Friday Feast #195

Appetizer

What is the weather like today where you live? Very muggy. It started out overcast and foggy but has cleared off. Now we are waiting for the afternoon thunderstorms. They say maybe hail. Temperature is about 93 with about the same humidity level.

Soup

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how career-minded are you? Maybe 5. That is because sometimes I am a 10 and really really want to be working full time again and other times I am 0 wanting to stay home and lead my Brownies and play with my daughter.

Salad

What type of window coverings do you have in your home? Blinds, curtains, shutters, etc.? Mostly mini-blinds. The living room has decorative drapes and sheers. The playroom has the film type sunscreen on it ( that is WONDERFUL. It really cuts the heat) and valances. Bedrooms have sheers over the mini-blinds.

Main Course

Name something that instantly cheers you up. Cuddling with my daughter. She gives the BEST snuggles. At 8, I know my days of spontaneous snuggles are nearing an end so I take all I can get. The other thing that can ALWAYS cheer me is a phone call from my sweetie. We live 800 miles apart and it drives us both crazy. I hate the Texas court system. They will not let her move out of the state with her daughter or we would be together already. When I see her number on caller ID I automatically smile.

Dessert

How many times do you hit the snooze button on a typical morning? None. Most of the time I am awake even before it goes off. Actually my alarm is the TV. It automatically turns on to the morning news channel and it has no snooze button. lol

That must be so difficult, living so far apart. I give you kudos for being able to do it.

Oh, and the cuddles don't have to end soon. I know it's unusual, but my soon-to-be 12-year-old niece still loves to cuddle in front of the TV. I love it.

That really sucks about the distance thing. I wouldn't be able to manage it.

It's awful that your partner isn't allowed to move with her daughter, that just doesn't seem right. I'm sorry you have to live so far apart.

I understand about the cuddles, my eldest is soon to be 7 and those spontaneous cuddles are already becoming more rare. She hasn't let me give her kisses for over a year now, and hugs usually don't happen in the presence of others. I still get a nice squeeze before bed sometimes, but that's about it. Enjoy it while it lasts!
