Friday Feast #156
Wanna Play?Appetizer
Describe your laundry routine. Do you have a certain day when you do it all, or do you just wash whatever you need for the next day?
Oh, my laundry routine is EXCITING! First, I gather it all up into one great big pile, and then I sort it out into smaller piles - you know - whites, colors, jeans, delicates, towels, etc... then I open the lid of the washer, choose the correct cycle for the pile I'm washing, start the water running, pour in a capful of detergent ... sometimes TWO if I'm feeling BOLD (or dirty)... then I let the washer fill about 1/2 way, and then I drop the pieces of laundry in, one at a time, so they get thoroughly saturated and aren't all clumped together. Then I shut the lid and let the MAGIC begin! And it's SO much fun that I do it EVERY day!!!
Soup
In your opinion, what age will you be when you’ll consider yourself to truly be old?
ROFL! Ohhhhhhhh that was 3 years ago! But now I'm Young-Again! And I plan to stay this way!
Salad
What is one of your goals? Is it short-term, long-term, or both?
Well... I DO still have the goal to remove 70 more pounds from this body... and ... um... at the rate I'm going right now, I'd say that it is a loooooooong term goal! You did only ask for ONE goal though...
Main Course
Name something unbelievable you’ve seen or read lately.
The only thing I can think of is some of the beauty that God has placed in this world for us! Some of the morning skies he gives me on my way to work... or things like the Grand Canyon... the ocean... things like that, to me, are just unbelievable! I wonder HOW can such beauty really exist?! But then... I guess all things are believable.
Dessert
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how happy are you today?
Hmmmm... well... I just woke up and my day has barely started... the coffee is GOOD, so I'll give it a 10 so far! Nothing has messed it up yet! (should I come back later and revise???)

First here's what I added to your comment on my blog---
* * * Melli, dear? I didn't say I didn't dream...I said I don't dream BIG! In other words, I don't dream of becoming a movie star --that's not in the big picture of things for me, but to dream of becoming a mother, that is possible!! See? Ya never know what is gonna be served on your platter for the day in your life...dreaming the impossible just heads me for disappointments...and I strive to be content with the small things.

Have a great Friday. And don't come back to revise, just keep on keeping that happiness!!!

You should get an award for having written the best user manual for a washing machine ! Even the most stupid man could probably sort out his laundry now. The only thing you have forgotten is to mention that you have to push on a button otherwise the machine wouldn't work !

Great Feast!! I think most women have the same goal of losing or maintaining weight. Maybe we should just let our gut hang over our belt like the men. Have a good weekend.

Laundry is not an appetizer. It is one of my least favorite chores.

I love your list, Melli. And I'm hopin' it stayed a TEN all day long. Yep, we're in the "do laundry everyday club"...I'm hoping that will shift a bit though as one or two of the boys move out.
Hugs.
