So, I have been trying for an hour to get this post up and running...but you know, hubby just wants to argue over politics...sigh...It is a cool, crisp morning here in Central Florida at 47*. Weird weather, it has been in the mid 80's all week, the humidity creeping up. Anyways, here we go.
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 to answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions!
Saturday 9: Saturday Night's Alright (1973)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song, Elton John tells us it's 7:00 PM on Saturday evening and he's ready to rock with his friends. What will you be doing at 7:00 this evening? At 7? Probably will be sitting in front of the tv with my laptop.
2) His sister is ready to party, too. The lyrics tell us she looks cute with "a handful of grease in her hair." What haircare products would we find in your bathroom right now? Ok, since moving back to Florida, I have had to change my whole routine. I now buy Paul Mitchell products. AND since I have a nice paying job, I can afford to. I also been keeping my hair a little shorter (just a little above the shoulder) and more layered. With this humidity and having fine baby hair, it helps. I have a found a very nice young girl who works in the Villages who knows hair. :)
3) He sings that by Saturday, he's had it with the aggravation and discipline of the past week and now he's ready to cut loose. How did last week treat you? Ugh...trying to be formally integrated with my new job position. I told hubby Thursday I am not sure I am cut for it. I am being taught (well, teaching myself really because my boss is too busy) how to do transfers from one prison to another. I know, it's only been a week, but I hope things catch on sooner than later. I am also doing my old job as the other two young people are on administrative duty; filing and intakes only--the bosses have found mistakes with their work. Shaking my head...I shall refrain from discussing this. I have refused to train them-and it has been noted on why. They are untrainable as they already "know it all". That is there is attitude-not mine. And for the record, I am tired, overworked and overwhelmed.
4) This Saturday night finds Elton and his friends "packed pretty tight" in their bar of choice. Agoraphobics have a hard time feeling safe in busy, crowded places. How about you? Are you comfortable in a crowd? It depends.
5) The lyrics were written by Bernie Taupin, Elton's frequent collaborator. Bernie ranks this near the top of his favorite Elton John records. What's your favorite? Rocket Man and Pinball Wizard. I saw him in concert once when I was a teenager--excellent.
6) Elton has turned his bad eyesight into a hobby, claiming that over the years he has purchased well over 200,000 pairs of glasses. Do you wear glasses? If so, how many prescription pairs do you own? I do wear glasses as I have an astigmatism and wear bifocals. Actually, I am taking this coming Wednesday off to get a major overhaul; dr. appointment with a new doctor and hopefully I can make rounds to see the eye dr. I only own one pair and I need to get that kind that turn into sunglasses. The glare here in Florida is just awful.
7) Elton once had to cancel an international tour because of an emergency appendectomy. Do you still have your appendix? Yep, why you need one? lol.
8) In 1973, when this song was popular, M*A*S*H was at the top of the ratings. Who is your favorite M*A*S*H character? I don't have one.
9) Random question: Who is the wisest person you know? Wisest person? It's a not a person, but the Bible. Wise words that have long been forgotten. Just saying.
On a final note, I have come to the startling realization I have left behind friends...and somewhat my need for family time. So, I think I will take some vacation time for my birthday in March and go/do something. What, I don't know. All work and driving to and forth is making me one sad person.
