Saturday 9: Mirrors

 




Saturday 9: Mirrors (2013)

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


1) Is there a mirror in the room you're in now?  I am in my living room...we do not have a mirror in here.
 
2) In this song, Justin Timberlake tells his lover he just can't wait till they're together. What are you eagerly looking forward to today?  I am writing this on Thursday night, but eagerly looking forward to some sleep Saturday morning.
 
3) Justin Timberlake is known as a sharp dresser who is always on trend. What item have you recently added to your wardrobe?  I just bought a new teacher shirt.

 
4) Justin was an accomplished child performer who appeared on the entertainment competition show Star Search when he was just 11. When Crazy Sam was 11, her only job was loading and unloading the dishwasher, for which she received an allowance from her dad. Did you have chores when you were a kid?  I did.  I was pretty much in charge of the house cleaning and my laundry and my dad's laundry.  I did not get an allowance.
 
5) He says he tries never to miss breakfast, even on the road, and his favorite is peanut butter banana pancakes. Given the choice, do you prefer pancakes, french toast, or waffles?  It would depend on my mood.  Right now, french toast would be my choice.

6) When they were still in their teens, Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears were sweethearts. Obviously it's been easy for him to keep up with her successes and problems over the years. Do you wonder what one of your exes is up to?  not really.
 
7) In 2013, when this song was popular, Pope Benedict resigned. Thinking of your working life, have you felt greater stress on your first day at a job, or your last?  The first day was always stressful for me.

8) Also in 2013, the NHL owners reached an agreement with the players union and avoided a strike. Have you ever belonged to a union?  I am part of MSTA (Missouri State Teachers Association) and my husband is in the Laborers union.  We have great insurance from my husband.

9) Random question: When was one of the first times when you felt like an adult?  Maybe when Josh was born and I was making important decisions.

  2. I did all the house cleaning when I was growing up, too...and I didn't get an allowance other than as my dad said, I was "allowed to live there." LOL I can laugh now, but I sure couldn't back then. I hope you are sleeping in and getting that rest!

  4. I always feel stress at the end of the school year--to wrap up all the curriculum loose ends, get the end of the year paperwork completed, finish verifying grades... then there's cleaning the room, work orders for the summer custodians--I'm stressing out thinking of all the work!

  7. #3 I never heard of a “teacher shirt” before.
    #5 Strawberries are on sale so I bought two and this morning I had strawberries and whipped cream on my pancakes.
    #7 I knew I was going to be laid off and I couldn’t wait. When I got my pink slip I skipped out the door waving the pink slip.
