Saturday 9: The Sweet Escape

The Sweet Escape (2006)

Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.

1) This song begins with, "First of all, let me say I must apologize ..." Who most recently apologized to you?  One of the residents at the nursing home. The ones in the dementia unit are always apologizing for things that they didn't do or don't need to apologize for.

2) Gwen Stefani sings that she acted like "sour milk on the floor." Is there milk in your refrigerator right now? What about non-dairy creamer?  Yes, to milk...both 2% and chocolate (for our grandson) and no, to non-dairy creamer since we don't drink coffee.

3) In the video, Gwen wears several different pairs of stiletto heels. What are you wearing on your feet as you answer these questions?  Nothing. As long as the weather stays nice I am usually barefoot in the house.

4) Mrs. Stefani named her daughter "Gwen" after a stewardess in the book/movie Airport. Who was your favorite character in the book you just read, or movie you most recently watched? I just finished reading some chick lit called Alphabet Weekends and I liked the main character, Natalie.

5) Gwen is a distant cousin of Madonna's. Are there any performers in your family? Sort of. I have a second cousin (or is it first cousin once removed?) who is a very well known song writer in Nashville. He and his wife are heavy hitters there with their production company. He has won song writer of the year a couple of times.

6) In high school, she joined the swim team not because she enjoys swimming but because she wanted to lose weight. Are you doing anything (dieting, participating in an exercise regimen) in order to shed a few pounds?  I take Adipex-P and try to watch what I eat.

7) Before she became successful, Gwen worked at the makeup counter in a department store. What was the last thing you purchased? Did you buy it online or at a store?  I dropped a prescription off at Walmart last evening and did a quick run through the fall decorations. I came home with a few things.

8) Gwen has gotten a great deal of publicity for her romance with country star, Blake Shelton. What's your favorite Blake Shelton song?  I like too many to pick a favorite, but since you mentioned Blake....he is one of those that cousin of mine has written songs for.

9) Random question: Which of these compliments would make you the happiest -- to be called fascinating, or brilliant, or gorgeous?  Fascinating.

Thanks, as always, to Sam @ Saturday 9 for the fun song and questions!
