A Bit Of Me

SATURDAY

What’s that saying….”how soon they forget?” Except this time it’s ME!! Just a couple of Sundays ago we had a Slapdash Sunday Discussion, about changes that I was thinking of for 2011, now that I have experienced almost a year of blogging/reviewing. Well this week my blogging buddy, Gina from Hott Books posted about challenges that she has found for 2011. And so far, I have my eyes on 2 of them. Stop by, say hi, find out which challenges she has found and has already signed up for. I will be posting shortly on which 2 I just HAVE to do!!! I promised myself that I wouldn’t go overboard this year, so I have started a list of the 2011 Challenges that are already out there, who is the generous blogger that will be hosting and which ones I will be joining. Just what I need…..another list!!! lol

And now I ask you for a favor. I joined one last year, a 2010 50+ Book Challenge. Thought that this one would be doable for me. However, the blogger that hosted it, shut down her blog a few months ago. I was even considering that I host a 2011 50+ but admit that I just don’t know enough of the logistics of hosting. So my favor is this….if you happen to come across a blog that IS hosting, could you please let me know…..that is another one I just HAVE to do lol!!

Happy Saturday and don’t forget to Fall Back Tonight!!!

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: Have you ever seen a broadway musical? Do you like theater?

This is awful!! I have been over taxing my brain ever since I saw what this week’s question was. I remember going on a class trip, while in Jr. High, to NYC and going to Radio City Musical Hall but for the life of me, can’t remember what we saw. However, now as an adult, I would love to see a muscial on Broadway. We have been to a few theater adaptations of Broadway plays and enjoyed them all.

Have you been to Broadway? Do you enjoy the theater?

This week’s assignment: What are three adjectives which describe you?
Oh my…there are so many adjectives I can come up with and I can guarantee, my sons can come up with a lot more lol so I will not be asking them. I did ask hubby and he mentioned one. So I will be posting my 2 and his 1st word that came to mind.
From hubby…thank you!!!!

EMOTIONAL/PASSIONATE

I feel that these 2 words describe me best, they go hand in hand for my personality.

I am an emotional person all the time, but even more so right now due to some personal issues that I am presently dealing with. I cry at the drop of a hat be it for something sad, a touching moment, a memory, something I see on TV, you name it. But on the other side, I will defend people and things I believe in to the end and can have a temper if provoked when it comes to family and/or friends being hurt or disrespected. I think these traits are part of my makeup because of situations I lived and witnessed growing up as a child.

COMPASSIONATE

This may go along with my hubby’s adjective but I can easily empathize with others. People have told me that I am a good listener and will confide in me knowing that I will never repeat anything that is said. Again, I think this comes from incidents that formed my personality while growing up. It may also be why I chose the profession of nursing, which I sadly had to retire from due to my back problems.

O.K. Your turn. What adjectives describe you?

This Week’s Question:
Which song makes your toes tap?

For me it’s not one particular song, but many, by the same group. My oldest son and his gf saw them in concert along with Chicago and said it was the BEST concert he had ever been to. So when he found out that they were once again in concert near us, he knew what to get us as a Christmas gift. And I must say, it was awesome. The group is from “my days” and are as good today as they were then. I am talking about Earth, Wind and Fire !!

Our son warned us to wear comfortable shoes, because even though we had good seats, we would be standing up a lot dancing along to the music. They put on a phenomenal performance with such energy that you just couldn’t stay seated. Hubby and I had a great time!! (Ironically friends of ours’ also had tickets). We had booked a room at the casino where they were performing, went up early, ate dinner, attended the concert and then met our friends for a drink. What a great time!!

Because this weekend is Dewey’s 24 Hour Read-A-Thon, we will retreat back to book related questions for one weekend!

So, This Week’s Question is: How many books have you read in a single sitting? Or, how long have you stayed up reading a book, which one, and why?
Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/#ixzz11gEQyiPz
I was so excited when I started seeing posts about this weekend’s Read-A-Thon, until I realized that I would not be able to participate due to previous plans. I will, unofficially, take part in between the “real life” commitments.

I have been able to complete a book in one sitting but it doesn’t happen often due to “real life” interruptions. I have also read late into the night because I just couldn’t put a book down, but learned that I would pay for it the next day when it is was hard to get my body out of neutral and had to struggle to keep my eyes open from lack of sleep.

HAPPY READ-A-THON!!!!!
