Friday Feast

First some knitting:

I'm working on a sweater that should be done by early next week--joy! Khaki pants and springtime here I come!

On to the Feast--

I've been reading this blog for a while now...guess I should participate:

Appetizer
Where on your body do you have a scar, and what caused it?

On my right forearm there's a dark mark. The mark is actually a piece of pencil lead from a 3rd grade injury; someone ran into me with a pencil, the lead broke off, and here we are today. My 30-something mind doesn't want to ponder beyond that.

My right hand, between my index and middle finger, sports a lovely shiny scar from my accidental pickup of a broken soda bottle (back in the day where you turned in your empties). More that I don't want to contemplate. I still love a Coke in a glass bottle, though.

Soup
What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle?

When I was young (what is it with my youth?), my father had an auto accident in his van. I was in the backseat of the van, and the middle seat had been removed to make room for various bits of equipment. This was long before carseats (which I would have been too old for, anyway) and I don't recall functioning seatbelts. A truck ran him off the road and straight into a lightpost. The van's front (a VW bus) wrapped around the post.

My father was unharmed. And I swear to this day that the blanket we were sitting on somehow ended up covering the equipment and cushioning our fall.

Salad
Name a television personality who really gets on your nerves.

Tyra. Fucking. Banks. I hate her.

Main Course
What was a funny word you said as a child (such as "pasketti" for "spaghetti")?

Not a clue about this one. I think I was likely more funny when I tried to use words that I didn't know the meaning of. Maybe.

Dessert
Fill in the blank: I have always thought the bayou was beautiful.

That was fun!
