Flowers

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
 
1) In this song, Miley Cyrus sings about gold as though it represents the best. Do you more often wear gold or silver? silver
 
2) She also sings the praises of buying herself flowers. Are there any cut flowers in your home right now? no, but I had already planned to buy myself flowers when I went to the market
 
3) She tells us she's going to paint her nails cherry red. Do you handle your own mani/pedi, do you go to a salon, or do you just let your nails go natural? salon every two weeks or so

4) In 2019, Miley had vocal cord surgery, and her recovery required her to go weeks without uttering a sound. Would it be difficult for you to keep your lips zipped for a week? if I was home it would be easy!  But if I had to go to work it wouldn't be possible.

5) Dolly Parton is Miley's godmother, and Miley singles Dolly out as the one who taught her "how to treat people well." Tell us about someone who was a positive influence on you. I had a colleague that was like a platonic soulmate and I learned a lot about building relationships with students while maintaining healthy boundaries

6) She is a massive Elvis fan and swoons every time she watches Blue Hawaii because he professes his love for Maile, pronounced "Miley." What movie have you watched many times? Elf or The Princess Bride or Under the Tuscan Sun
 
7) In 2023, when "Flowers" was released, actor Sir Michael Gambon died. Though he distinguished himself performing Shakespeare with the Royal National Theater, he is best known for playing Dumbledore in several Harry Potter movies. Who is your favorite Harry Potter character? Professor McGonagall

8) 2023 was a busy year for England's Royal Family, with the crowning of King Charles III and the publication of Prince Harry's memoir, Spare. Do you have a favorite among the Windsors?  I am a major fan of the Windsors--it's easier to say my least favorite:  Camilla

9) Random question: Do your siblings have children? If yes, are you close to them? yes and yes!

It is such a blessing when you find a work mentor that you teach you things you REALLY need to know. I like Under the Tuscan Sun, too. I never really had any desire to visit Italy (other than Rome) until I watched it.

I used to watch Under the Tuscan Sun at night when my husband was at work. I'd grab a good book and turn that movie on. I don't think I've seen it since he retired, though. He has a firm grip on the TV remote.
