Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song tells the story of Katie and Tommy. She waited for him to pull up in his beat-up Chevy truck. Tell us about your wheels. I have a white 2015 Honda Civic.
2) Katie and Tommy stay out until 12:30 AM. What time did you go to bed last night? I'm pretty sure it was around 9:30 or 10.
3) The lyrics tell us, "What's meant to be will always find a way." Do you agree? Generally, yeah, but I also think that's an oversimplification and romanticized.
4) This was the first big hit for Trisha Yearwood. While she's found her greatest success in music, she's also written top-selling cookbooks. Are you a better singer or cook? Cook, as long as I have the time and am following a recipe. When left to my own devices, I'll make something very simple that's not at all impressive.
5) Trisha also appeared in six episodes of the TV drama JAG. She played a medical examiner and forensic pathologist, which means her character had a medical degree and (at least) one year of additional training. That's (at least) five extra years of higher education. Do you enjoy taking classes? I do, actually! I would gladly stay in school for the rest of my life if money and time weren't an issue.
6) In real life, Trisha earned a degree in Business Administration before going into music. She uses what she learned in school, keeping a close eye on her finances and those of her superstar husband, Garth Brooks. She says she likes and trusts the people hired to their money, "but I check on them." Do you keep a careful eye on where your money goes? Generally. We have a lot of debt, unfortunately, so I'm often checking our accounts to see what I have to work with and making payments accordingly. And since I'm checking our accounts so often, I notice quickly if something is off, as was the case earlier this summer when one of our credit cards had fraudulent charges on it--twice.
7) In 1991, when this song was popular, Dances with Wolves was a hit in the theaters. Have you seen it? I've seen parts of it. I'd definitely like to go back and watch the whole thing at some point.
8) Also in 1991, Seinfeld was a big deal on the small screen. It's still popular in syndication on cable channels and on streaming services. Do you more often watch broadcast TV or streaming/on-demand channels? Definitely more streaming, by far. Almost exclusively, really.
9) Random question: Have you ever gone a day without laughing? I mean, I'm sure--it's probably impossible to laugh every single day of your life. But my husband and son definitely keep me entertained.
