(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You
Saturday 9: (God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You (1998)
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?
The purple stone is an amethyst, my birthstone. Yellow is topaz and red is ruby, the birthstones of my daughters.
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.
House keys, car key, mini flashlight…nothing spectacular.
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?
I have a coloring app on my iPad.
4) In 1998, when this song was popular, Seinfeld ended its 9-season run. Were you a fan?
I watched occasionally but really wasn’t into it.
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?
I’d rather go out to a restaurant for breakfast/brunch.
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?
When we watched the Oscars.
7) Florists see a spike in sales for Mother's Day, too. Would you rather receive a plant or a bouquet of flowers?
I kill plants, so give me flowers,
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?
I clip when I think of it but often forget to use them.
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?
All three. But if I have to choose I’ll take the classic milk chocolate.
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 think having breakfast out is a wise choice because you don't have to worry about the mess.
ReplyDeleteDid you know there is a blue topaz? My mother, whose birthday is in November, prefers blue topaz to the yellow. I believe there's a pink one as well, although way rarer.
ReplyDeleteOh my, no, I didn’t know. Jen would absolutely love a pink topaz.
DeleteI don't see that anyone much liked Seinfeld. How did that show stay on TV for so long?
ReplyDeleteOne of my best friends loves the show, and frequently quotes the characters.
DeleteFunny you should say that, CountryDew! I saw part of one when it was new. Only part. Wasn't my thing.
DeleteI have a coloring app on my phone. Sometimes I like it. Sometimes I get angry at the little tiny spaces that I don't think were there until after I watch the commercial for the hint.
ReplyDeleteI loved Seinfeld. And I color in my iPad, too. It's relaxing.
ReplyDeleteIt been while since I used any coupons.
ReplyDelete#2 The mini flashlight I had my key chain kept turning on illuminating the inside of my cloth pocket book at night so I don’t carry it anymore.
ReplyDelete#5 When my parents were still alive we used to go out for brunch. I remember when I was little it was torturer to wait to eat until 11 AM.
#7 There are wanted poster on me that the plants put up. I’m a killer of plants.
