Saturday Nine: I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm (2006)

This week's Saturday Nine:

1. Bette Midler sings about the storm that's raging outside. How's the weather where you are today? Clear, but cold as fuck. It was -24°C today. I am a human popsicle.
   
   
2. She mentions her gloves. Tell us about your favourite pair of gloves or mittens. I don't really have a favourite, but my current ones are black and white striped woollen gloves from Joe Fresh. They came in a set of three for $5.
   
   
3. Does your home have a fireplace to keep you warm? Yes, there's an electrical fireplace, but I've never used it.
   
   
4. Bette's father, Fred, supported his family as a house painter. Have you ever held a job that kept you outdoors a great deal of the time? Nope. I don't reckon I'd do well with an outdoor job, either.
   
   
5. Her mother, Ruth, was a talented seamstress. How about you? Can you sew on a button? Raise a hem? Darn a hole? I can sew on a button, but that's pretty much the extent of my sewing skills.
   
   
6. 2017 was a big year for Bette. At the age of 72, she opened on Broadway in the revival of Hello, Dolly! and won a Tony. As we kick off 2018, what would you like to accomplish this year? I would like to save at least $500 a month this year. I'm moving to a condo at the end of this year and need to save up for payments and furniture.
   
   
7. Bette and her husband Martin have been married for nearly 34 years. Their wedding was officiated by an Elvis impersonator. Are you looking forward to any weddings in 2018? No, but my friend Sam is having her baby shower in February.
   
   
8. Bette and Martin are very proud of their daughter, Sophie, now 30, who graduated from Yale in 2008. Do you expect to attend any graduation ceremonies in 2018? Nah. I don't even know anyone in school anymore.
   
   
9. Random question: Yesterday, who did you spend the most time with? My co-workers. Also, BTS. (I spent about four hours watching BTS' Bon Voyage Season 1 last night.)
