Saturday 9 Love is In the Air

Unbreak My Heart

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 memes, however, and here is today's meme! 

Saturday 9: Unbreak My Heart (1996)

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

1) Songs like this are enduringly popular in part because each of us has had our heart broken. Give us the name of a heartbreaker from your own life.
Joe

 2) Toni Braxton sings that "nights are so unkind." What did you do last night?
 Fed our new cows, laundry, made dinner, and watched television

3) While this song has Toni singing the blues, in real life her love life is happier. Now aged 50, she's engaged and has been sporting a diamond on her left hand. Do you believe that a bride is ever too old to have a big wedding?
  I believe that whatever age you are, you are entitled to the wedding of your dreams. 

4) Growing up, Toni Braxton's parents severely restricted how much TV their children could watch each day. Ironically, today Toni and her sisters participate in a reality TV show on the WE-TV network, so TV cameras are a big part of their daily adult lives. What TV show do you try not to miss?
  I will rarely ever miss Criminal Minds or Swat. It drives my hubby crazy as I don't like to do anything those evenings because I am always afraid we will be late. 

5) She is prone to dry skin and applies Kiehl's Hand Salve to her hands and arms throughout the day. Tell us about a product you're brand loyal to.
  I always buy Lipton Tea and I always buy Maxwell House coffee. Also, my home is always scented with Pink Zebra products. If you have not heard of it, you should check out the website, www.pinkzebrahome.com/cslater

 6) Toni admits to being "a bit of a germaphobe," and always maintains a supply of hand sanitizer and wipes. What is always on your shopping list?
  Tea is always on my list. I go shopping often due to the work that I do, but rarely do I make a list these days. We stay stocked up for the most part and I buy less it seems from the store, but tea is a major item on the must have list. 

7) While she is not shy about her body, and has worn revealing outfits on the red carpet, Toni Braxton refused a 2011 offer from Hugh Hefner and Playboy to pose nude. What's the last thing you said "no" to?
 Work. I am constantly being asked to pick up extra shifts and I am not willing to do that at this time due to watching my grand doll. 

 8) In 1996, the year this song was popular, Mattel introduced a Star Trek Barbie and Ken set. Have you ever fantasized about space travel? 
  No, I do not believe I ever would want to go into space. 



9) Random question -- Would you (or did you) invite an ex to your wedding? 
  My husbands ex girlfriend was married to my brother when we got married so she was at our wedding. I also have a dear friend that I dated at one time and I would have invited him if he would have been near.

    I love criminal minds, but if we are going to be out, I tape it.

    I could pick up lots of extra shifts at my work, too, but don't want to for the same reason...it's all about the grandkids!

    Look who was #1 this week! Yea!

    I'm happy to see that you're loyal to Maxwell House. Coffee has gotten so complicated these days. Nice that the tried-and-true is still out there.

    My husband drinks Maxwell House too, and we buy Lipton tea mostly, although I occasionally try other brands if the decaf isn't on the shelf. Always end up back with Lipton, though.

    Space has always fascinated me. I'm too old now to go into space, but in my younger days I think I might have given it a try.

    I agree that a woman should be entitled to the wedding of her dreams at any age. I loved your answers! Have a nice weekend!

 Good Monday morning ladies, how are you? It is super cold here, but I am thankful for our wood stove and plenty of good heat. I am joining Sandra over at  Diary of a Stay At Home Mom  for the Happy Homemaker Monday link up party. She is so kind to host this weekly and there are many of us bloggers that enjoy this weekly post.  The Weather: Cold, snowy, below zero wind chills and temperatures of a night. I believe our high for the day is to be 7 degrees F. BRR!!!!!! I hate winter when it is like this. I don't mind cold, but I don't like Artic cold. I am not a fan of the ice that occurs when we have temperatures like this.  Right Now, I Am: Sitting at my desk drinking coffee. As I look out the window, I see a bit of snow and maybe a bit of a sunrise. It is about -18 degrees with the windchill and so it looks cold! I am listening to the news that my husband left on when he went out. It is not something I care to do, but I just haven't gotten up yet, to change...
