Falling behind seems to be the true "meme". Thank you for the kind comments...I realize I overshare at times---but then I also realize, perhaps there are folks out there in the big bad world who can relate. Onward to the Saturday 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?
Actually, looking for a home in a another state. After our king here decided to pay illegal immigrants billions of dollars, hubby is onboard now with moving. What state is the issue right now.
2) Maren Morris sings that she knows she and her lover can face any storm. Are you afraid of thunder and lightening?
Nope. But, I will say, it depends on how loud it is.
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?
I say beach, hubby says woods. Hence the issue of moving to another state. I want close to the beach, he wants mountains and lake living.
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!)
Ok, here we go. I exploded at work yesterday. My shift ended at 1:30 and my manager (before she left for lunch) told the manager coming on duty I was to leave at 1:30 due to the fact I was over my allotted hours. The second person decided she wasn't going to listen to that. Come 1:45 I exploded. The manager came over and told me I could stay until she could find someone to take my place. Umm...excuse me? NO WAY. This is getting ridiculous-every.single.day. Your not going to penalize me (yes, we get penalize for not clocking out on time). I fully expect to get reprimanded today.
ANYWAYS, Patting myself on the back. After 6 months of dealing with this issue, I had had finally enough.
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)?
HA...45 minutes. Only because I have to get up at 4 am. My hours will be changing next month, so I will have to get up earlier. My employer has decided to go to 6 am-11pm for opening hours.
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?
Yep April 28th. Every 4 weeks. That is the only thing I allow myself privilege of doing.
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?
My employer has their own radio station and it drives me nuts, period.
8) Maren says her favorite foods are tacos and tortillas. When did you most recently eat Mexican food?
Been awhile.
9) Random question: What do you call that thing in your living room? Is it a sofa, couch, or a davenport?
Umm...couch. It would come out cow-ch --that would be my southern midwestern twang. LOL
