Straight Up
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
Saturday 9: Straight Up (1988)
1)
In this song, Paula sings about being in a dream. Did you dream last night?I'm sure I did. I dream every night. Don't you?
2) When Paula enrolled at California State University, she planned on studying broadcasting and becoming a reporter. Think about your career aspirations when you were 19. Did you follow through and stay on track or, like Paula, did you veer off and find success elsewhere?
I wanted to be a teacher, I think. And ahhh, yeah. Not a teacher. LOL

Basketball is my least favorite sport - but when I root for a team, I root for the Celtics.

Stuff. I love stuff. All sorts of stuff. House stuff. Clothes stuff.

Usually my instincts are spot on. Walks like a duck, talks like a duck, it's usually a duck. Or a car salesman. LOL
8) In May, Paula traveled to Austria for The Life Ball, a fundraiser to help those afflicted with HIV/AIDS. When is the last time you left the country?

It's been a while. I think I drove through Canada a few times going back to the East Coast. But now my passport is expired. I need to travel more.
