Saturday Nine

I absolutely love Reba (although I don't have any of her music...that's what Spotify is for) and even though she show was dorky/sappy, we loved it here at our house.  Our oldest  daughter has every single season on DVD. I watched the entire show on Netflix. so when I saw the Saturday Nine questions for today, I just had to pause my morning chores and play along. Head here to join in! 

Saturday 9: Consider Me Gone (2009)

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

 

1) In this song, poor Reba McEntire confronts a lover who makes her feel like she's not good enough. Let's go in a more positive direction: Who in your life makes you feel happy and secure?

Well, first of all my Redeemer/Creator but after God, my husband.  He is my rock. Life hasn't always been easy and happiness is fleeting so I'm changing that word to "joy".  He brings me inner joy, even when we are arguing or something silly like that. And of course, one simply cannot understand the peace and joy that comes when trials arrive..and they do ... unless you have that  firm foundation in Christ. Jesus really is the center for my inner joy.  Yes...even when life sucks. 

 

2) Reba hopes her lover will look back on her as someone who used to make him laugh. Who did you most recently laugh with?

last night with Dave. We were watching The Intern on Netflix with DeNiro and Anne Hathaway.  Full of laughs! 

 

3) She was director James Cameron's first choice to play Molly Brown in the 1997  blockbuster Titanic, but she had to turn down the role because she was committed to a concert tour. Think of the last invitation you received. Did you say yes or no?

I had to say No to an invite for an extended family BBQ as I have other plans for that very same day. 

4) Reba comes from a rodeo family: both her father and grandfather were champion steer ropers and her mother was a barrel racer. Have you ever been to a rodeo?

No. 

5) She loves game nights with family and friends because she says she's "a competitive person." When you play friendly board or card games, do you always play to win?

We are a competitive family, so yes.  But more importantly, we mainly love the food, fun and fellowship around the table!

 

6) Reba wears tall boots all the time, even in summer, and has more than 100 pairs. Do you often wear boots?

yes: I have boots for spring that come just above my ankles; I have summer boots that are super low (right at ankles) to wear with certain jeans, skirts, dresses and shorts; in the Autumn months (usually October through Feb) I wear riding boots. I have some in a dark brown, and black. I love my riding boots with skinny jeans tucked in or with one of my knee length dresses. and of course I have rubber boots for hiking in wet conditions, winter snow boots for walking in snow and 2 pairs of hiking boots. 

 

7) In 2009, when this song was popular, Mark Zuckerberg tried unsuccessfully to buy Twitter. Elon Musk acquired it in 2022 and renamed it X. Do you often post to Twitter/X?

absolutely not. I don't have an account and never will. ew. 

 

8) Back in 2009, DuPont announced that silver and black were the most popular vehicle colors, accounting for half the cars the world over. What color is your ride?  

My cars: senior year of college: Red Dodge Dart that caught on fire 2 years later;  Light Blue Pontiac LeMans that was totaled by an ambulance running a red light during grad school; a Dark Blue Ford Taurus (a crap car that didn't last long); then a Black Chrysler LeBaron that I loved and drove until my oldest was 6. Then a white Nissan Sentra that I drove for about 10 years; then a Silver brand new Nissan Sentra I drove for another 10 years and gave to our youngest for college who drove it for 5 more years; and now a Royal Blue Honda Civic  Coupe with silver glints in it. My next car is going to be either a hybrid or a Kia Soul....color unsure but I'm leaning towards a shade of green or silver. 

 

9) Random question: Have you ever had a job that required you to wear a hairnet?

yes...when I was a waitress in the Rochester NY area for Ponderosa and when I worked at Burger King out in western NY. 

HAPPY SATURDAY!!
