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.
Today’s Topic:
This Weeks Question: Your absolute greatest phobia.
A Bit Of Me:
I have 2….snakes and heights.    I can’t even look at snakes on the tv.  While on vacation many years ago, we went to an exhibit, not knowing what was to come.  And then there was a warning to stay seated.  And out comes an Anaconda that was 18 ft long.  I was surprised I didn’t faint.  But my eyes were shut tight and my heart was pounding.  The other phobia is heights.  I have trouble getting on tall ladders lol.  While on a cruise, I never got close to the rail on the top deck because of my fear.
Now you know a little bit more about me.  What is your absolute phobia?

This Weeks Question: Tell everyone a bit about your very best quality or talent!   Read more:
  Talents?  I don’t play any instruments, even though my mom made me take piano lessons as a kid.  I can’t draw, but wish I did.  And I definitely can’t sing,  I even hurt my own ears while singing in the shower  lol but again, sure wish I could.
  As for my best quality,  I would have to say it is listening and keeping secrets.  I ask a lot of questions, which really annoys my family, but feel that and listening are ways to learn.  I believe that I developed this trait while in college during my final semester clinical hospital rotation.  I had requested that I be on a Cancer Unit.  My Dad passed away from pancreatic cancer when I was 16 and because of that, I felt I had to be able to deal with patients dealing with this disease.   Where I could be supportive to them and their families without allowing personal feelings to hinder that process.  Family, friends and even my kids’ friends usually come to me whenever they have a “problem” because they have told me, they know I will listen and keep their secrets behind zipped lips.  Now you know another “bit of me”.

What talents do you have?  What do you consider your best trait(s).  Would love to hear and get to know a “bit of you”.

Good morning all !!  It is early here and the weather is supposed to be hot and humid later on.  So my plan is to get all my Saturday Computer To-Dos done and then grab my book, iced coffee and head on out to the backyard, get in the pool on my float and read.

So if you comment and it doesn’t show up quickly, you will know where I am.  What are your plans today?

Today’s glimpse:
So, let’s get started!

This Weeks Question: What is your favorite smell and why? Does it bring back memories?
Read more: http://www.theresabook.com/category/a-bit-of-meme/#ixzz0twAikgi1
A Bit of CMash:
It also reminds me of vacations, which we are so overdue for.

Then it would be scents of different foods.  My mom and grandmother were great cooks/bakers and I would love walking into the house smelling what they had just cooked and/or prepared.  Examples like homemade pasta dough for lasagna, blueberry and apple pies.

This one will sound strange but its the smell of gas.  That brings back vivid memories of my Dad.  He owned a service station and whenever I smell the scent, I think of him.

Do you have favorite smells, why does it trigger memories?

Today’s Question:
This Weeks Question: What is one thing you are really NOT good at?
My answer:
LOL..Think many of you could answer this one for me.  One word…Computer.  I am so bad with computers.  I have trouble even after given directions between the lingo, codes, how-tos, etc., etc.  I waste so much time trying to figure things out.  I am very lucky that I have a bloggy friend who is my go-to person when it comes to computer questions.  She is always helpful and patient with me.  And who is my computer angel you ask…its Vicki from Reading At The Beach.  Thank you Vicki !!!

Smorgasbord Saturday

SATURDAY

No memes today  :(.    Usually on a Saturday I will do my weekly to-do computer blog list, such as updating my meter bars, update librarything widget, etc etc.  And then I usually post a question.  Here on a Saturday its a mini me of “Slapdash Sunday” and “Bloggiesta”
So I was thinking, Photobucket what about a blog hop Smorgasbord Saturday.    We can link up, and you can post something on your blog, for example, questions of “how to do this”, or maybe you found a neat little gadget for your blog and want to share, or maybe something big is happening on your blog this coming week that you want to talk about, or just something that is on your mind and you want the advice from your bloggy friends, etc. etc.  So today one of my questions will be “what do you think of a blog hop “Smorgasbord Saturday”?
My other question is about BBAW.  I am really torn about this.  I hear that there are many fun things that go along for that week.  But on the other hand, do I really want to nominate myself…that just doesn’t seem right to me.  If I was to throw my hat in the ring it would be for “new blog”.  The closing of the sign-up is for July 7th, so the clock is ticking.  Did you nominate your blog?  Have you participated in this in the past?  Are you also on the fence as to what to do?  Would love to hear from you about this topic.
