Saturday 9: Miss Me More (2018)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
Chosen because October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Learn more and spread the word that help is available.
Good cause. Never heard this song before. Women rock.
1) This song is about a girl who ditched her high heels so she wouldn't be taller than her beau. Tell us about the most recent addition to your footwear wardrobe. Do you need to go shoe shopping?
A. I do not. I'm good at the moment. My shoes are all sneakers these days, because I have to wear custom orthotics and those don't fit in sexy shoes. I'm a little old for sexy shoes anyway.
2) She sings that she misses the sheets on the bed she made herself. As you answer these questions, is your bed made?
A. Yes.
3) This video shows her in a ring. Have you ever worn boxing gloves?
A. Yes. Once I had a little boxing thing hanging in the garage. I used to go out and beat on it. I started having back problems so I ended up no longer beating on the punching bag.
4) This week's featured artist, Kelsea Ballerini, got married on Christmas Day in 2017. That makes their anniversary easy to remember. Are you celebrating any birthdays or anniversaries this month?
A. I am not celebrating anything this month, except I will note that my husband and I met in October, 1982.
5) Kelsea has been quoted as saying, "Perfect doesn't exist." She worries that we exhaust ourselves "trying to be something that isn't real." How about you? Do you believe your best is good enough? Or do you strive for perfection?
A. I am afraid so. Being a perfectionist is a curse. I do my best but it is never good enough.
6) One of Kelsea's tattoos is a square inside of a circle, aka a square peg in a round hole, on her left wrist. She says it's there to remind her that it's OK to "not fit the mold of what normal might be." Tell us about a time where you felt like a square peg in a round hole.
A. Um. Every day? I guess you want a specific incident. I don't have one.
7) In 2018, when this song was popular, French President Emmanuel Macron lowered fuel taxes. When it's time to fill your tank, do you shop around for the best price?
A. No. It's not like I have a lot of choices out here, anyway. I have three. Kroger, Sheetz, and Mama D's. I generally get Kroger gas because it has a higher octane level than Sheetz.
8) Also in 2018, Luxembourg made all public transportation free. When is the last time you rode a bus or train?
A. I have no idea. A very long time ago.
9) Random question: When did you most recently say, either out loud or to yourself, "I haven't got a thing to wear?"
A. Back in August when we were planning a vacation to Myrtle Beach.

My brother-in-law wanted boxing gloves for Christmas. So. My mother and I went to the sporting goods store.
ReplyDeleteMother: Good morning! We are interested in boxing gloves.
Clerk: What weight do you need?
Mother: (Referring to my brother-in-law's note.) Sixteen pounds?!?
After everyone got done laughing, he sold us sixteen ounce gloves.
Guess you had to be there.
I enjoy reading the answers to these questions by others.
ReplyDelete#9 made me smile. I have travelled often with my oldest friend over the years, and it's always amused her how much MORE I pack for the same the trip. But I have an awful time deciding. How will I know what I'll need to wear? And I certainly don't want to waste any of my vacation time at some mall which doesn't have as good a selection as I have at home. So ....
ReplyDelete"Too old for sexy shoes." If I tried to get into anything with even the shortest heel, I'd fall over!
ReplyDeleteI've never been able to wear sexy shoes. :( I'm built for comfort not for sexy styles.
ReplyDeleteThere are an awful lot of us who seem to be square pegs in round holes. Like you, I can't think of a specific incident it's more an "in general" thing.
ReplyDeleteI refuse to say I'm too old for sexy shoes. My feet might be too old, but the rest of me would be willing.
I do not go on many vacations, but when I do, I have the same problem. I am always wanting to have certain outfits, etc to wear and feel like I have nothing. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend.

Yes, packing for a trip can be challenging for sure. I hate packing for that reason. Enjoyable answers!
