday large estate from my someday nicely built deck while I sip a morning cup of coffee and blog on my laptop.

Main Course
When was the last time you learned something new?

At the postal training, believe it or not. I learned that donuts were actually created for a member of the Pony Express by his wife so that he could easily carry bread with him and eat it without stopping.

Dessert
Fill in the blank: I have RIDDEN A ROLLER COASTER ONCE but I haven’t GOTTEN ON ONE SINCE.
Few things terrify me as much as that plunge down the hill. Except maybe Baby Chrissy...

Have a happy weekend everyone!!

I don't like roller coasters either. Happy Friday.

I never knew that about donuts either. So I learned something new here. :)

That doll does freak me out.

I love wooden roller coasters...the kind that sway back and forth while you're riding them. But, I must admit that I fear death while riding, but that's the fun in it! *LOL*

Well, I would have thought that donuts were invented for cops. See I learned something new today. I loved your rollercoaster comment too. I'm with you on this. Just can't do it. Have a great FF and weekend. :)

I remember that doll! Freaky about the hole in her head.

Roller coasters? No way. Never.

I had that doll and actually liked her, but she freaked my dog out something terrible.
