That hollyhock picture right there came out so nice that I sized it for a desktop wallpaper. Click on it to grab the big version. (It looks extra-nice if you make your desktop's background color black to match.)
Anyway, I'm doing Patrice's Wednesday Words of Weight Loss today because I liked the questions.
1. I've heard it said that you should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper. What are your meals like?
I've sat and tried to figure this one out. I've heard that saying before and I've never been able to decipher its meaning. Does that mean that for breakfast you have whole roasted pigs and roasted fowl and drink flagons of mead and throw the bones over your shoulder to the dogs? And what do princes eat, anyway? Don't they dine with the kings with the roast pigs and so forth?
And if you eat like a pauper, does that mean a crust of black bread and a cup of water at a plain wooden table lit by a single tallow candle?
Anyway, I can answer the second question. Hot meal for breakfast (either eggs or hot cereal), sandwiches or hotdogs at lunch (accompanied by fruit or chips or some other side), and dinner is usually the biggest meal and contains the most meat. So, prince > pauper > king, if I have some grasp of the metaphor.
2. Does eating out include all of the trimmings (appetizer, meal, dessert, beverages)?
Only on dates, when it's just the two of us. It's too expensive to get all that with the kids along. Also we're usually too full to order dessert. I can only get it when I'm ravenous from being pregnant or breastfeeding.
3. What's your favorite season of your wardrobe?
The one I'm not currently on. When it's summer, I long for sweaters and jeans. When it's winter, I wish for shorts and light tops.
4. If you could take a class or course in anything, what would it be?
Life drawing, like a shot. I've seen how it improved the art of all my friends, and I kick myself for not taking it while I had the chance.
5. Optimist or Pessimist?
The best thing about being a pessimist is that you're always being proven right or you're being pleasantly surprised.
I try to be optimistic, but being realistic means you have to fall somewhere in between.

You are so funny, I like how you answered because it proves to me that this time breastfeeding you still have a brain. I like that as always you are just practical.
Anyway, you crack me up. I needed a laugh today, thanks for doing the Wednesday questions, I like seeing how you think.
I like the hollyhock and your analysis of the metaphor. I'm not sure they mean that you should throw bones over your shoulder, but history shows that was in fact done!Thanks for joining in. I hope the new little one is settling in well and you are getting some sleep.
