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 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.

All important documents

The third item was hard to decide. And I know I would have to leave some behind and only choose a few. But items that have sentimental value to me, like the Crucifix in our bedroom given to us by my husband’s cousin who married us, collectible items in my curio cabinet, items that have been passed down as the notebook filled with my grandmother’s recipes written in her handwriting and signed books.

This week’s question: Do you believe in ghosts, the paranormal, extraterrestrials and/or life on other planets?

My thoughts on life on other planets are that it is possible but I don’t give it much thought. And as far as “ghosts” in the true sense of the word and what I think most people think of when they hear that word, is no.

But I do believe in spiritual beings that have passed on to eternal life that become our guardian angels. My religious belief is that there is an after life. I have had too many incidents not to believe. I lost my Dad when I was 16 years old and feel that he has helped me through some difficult times that I have faced in my life, giving me little signs. If I shared all the signs, this meme would turn into a novel, so I will just end this by saying, Yes, I do believe in spiritual beings.

This week’s question: What is your favorite type of art? Or do you happen to have a favorite painting/artist/sculpture/etc.?

I have always been drawn toward art work that captures scenic and/or landscapes. For me, there is such a feeling of peace, tranquility, calm and the reminder of the beauty around us that we take for granted every day.

This week’s question: What are/were your favorite subjects in school?
During High School, it would be all courses that fell under Science/Health classes, since I was sure that when I applied to colleges it would be in the field of Nursing.

science <BR></P><P><BR></P><P><BR></P><P><BR></P><P><BR></P><DIV style=

However, during the 4 years in High School, there was one class that was my favorite. The majority of students were quite upset if they found out that they were in Mr. Baxter’s Junior’s English class, whereas I was saying Novenas that I would get, and I even requested, to have him as my 11th grade English teacher. And I did!! He required that you read a book, of your choosing, (can’t remember exactly the time frame since it was quite a few years ago) every 1-2 weeks and then write a book report. LOL Kind of what I do now as a hobby. Thanks Mr. Baxter!!!!

This week’s question: If you could change something about yourself, what would it be & why?

I admit these are 2 traits I need to work on. Both that I have been living with these past few months. I have anticipatory anxiety, the kind where I need to know what is going to happen, need to know every little detail, etc., etc., or I can become spastic. And as far as patience, some things, I just want done NOW, no waiting, sitting back, let the cards fall where they may. But as I am learning presently, sometimes patience will pay out in the long run.

Hosted by Yvonne from Socrates Book Reviews From Yvonne’s site:

I’ve wanted to start a meme like this for a long time. It’s “Anything Goes on Saturday”. It’s a chance to choose any topic you want and talk about it on Saturday – it can be about a book, TV show, movie, a recipe or just an update on your week. Whatever you choose.

Topic: Spam Explosion

Is it just me? Lately I have had a spam mailbox explosion!!! Until recently, I would get 3-5 spam emails, but, lately it is ridiculous!! Is it the season? Is anyone else seeing an increase in their spam folder? Wondering why all of a sudden? Would love to hear your thoughts!!!!
