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?
A. Just my wedding band.
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.
A. My "key ring" is the key fob to my car these days. I used to have one that said Hollins College on it, though. I am not sure where that went but I hope I still have it, since the college changed its name to "Hollins University" in the 1990s.
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?
A. I went through a coloring phase, but I haven't done it in a long time.
4) In 1998, when this song was popular, Seinfeld ended its 9-season run. Were you a fan?
A. No.
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?
A. I'd just as soon eat at the table.
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?
A. I don't eat popcorn, as a rule. So, I don't recall. My husband had some the other night.
7) Florists see a spike in sales for Mother's Day, too. Would you rather receive a plant or a bouquet of flowers?
A. A plant. Preferably something I could plant outside.
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?
A. I don't think coupons are worth the effort either, but I do check the digital ones before I make a grocery run, so I suppose I'm somewhere in the middle.
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?
A. Classic milk chocolate, please. Thank you, Sam.

#7: You remind me of my mom. Her favorite way to celebrate Mother's Day would be a trip to an outdoor garden center so she could choose something to plant.
ReplyDeleteThat would be my choice, too!
DeleteYeah I download the digital coupons when I remember to do it
ReplyDeleteMy urge to color comes and goes. I have to be in the mood and the pictures can't be too complicated. I don't have the patience for that.
ReplyDeleteI have a coloring book app on my iPad that I sometimes use when I listen to audiobooks.
ReplyDelete#3 What I was at the senior center they had coloring books and colored pencils out and since the guest lecturer was late I started coloring.
ReplyDelete#5 Yup, when you spill something you have to sleep on it that night.
#8 Ditto!
