My Favorite Things on Saturday 9...

My Favorite Things

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: My Favorite Things (2018)
 
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.


1) This week's artist, Jennie Abrahamson, is very happy living in Stockholm, but she refers to Paris as "a flirt." She enjoys her time there so much she always wants to return. Is there a place you've visited that tugs at your heart and imagination, tempting you to return?  Tuscany. Loved it.

2) Jennie has said her music has been heavily influenced by 80s pop, which was popular in her early teen years. Are your favorite songs the ones you listened to when you were growing up?  Definitely. Love 60s music.

3) "My Favorite Things" is from The Sound of Music. Crazy Sam's high school claim to fame was playing Sister Margaretta in the senior class production. Though not a big part, her performance lives on because relatives love embarrassing her with pictures of her in an especially unflattering nun's habit. Who took an embarrassing photo of you? What were you doing?  I am nearly always a behind-the-scenes kind of person and am usually taking the pictures. I haven't seen one that I am embarrassed about.  Maybe someone else has one of me...

4) The lyrics celebrate "brown paper packages tied up in strings." What was in the last box you received in the mail?  Baby gifts for two friends, from Amazon.

5) It mentions doorbells and sleigh bells. What's the most recent bell or alarm that you heard?  This morning at 6:00 a.m. because it is a work day for me this Saturday.
  
6) This song has nice things to say about cold weather, specifically snowflakes, and mittens. What do you like about winter?  I am not a winter person and find that even 50 degrees in Florida is "freezing" to me!

7) Dog bites and bee stings are singled out as things that can leave us feeling sad. What's most recently given you the blues?  Getting up at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday kind of gives me the blues but I'll have a 3-day weekend coming up!

8) In 2018, when this song was released, Roger Federer won the Australian Open. Are you good with a racket?  What kind of racket?  LOL  No, I don't play tennis or badminton anymore and I have never run numbers. (wink)

9) Random question -- Your local zoo announced the hatching of three snowy owlets. All males. You won the honor of naming them. Go ahead.  Winky; Hootie; Owlbert
