Saturday 9: If It Makes You Happy

.

Link up here if you're a 9'er like I am!

.

.

Sheryl Crow is a breast cancer survivor and October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Please spread the word about early detection.

1) What's something that always makes you happy?
.

Hearing my kiddos laugh heartily

.

2) In the lyrics, Sheryl refers to a poncho. How do you usually protect yourself from the rain? Poncho? Umbrella? Raincoat? Hat?

.

I usually use an umbrella. Or nothing. I love walking in the rain... but at Disney and other such places, we'll use ponchos.

.
3) Early in her career, Sheryl made ends meet by singing commercial jingles, including one for McDonald's. When was the last time you visited The Golden Arches?

.

I try not to eat there ever, because ew, but I'll admit I have gone there in the past six weeks or so for an egg white McMuffin. They're okay.

.
4) Sheryl rode a horse into the ring of a Wyoming rodeo and then sang. Have you ever been to a rodeo?

.

No, and I never will. Because ew.

.
5) Sheryl lives outside of Nashville, which is known as Music City. What type of music do you listen to most often?

.

I listen to Top 40 pop music most of the time. Because ew. (Okay okay, I'll stop that now!)

6) Crazy Sam is a massive Sheryl Crow fan and is sure that the only reason why she and Sheryl aren't best friends is that they haven't met. What famous person do you think could be your BFF?

.

Probably someone goofy like Drew Barrymore

.
7) Sheryl and cyclist Lance Armstrong were once engaged. Had they tied the knot, she would have become stepmother to his three children. Are you a step-parent, stepsibling or stepchild?

.

I was a stepdaughter. I may have mentioned my Cinderella story once or twice here on the blahg. ;) I had an evil, horrid, wicked stepmother after Mom died, from when I was seven until I was 17 and graduated high school. Technically, I've had three of them, but only one as a youth.

.

8) Sheryl has performed carols at the National Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony in Washington DC. Have you ever visited your nation's capital?

.

Yes, when we lived in Virginia we went to D.C. at least once or twice a year. Ever American should go, IMNSHO.

.

9) Do you consider yourself easy going or do you have a fiery temperament?

.

I have red hair for a reason! ;) "Easy going" are the absolute last words anyone would use to describe me. I wish it weren't so, but alas...

.

Fin.
