Saturday 9: Single Ladies

Saturday 9: Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It) (2008)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) Are the majority of your friends married or single?

A. Married. Most of the single people I know are widowed. It's what happens when you get older.

2) Rings are one of the items most frequently pawned. Have you ever visited a pawn shop, either to sell or to buy?

A. I've gone in them to look, but not to sell or buy. I watch Pawn Stars sometimes on TV. Does that count for anything?

3) Let's say we want to put a ring on it: What's your ring size?

A. I have no idea. I haven't bought a ring in years.

4) Beyonce does commercials for Pepsi. What's the last beverage you drank?

A. A&W root beer.

5) Beyonce also has a clothing line. What are you wearing right now?

A. Um. A Disney nightie and my robe.

6) Speaking of clothes, Sam was changing hers this morning when she unintentionally flashed her neighbor. She didn't realize he was working along the fence that runs under her bedroom window. Tell us one of your most embarrassing moments.

A. In September 2013, the cows were loose. We had taken a Sunday drive and were an hour away when the neighbors called. By the time we arrived, it was a circus, with a crowd of people standing around and police vehicles on the scene. Only one person, however, was trying to put the cows back in the lot. So my husband and I went down to work on that. I was dressed in good clothes and good shoes. One of the cows turned toward me, and I headed in her direction shrieking "ya ya" with my arms flailing to try to get her to go back toward the gate, and I slipped and fell down. The cow almost ran me over. It was kind of dangerous but I was very embarrassed because I fell. I am always embarrassed when I fall down.

7)  Rumor has it Beyonce is pregnant again. Coincidentally, Sam needs to check the Babys R Us registry for a shower present. Who will receive the next gift you give?

A. I suppose my husband, on our anniversary in November. Or maybe a friend whose birthday is a bit sooner.

8) But Sam doesn't actually want to go to the shower and is trying to come up a good excuse. Tell us a time you fibbed to get out of doing something.

A. Nothing comes to mind at the moment.

9) When did you last go inside the bank and talk to a teller?

A. Just this week. I made a deposit and I asked about the change-over that is happening soon, since our bank has been sold.
