From Danielle’s blog:
We all leave our “footprint” on the world, in one way or another. We each, individually, do something or are someone that makes the world a little better just by being here. I created this weekly meme to get to know the blogging community I love just a bit better. To know what makes them tick, outside of books, that is. Each week I will post a question to be answered in the following week’s “A Bit of Me(Me)”. Check back each Saturday to get the info for next week’s post and link up with your current post right here.
This week’s question: If you could have 3 wishes granted, what would they be?
Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/category/a-bit-of-meme/#ixzz1OK1F7pu4

My 3 wishes are love, health and happiness for my loved ones and myself. I know it may be corny, but at this juncture in my life, I feel that having these are so important. Fourth would be financial stability. Over the past year or so, due to real life instances some being traumatic, I have been reflecting a lot on my life and how fast it has gone by. What is important and what isn’t. What I did right and what I didn’t. And what I want out of the rest of my life. Even though I have two out of the three, health being an issue, it could be worse. What about you? What are your 3 wishes?

This week’s question: What’s your earliest memory?

I don’t know how Danielle does it. She comes up with great questions week after week. However, today’s question has taxed my brain and I will probably need a nap after this since it was soooooo long ago lol.

I think my earliest and most vivid memories were of our family day trips. Not your usual day trips, at least, I don’t think so. My dad, before I was born, was a race car driver, so he loved to be behind the wheel of a car. Now you have to remember, this is back 50 years, when highways weren’t what they are today. Also that we live in RI. He would announce on a Saturday night, that the next day we were going to visit relatives in NY. No big deal, right? Except, there would be 7 of us in the car, 6 adults and me. Not too comfortable. I usually ended up, somehow, sitting on the backseat floor. Back and forth in a day. Probably 10 hours on the road, 5 hours visiting. I can remember to this day how uncomfortable I was in the car. And then, he decided we were going on a “family vacation” and he was driving us to Canada!!!!! NY trips became a breeze lol.

I have mentioned before that I lost my Dad when I was 16, but he left me with so many memories in the short time that I had him.

This week’s question:
Because BEA is happening I’m breaking the “no book rule” and asking you to share your top 3 books you are looking forward to reading in the coming year.
Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/2011/05/a-bit-of-meme-three-truths-and-one-lie/#ixzz1MzHSmeRm
First I hope that everyone that was able to attend the BEA, are having a really fun time, meeting bloggers, authors, publishers and publicists that they speak to everyday from behind a screen and are now getting to see face to face. I can’t wait to hear about their experiences. When I heard about this event last year, I was a newbie but thought that if I was still having the fun and enjoying this new world that I had found, I may consider attending this year. But then the surgery, and then the complications and limitations from the spinal procedures, and knew, that I would not be able to go. I would never be able to walk the distances or stand the length of time that I have read that is needed. Maybe some day!!! Putting that goal on my Bucket List!!

OK…back to today’s meme question:
Another tough question from Danielle. I guess the top three shelves of my bookcase isn’t what she means when she asks “share your top 3 books”. But that is exactly what I wish I could read.
But I will play along with the rules as best I can lol. I have 2 in my possession and one I know is in the works but not sure of when it will be published or even the title.

What about you? Can you name your 3 top books? It’s a hard question, isn’t it? Hmmm….. thinking that today’s question is going to add to our ever growing tbr lists!!!

This week’s question: Name three truths and one lie that not many people may know about you. (You can choose when to share the lie out of the bunch!)

Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/category/a-bit-of-meme/#ixzz1MnzQ50Oj

1. I have visited 6 countries

Map Maps Read Reading Travel Traveling VacationSmiley Smilie Smileys Smilies Emoticon Emoticons Animated Animation Animations Gif

2. When in 2nd grade, my family was involved in a “sting operation” for the good guys.

3. When in HS, I had the lead in a musical.

4. I am afraid of being in water above my head.

Which one do you think is the false statement about me?
I was going to let you wait until Monday for the lie, however, I changed my mind. Scroll down and I will tell.

The lie is ….I did NOT have the lead in a HS musical…I can’t sing a tune, not even in the shower. For that matter, I can’t even hum lol. Did you guess right?

This week’s question: What was your favorite toy when you were a kid?
Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/2011/05/a-bit-of-meme-favorite-things/#ixzz1LfIiWJ8z

I remember spending hours playing with my Barbie dolls. And my favorite outfits for the dolls were the ones that were high couture that my mother would knit and crochet for the dolls lol. I remember one being a brown knitted coat with a mink collar.

What about you…what was your favorite toy as a kid?
