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: 
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.

  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.

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!)

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 is your favorite thing about yourself?
  Ohhhhh noooo…….Danielle is back to her “favorite” as in “just one” questions again lol.  And since I am not a “just one” answer type of person, I hope she doesn’t mind that I am going to bend the rules a little.

  I have been told, and also believe, that I have 3 positive traits. 

  I feel that I am a good listener and have always offered a shoulder for family and friends when it is needed.  I also believe by being a good listener is another form of education.  I have gained knowledge on aspects of life that I did not know about by listening to people talking about themselves, their lives, jobs, religion, beliefs, opinions, lifestyles, cultures, etc. etc.
  And along with being a good listener, I believe being compassionate, goes hand in hand.  This may have come from my training to become a nurse or just growing up and having a sister with cerebral palsy.

This week’s question:  If your house was on fire and you could only grab 3 things before leaving, what would they be? (Other than family or pets.)

This week’s question really made me think, to the point that I walked through my house trying to decide.
As many photo albums and tapes that could be carried.  That is definitely something that can not be replaced.  To lose pictures of my boys growing up would be devastating to me.
