Friday’s Feast #121

Appetizer: Which language would you like to learn and why?

I actually do know another language-I have a Master’s Degree in Spanish. When it came time to pick a major in college I had NO idea what I wanted to do, so I chose Spanish because I enjoyed it and because I was good at it. And everyone around me said, “Oh, Spanish, that’s great-and what are you gonna do with that again?”

By the time graduation rolled around I was really enjoying being a Spanish major (and I still had no idea what I wanted to do with my life-who knows the answer to that question at 21?!) and I wanted to learn more, so I went to graduate school. That was the first time in my life I ever did something just because I enjoyed it, with no other plans or agendas behind it.

Soup: What’s the funniest thing you’ve heard or read so far this week?

Probably this conversation I had with my trainer.

“When we do lower body I’m gonna be nice to you. I’m gonna give you a break in between exercises.”

“Great!”

“Yeah. After every exercise you’re gonna do some abs. That’ll be your break.”

“Uh,…thank you?”

Salad: Which movie was so bad you couldn’t watch the whole thing?

My husband (then boyfriend) and I went to go see Mannequin 2 in the theater. There were only 2 other people in there with us-that really should have been a clue!

Main Course: If there were a holiday in your honor that didn’t use your actual name, what would the day be called?“All Hail The Supreme Empress Of The Universe” Day

Dessert :Name one movie which is coming out soon that you would like to see.

This isn’t coming out soon, but I can’t wait to see the final “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie. Love me some Johnny Depp!

  3. Great feast! I’m laughing at your soup and main course. I’ve often done what your trainer does – it’s a much more efficient use of time if you do something between sets, and ab work is a great filler!

    I like your dessert – I’m looking forward to the third Pirates movie too. 🙂

  5. Lol ! and do you practizise you Spanish ? Languages can always be useful you never know if conce you will travel across South America !

  10. *bowing down to her highness, Supreme Emporess of the Universe!*

    Do we really NOT celebrate you yet??? You know… I’m almost 50 and I don’t think I’ve ever gotten to “do something just because I enjoy it, with no other plans or agendas”!!! I’m impressed you got to do that at 21! But… I guess Supreme Emporesses DO have supreme priviledges that we peasants do not get! LOL! But I can think of LOTS of things you could do with a nice high degree in Spanish! Spanish is a very very HANDY thing to know these days!

  11. Great feast! I love your main course! I haven’t seen the Pirates movie (either 1 or 2), but I’ve heard such good things, I’m going to have to rent it. Thanks for visiting and have a great weekend:)

  13. Wow, a Master’s in Spanish, I’m terribly impressed! Loved your idea of a holiday, we should definitely have one of those, or maybe twice a year 🙂

    Great feast, thanks for stopping by mine earlier! Have a wonderful Friday and an even better weekend 🙂

  14. Not a “Feaster” personally but I enjoyed your answers… 2 other people.. yup that is when you are hopefully in a multi-plex and go into another theatre!

  15. I enjoyed your feast. I need to work on my Spanish. I took two years in high school and two years in college. I can understand some and speak some but I really need to improve!
    Thanks for visiting my feast.

  16. Hi! Great feast.. Did not like that movie too, LOL!
    Our country was colonized by Spain so Spanish permeates much of our language. Thought i’d share that. 😉
    Thanks for dropping by! Happy weekend!

  17. Welcome to the feast. I really enjoyed your dessert 😉 Johnny Depp is awesome… and I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve seen him in!

  19. omgosh… your conversation with your trainer is hilarious. My favorite is when I take the 15 min ab class and we do crunches… as your break. How is that a break? 😛

    Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

  21. I certainly like the sound of “All Hail The Supreme Empress Of The Universe” Day. I’m sure that would be fabulous.

  22. thanks for stopping by my Feast. =)

    i bet all those people aren’t asking you what you will do with Spanish *now*. =P

    and that is a great answer for your Main Course!!! =)
