Friday's Feast

Appetizer: Say there’s a book written about your life. Who would you want to narrate the audio version?

Mary Steenburgen.

Soup: Take the letters from your favorite kind of nut and write a sentence. (Example: Perhaps every avenue needs understanding today.)

All lovers may occasionally need/desire solitude.

Salad: If you could go back in time and spend one week in another decade, which decade would you choose?

A week. I'd say the the decade a hundred years ago. I'd like to see if I can make it without air conditioning. But I could still knit.

Main Course: Name a song that brings back memories for you.

"Nothing Compares 2 You" by Prince, sung by Sinead O'Connor. Reminds me of when I was happy with the kids' dad (they lyrics are not what reminds me, it's the music--lyrics remind me of The Bad Times).

Dessert: Do you prefer to wash your hands in cold water or warm water?

Cold. I don't really enjoy this task, since it dries out my hands, but I do it because you're supposed to.

Lyrics:

NOTHING COMPARES 2 U
(Prince)

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

It's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every boy I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said girl u better try to have fun
No matter what u do
But he's a fool
`Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

All the flowers that u planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when u went away
I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
