Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!
Saturday 9: (God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You (1998)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song, a boy celebrates the life of love he's received from his mother, saying it's more precious than any diamond or pearl. Do you have a piece of jewelry that means a great deal to you?
Not any more. I have an elephant figure from the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya that I wear as a necklace, but I don't wear any other jewelry.
2) NSYNC licensed their name and likenesses for use on a variety of products, and their official key ring was a big seller. Tell us about your key ring.
I don't have one!
3) NSYNC's lead singer, Justin Timberlake, is now a parent himself with two sons. He enjoys sitting on the floor so they can play Legos together. Today Lego sets for adults and adult coloring books are popular. As a grown up, do you enjoy coloring books or Legos?
Me, neither, but my daughter is a BIG Lego builder. She just finished making a Lego typewriter and last year she and a friend made a huge merry-go-round.
4) In 1998, when this song was popular, Seinfeld ended its 9-season run. Were you a fan?
Not an ardent fan, but I did watch the show.
5) This week's song was chosen in honor of Mother's Day. Some mothers will find themselves treated to breakfast in bed this weekend. Is that a luxury you would appreciate, or would you worry about spilling food on the sheets?
When my kids were little they usually served me breakfast in bed on Mothers Day. I was glad when they got old enough not to do that any more. Nothing more awkward than trying to eat breakfast in bed without a tray to put your dish on. But I loved that they did it.
6) Garrett's Popcorn offers a special tin for Mother's Day (the "O" in MOM is a daisy). When did you most recently have popcorn?
Ask me that in a week. I just ordered some special popcorn and I'm eager to see how it tastes.
7) Florists see a spike in sales for Mother's Day, too. Would you rather receive a plant or a bouquet of flowers?
I have a black thumb, so a bouquet of flowers is definitely better than a plant.
8) Crazy Sam's own mother is big on couponing, while Sam thinks coupons simply aren't worth the effort. Are you more like mother or daughter?
I'm with Sam.
9) Sam is celebrating Mother's Day with her mother's favorite, Hershey Bars. Would you prefer classic milk chocolate, dark chocolate or chocolate with almonds?
classic milk chocolate with almonds, please! (But I'd rather have See's California brittle!)

ReplyDelete#5 Yup, when you spill something you have to sleep on it that night.
