Saturday 9

 

The Bones

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. 

The Bones (2019)

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

1) They lyrics compare a relationship to a house, saying that despite superficial problems like peeling paint or broken glass, the foundation can still be solid and strong. What home improvement project is next on your list?

I bought a bookcase and I need to put it together.

2) Maren Morris sings that she knows she and her lover can face any storm. Are you afraid of thunder and lightening?

Actually I love stormy weather.  Can I go sit on the porch during the thunderstorm, I want to see the lightning.

3) The video for this song shows Maren and her husband, singer/songwriter Ryan Hurd, on the beach in Maui. Would you rather go for a long walk along a beach or a hike in the woods?

If you saw what I posted yesterday, you could answer for me...

Vitamin Sea...

 

4) "The Bones" won Morris and her collaborators (Jimmy Robbins and Laura Veltz) the 2020 CMA "Song of the Year" Award. Here's your chance to pat yourself on the back. What's something you have done well lately? (Go ahead. We want to hear about it!)

I'm not very "domestic", if you know what I mean, but I  tried a new recipe for oven friend chicken cutlets, I improvised, and the result was fantastic.

5) The song was also nominated for a Grammy for Best Country Song. For the awards show last month, Maren put a lot of work into her look, including lightening her hair and lipstick and reshaping her brows. She was surprised when saw on social media that people confused her with reality star Khloe Kardashian. How long does it take you to prepare to face the world (on an average day, not for an internationally telecast awards show)?

I don't wear makeup most days.  When I do get made up, I keep it simple, so it take just a few minutes to get ready.

 

6) Experimenting with hair and makeup comes naturally to Maren. Her parents have owned the same hair salon for decades. She and her sister played there as children and took turns working the reception desk when they were in high school. Do you have a hair appointment scheduled?

NO, and I desperately need one.

 

7) Mom and Dad do not go out of their way to play Maren's songs in their salon. They don't want to "bombard" clients with her music, just because she's their daughter. But, if one of Maren's songs happens to come on, they are naturally very proud. Where were you the last time you had to listen to someone else's choice of music? (Bank, doctor's office, friend's car, etc.) Did you enjoy it, or did you wish you could change the station?

supermarket -- and you can't get them to change the music.

 

8) Maren says her favorite foods are tacos and tortillas. When did you most recently eat Mexican food?

Not counting the canned chili I dumped over a baked potato...I love Mexican food and I know several good Mexican restaurants around here.  Last time I had Mexican must have been in February. 

9) Random question: What do you call that thing in your living room? Is it a sofa, couch, or a davenport?

It's a couch.  Or a loveseat -- the one in my apartment is small. Took this photos as I was moving in...
