I See Love

Welcome to Saturday: 9. Hosted by Sam!

I See Love (2010)

Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.

1) This is the theme from Mike and Molly, a TV show that ran from 2010 to 2016. Were you a fan?

I never heard of it!

2) Molly was played by Melissa McCarthy. Today she's one of Hollywood's best-paid actresses, but when she began her career, she was barely scraping by. She recently recalled the time when, as a struggling actress, she was rejected at the ATM because it only gave out $20s and she didn't have even that much in her checking account. How often do you visit the ATM? Several times a week? Several times a month? Never?

I never visit it,  hubs does  probably once a month.

3) When she was broke, Melissa couldn't afford blueberries and avocados. Now she savors them. When you're a few bucks ahead, what do you splurge on?

Latrely, I suppose it is  ordering  clothing form my favorite  catalog...  trying to  preplace  clothing I have  reduced out of . I love 

4) Mike was played by Billy Gardell. He was working at a comedy club, cleaning the bathrooms and answering the phone. He used to crack jokes with other employees and finally one of his coworkers dared him to go onstage on "open mic night." A comedy career was born. Tell us about someone who pushed you to make the right move.

My dear  friend, Pam, and  co-worker at school  was a very innovative reading teacher who loved   doing inservices    on teaching reading   at  conferences.  She wanted a partner  to go in with her to write a book  on her    ideas and develop  a hand’s on  handbook .  I  wasnt too sure I was  wanting to do this   but I started spending  long hours  after school writing and creating our handbook   and  soon  she was  writing up proposals for us to lead breakout groups  at conferences  all over the east coast.  Therein, began a  great  season of our careers.  We traveled to Charleston, WV, Richmond, Lynchburg, Norfolk, Charlottesville, 

 and Alexandria, Va.  And our favorite to Charleston, S.C. at the Omni there. 

5) On the show, Mike's best friend was his fellow officer, Carl McMillan. Carl was not especially motivated and still lived with his grandmother, well into his 30s. How old were you when you moved out of the house for good?

I was 21.

6) Mike's and Molly's mothers are different as night and day and frequently did not get along. Have you ever had in-law trouble?  Yes.

7) This week's song was written by Keb Mo. He switches among several different guitars when he works -- electric, acoustic and resonator. Can you play guitar?

No.

8) In 2010, when this show premiered, Apple introduced the iPad. Do you use a tablet? 

Yes!

9) This week's random question gives you an opportunity to brag: What's something you do better than most people?

I am accomplished in  many things but I never thought bout being better than anyone. I have no idea.
