Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) This song is about a couple dressed in their "Sunday Best." Will you be getting dressed up this weekend? So I'm getting to this late--I did dress up for Easter but did not dress up this weekend. Next weekend, though, is Mother's Day, and we have brunch reservations with my family. I plan to at least look like I woke and tried that day.
2) The happy couple is walking up the street arm-in-arm. Have you recently seen a couple holding hands or walking arm-in-arm in public? Were you one of that romantic duo? I have not and have not been, mostly because either my husband is carrying our son or one or both of us is holding his hand. Needless to say, he's a big fan of having us swing him.
3) This week's featured artist, Vera Lynn, was a beloved English singer who is affectionately remembered for her tireless work entertaining the troops during WWII. She famously sang "There'll Always Be an England" during outdoor concerts in Egypt, India, and Burma, even as battles raged nearby. What is your favorite patriotic song? "Battle Hymn of the Republic," easy. It just sounds so good.
4) Though she became a celebrity at 19, Vera continued to live with her parents until she married at age 21. How old were you when you left home for good? 22, I believe. I'd been working for a few months and took over a friend's lease for a few months, then when one of our housemates got engaged and decided to get a place with her fiancé, the rest of us went our separate ways, and I ended up in my own apartment. I stayed there for six years, I think, which was much longer than I wanted to, but that's just how the timing played out with getting married and finding a house.
Now, here are some questions in honor of this weekend's holiday...
5) More than 1.5 million Cadbury Creme Eggs are produced every day. Do you enjoy Cadbury Eggs all year around, only at Easter, or not at all? I don't really eat them, but I also don't really have a good reason for this.
6) Pretzels are considered a delicious Easter snack in Germany. Do you more often crave salty treats or sweet ones? Typically sweet.
7) We've been talking a lot about sweets this morning. The only holiday that generates more candy sales is Halloween. When do you eat more candy: Easter or Halloween? Probably Halloween because we take my son trick-or-treating around my mom's neighborhood, and even though it's not very big, almost everyone gives out packed treat bags and we end up with way more than he'll ever eat, as opposed to Easter, where he gets some small treat bags and gifts from relatives.
8) Easter is considered the season of rebirth. What makes you feel refreshed or rejuvenated? Good sleep, a vacation, or a hot bath. Or all of the above.
9) This year, April Fool's Day happens to follow Easter Sunday. Do you expect to fall victim to any pranks? I expected my mom and brother to at least try something, but neither did.
