There is a button in the side bar for this lovely meme. This is fun and reading all the answers is even more fun, so a BIG Thanks to Sam and the Elves! Come on in and join in the fun?
Mine Would Be You
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: Mine Would Be You (recommended by Kathy W)
If you're not familiar with today's song, you can hear it here.
1) The lyrics mention his respect for "90 proof and Marlboro Red." What was your most recent drink? When was your last cigarette? My last drink was a little bit of Sherry two nights ago. It's sort of a once a month indulgence. My last cigarette was terribly memorable as it put me flat on my back, on the lawn of our nice little yard of long ago, looking up at the stars. It was then I decided that I would not EVER have another one.
2) They also reference "singing like crazy fools." What's the last song you sang?
I sang, "I'll never Fall in Love Again" because it's so fun to sing.
"What do you get when you fall in love?
You get a lot of pain and sorrow, so at least until tomorrow I'll never fall in love again." See? Cute.
3) Blake Shelton won a Grammy for his performance of this song. Crazy Sam won the award for "most improved bowler" when she was in third grade, and it's now in a closet somewhere. Do you have any trophies? If so, where are they? No trophies, but I do have a referee's patch, certificate, and a shiney whistle for passing the program to become an inter-mural basketball referee in high school.
4) Blake is currently on tour. The merchandise sold at concerts brings in big money for the artist. Do you have any tour memorabilia (like a poster or t-shirt)? Not a one... fool that I am.
5) In addition to The Voice, Shelton is on TV a lot with his Pizza Hut commercials. What chain restaurant is nearest your home? Do you eat there? No, I used to like pizza, too. Darn it.
6) Shelton has a million-seller CD called Cheers! It's Christmas! What's the first Christmas carol to pop into your head this hot summer Saturday? Oh Holy Night. It's my favorite one.
7) Shelton and Miranda Lambert were married in front of 550 guests. Do you enjoy weddings? Yes, and for that matter, I love to watch "Yes to the Dress", too. I thought I'd be making wedding dresses for the rest of my life!
8) The wedding took place on a big Texas ranch. Have you spent much time on a farm or a ranch? I was born on my grandparent's farm, and I grew up on my mother's little farm.
9) In 2013 he helped organize a relief benefit concert for victims of the Oklahoma tornados. Tell us about a charity you support. One? Ok. Oxfam. They are truly great as are the other 11 that we make yearly donations to and support with extra money in extra stressful times.

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend.

I put these up because they are pretty and simple to do as well. Just a little bit of Christmas, early. The one on the bottom also has a very cute cupcake ornament in the right corner.
I've actually started making my own pizza from scratch. It's a bit hit around here.
ReplyDeleteHi Harriet. :-) I'm with you on that. Home made pizza IS the BEST kind! When the kids were home (and we had a couple other teens we were fostering through some tough times) making our own pizza was one of the most fun things we had going. It's just so much better than pizzas you buy.
DeleteI love the Christmas ornaments!! And I love watching Yes to the Dress as well. Especially the Atlanta version. Thanks for such a light-hearted post today!
ReplyDeleteThe Atlanta version is so funny! That Monty! hehehe.. Glad you liked the ornaments. I had a hard time finding those links but finally got 'em. And, you are very welcome. That site is one that is so full of beautiful things to make. Isn't the Web wonderful? *eyes sparkle*
DeleteI love that, song, too. It's from a 60s-era musical called Promises Promises. It was revived recently with Sean Hayes from Will & Grace. He sings very well. Here's the YouTube link:

Hi Gal! Thanks for the linkie, and I'll check out that link pronto! Also, I remember it from the 60, and maybe Peggy Lee, Patty Page or Doris Day sang it? I'll try to find it on YouTube and squeak it in for Music Monday.
