This week’s edition of Saturday 9 is entirely devoted to favoritism – I know parents aren’t supposed to play favorites but you know we totally do! So I’m not gonna lie to you – I’m going to tell it like it is, starting with…

1. What is your favorite thing to do alone? Hmmm that’s a tough call – I love to go grocery shopping alone – so much so that I did it twice this weekend – it was so good, all the cashiers thought I was some awesome single woman, and all the kids crying and whining in the aisles were so not my own children. I was loving it like crazy. I don’t know if it’s my favorite thing to do alone, but it is pretty freaking incredible.

2. What is your favorite thing to do with your best friend? Get drunk Have a root beer or cherry coke and talk in a Russian accent while playing fun games like “Wise or Otherwise” (which I call “Wise or NotsoWise” always except for ten words ago) or Apples to Apples.

3. What is your favorite band? Man I’m just not much of a “band” person – I really do prefer solo artists, I guess I’ll have to say the Barenaked Ladies or else the Beatles, because I honestly can’t think of many other bands that I listen to very often these days. I can tell you that about 10 years ago I would have said The Backstreet Boys (noticing a B trend… hmmm…) without so much as flinching. Those were the days…

4. What is your favorite song? That’s like asking me my favorite color – I’m not big on decision making – lately I’ve been digging this song Jason Castro sang in Idol that I later learned was in the movie Shrek (and I’m wondering if Jason knows this and / or if that’s where he first heard it) anyway it’s that song that goes, “Love is not a victory march ; It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah ; Hallelujah; Hallelujah ; Hallelujah; Hallelujah…” and yeah I totally looked up the lyrics online to write this, so I know now that the song is called ‘Hallelujah’ and it’s by Jeff Buckley and I’m pretty sure he probably said so on Idol but you never know. Anyway, it’s beautiful – even listening to it on Shrek made me almost cry, and Jason Castro did a way way way way way better job. Hallalujah.

5. What is your favorite part of your job? My job title – Stay at Home Mother – it pretty much rocks – I mean sure, there’s no 401K or vacation time, but I set my own hours (sort of) and spend my days playing with mega bloks and making peanut butter and jelly. I can’t really complain (much).

6. What is your favorite TV show, on now? Total toss up between Grey’s Anatomy and Bones – but if you read this blog at all regularly, you probably knew that.

7. What is your favorite TV show all time? Oh so hard to say – it’s more like an on going list, add to the two shows from question 6: Gilmore Girls, Dawsons Creek, Alias and Buffy the Vampire Slayer – and maybe the Dick Van Dyke Show and Veronica Mars

8. Who is your favorite actor? What is it with you surveys and making me choose things… ummm… well, Johnny Depp – seriously, he’s amazing. There are other dreamy actors that come and go but I don’t think many are half as talented as J. Depp – and he’s dreamy to boot – total package.

9. What is your favorite film? Gone With the Wind – finally a question I didn’t even flinch answering. I could go on and swoon about how amazing the movie and book are, and how they are like the story of my life but not even close and on and on and yammering and so forth, but I won’t. Because I’ve answered your nine questions and I’m done. I’m going to bed. Thank you and good night.
