Saturday 9 Meme: Blue Christmas

Now since you all know I am an Elvis fan, hence the Elvis tattoo and umm, the title of this blog...I found this meme to be the most fitting meme of all to give unto me! And this happens to be my most favorite Elvis photo and he happens to be in a BLUE suit and my blog address is Moody BLUE and this meme is BLUE Christmas!!! LOL!

Man, I got to lay off the coffee.

Ok, shall we begin?

1) Do you ever suffer the blues during the holidays?
Well by the looks of things, you would think no, but actually I do suffer the blues during the holidays. This is the first year in 19yrs that my cat Harley won't be with me. I also miss my Mom during the holidays (and everyday of course).

2) More than 18 million visitors have toured Elvis' home, Graceland. Have you ever been there?
As an extreme Elvis fan for 35 of the 40 years of my life, I humbly hang my head in shame and say, no, I have never been to Graceland. But, I plan to go. I promise. I want to go in the worse way. But I do have an Elvis tattoo. Does that count? I am very dedicated!


3) Elvis dyed his naturally light brown locks black. Do you dye your hair?
I dye my hair blonde and have highlights and lowlights.

4) He also insisted his young girlfriend, Priscilla, dye her hair jet black. If your lover asked you to change your hair, would you?
Well my hubby has asked me not to cut my hair short and I have accomodated him and not cut it short. So I keep it shoulder length or longer for him. But I really wouldn't cut it short anyway, I'm just used to having it this length. If I really wanted a short hair cut I would just do it because it is my hair anyway right?

5) Elvis served his country at an Army base in Friedberg, Germany. Have you ever been to Germany?
No

6) Elvis famously had an affair with Ann-Margret during the filming of Viva Las Vegas. Have you ever indulged in a dalliance with a coworker?
Yes. When I was 16 I dated one of the customer service managers who was 21 at Steinbach. I was just a kid so it really wasn't a "romance".

7) Thinking of his movies ... Elvis was, by and large, unhappy with his film career and once said, "The only thing worse than watching a bad movie is being in one." Are you happy with the way your career is going/has gone?
So far so good.

8) Elvis lost "the battle of the bulge" toward end of his life. Are you happy with your weight?
After 40 years I can finally say - YES!

9) As a teenager, Elvis worked as an usher at a movie theater. What was your first job?
When I was 14 in a dental office answering phones and cleaning the rooms. Then I worked at Steinbach as a retail associate after school.

An Elvis fan who has never been to Graceland? I guess that makes you a complicated lady and so we'll color you moody blue. (Yeah, I'm a fan, too. I consider quoting that lyric to you our secret handshake.)
