Nevertheless (I'm In Love With You)

1) In this song, Liza Minnelli acknowledges that she may be "taking a terrible chance." Have you done anything risky lately? I can't think of anything risky, I've had a very tame summer

2) In 1969, when Liza recorded this song, she was 23 and her career was really beginning to take off. She was a sought-after guest on TV talk and variety shows and received her first Oscar nomination. Give us a quick overview of your life at 23.  I had just graduated college and was seeking a teaching job

3) Also in 1969, the first Gap store was opened in San Francisco. What have you recently added to your wardrobe? If yes, where did you buy it? I had an awesome Stitch Fix box--I kept everything and it was about $150

4) Liza says she always has apple juice in her refrigerator. What's something you're certain to have in your frig? a pitcher of filtered water

5) Liza's favorite card game is poker. What's yours? Spite & Malice--I've got a decade-spanning grudge match going with my Virginia sister

6) Though Liza recorded the song in 1969, "Nevertheless (I'm in Love with You)" was written way back in 1931. It has been recorded more than 50 times by artists as diverse as Bing Crosby, Andy Gibb and Bob Dylan. Before today, had you heard it? I just looked up the Andy Gibb version and I had heard that before

7) "Nevertheless (I'm in Love with You)" is credited to Bert Kalmer and his partner, Harry Ruby. Another one of their hits was "Who's Sorry Now?" Do you owe anyone an apology? not especially although I bowed out of an invitation

8) Together they also wrote "Hooray for Captain Spaulding," sung onscreen by Groucho Marx in the movie Animal Crackers. There were five Marx Brothers in all. How many can you name? Groucho, Harpo, and Chico

9) Random question: Do you believe talking to plants helps them grow? it certainly can't hurt them!

I’ve always been curious about stitch fix. You really like it?

I would like to try out Stitch Fix. I think that would be fun and a great way to try clothes/styles you may never try.
I go back to school the same time as you. We have meetings starting that same week, but we are in meetings all week and the kids start back on the 20th. I was thinking you started back way later that us. It has gone fast. Loved your answers! Have a nice weekend. ♥

I tried another one of the subscription companies, but cancelled. I liked the clothes they sent me, but I gave them a price range when I filled out the survey and everything they sent was a good bit over the range I wanted. Now I don't need it because my job is so casual I could wear sweats if I wanted.

Love that grudge match you have with your sister. I think you've mentioned it before. I don't have any family left that I could have something like that going on with. You are lucky.

I'm glad you're having a tame summer. I believe you fulfilled your year's quota of drama with that (boo! hiss!) eviction.
