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:
Do you have a job you just couldn’t stand or possibly one that you were completely embarrassed by (ie. funny costume, etc.)? Tell us a little about it.

I started working at 15 years of age during High School and all through college until I graduated with an A.D. in the field that I had chosen as my profession.  Before graduating, however, I worked 2 jobs in 2 very vastly different environments at the same time, which now that I am thinking back to those years, I find it extremely funny how they were definitely at the opposite ends of the spectrum.  Most people who met me, at that time in my life, couldn’t believe that I would rather be doing what I was getting a degree in.  The other job definitely paid better but it just wasn’t what I wanted to do.  Matter of fact, remembering it all now, I would be introduced as this is Cheryl, she is a____!  Ok..kept you in suspense long enough?…..lol.

I was approached to be a model for runway, photo shoots and catalogue prints by a well known retailer.  I did this for approximately 7 years with the stipulation that I would only work in the New England area so that it would not interfere with my education and it had to be within driving distance, in case I was scheduled the next day for my other job.  Lights, glam, hair, makeup, latest fashions, runways at night…………………………………….bedpans in the morning lol.  Besides the modeling, I worked as a Nurse’s Aide until I received my degree.

To many it was a choice they just couldn’t understand, how could I not want to live that life, a no brainer in which to choose.  But for me, it was too superficial, which I am not and there was only one choice, becoming a RN, which I never regretted but solely miss.  I thought that being a nurse would be the ultimate job, but then I chose and took on the responsibilty of the most important job of all:

This Weeks Question: Who is a famous person (dead or alive) that you most admire? And why?

Danielle also posts what the following week’s question will be.  So last week when I saw the above question, and my answer is the same today, I thought of just one person.  To some my answer might be corny or even questionable but it was and is my only answer.  I hope I don’t offend anyone with my answer but it was my first thought when I saw the question, it is my belief and feel that this is the only answer for me.  So to answer the question: Jesus.  I am Catholic and believe that Jesus died for us.  He has guided me, and sometimes even carried me, through some very difficult times.  For me, there is no one that I admire more.

This Weeks Question:
Who is your favorite male character, in a book or on a TV show/movie? Why?

Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/category/a-bit-of-meme/#ixzz0yYXsnIxA
My Answer:
I am not a tv person unless it is cable news.  I enjoy watching Anderson Cooper and Larry King.  Anderson Cooper appears to be a genuine down to earth and caring person.  I was surprised when I had heard that his mother is a VanderBilt.  I have great respect for him especially when he puts himself in harm’s way for journalism.  As far as Larry King, for interviewing so many famous, infamous and interesting individuals.

And for books…there are so many and it depends on what I am reading.  If there is a male main character that I feel comes to life and I can relate to, then he becomes a favorite.  But one stands out and that is the Alex Cross character in James Patterson’s books.

This Weeks Question: Who is your favorite female character, in a book or on a TV show/movie? Why?

Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/category/a-bit-of-meme/#ixzz0xu1eNXjH
My Answer:
This week’s question is very hard for me to answer.  I have been thinking about it for days (Danielle posts what the question will be in advance).  I am not a big TV or movie person.  The only thing I watch and/or listen to when it comes to TV is one of the 24/7 cable news station.  Yes..I am a cable news junkie!!  As for movies, I would rather read and form the imagery in my mind as if I AM watching a movie.  Female character in a book?   That would be the character in whatever my current book is.  If I can relate to a character at the time of reading, then that’s my favorite character. 
Not sure if you learned a little bit more about me with this question, but had to answer it honestly.  What about you?  Any favorite female character?
