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 Weeks Question:
(Brought to us by Gwen from Chew and Digest Books): Do you have any other hobbies(not necessarily talents) besides reading?

Like all of us, who are members of this fantastic community, reading is definitely #1

My #2 hobby is fairly new, and that is blogging,  I did not even know this world existed a year ago.

this one is MINE by Maria Semple
Published by Back Bay Books/Little, Brown and Company
ISBN: 978-0-316-03133-2
At the request of the author’s friend, a PB copy was sent, at no cost to me, for my honest opinion.
  Synopsis (from back of book): Violet Parry has a picture-perfect life: a beautiful house, a successful husband, a darling daughter. Violet can speak French, quote Sondheim, and whip up dinner from the vegetables in her garden. She has everything under control-except her own happiness. All it takes is a chance encounter with Teddy Reyes, a roguish small -time bass player with a highly evolved sexuality to open Violet’s eyes to what she’s missing and upend her life completely
  My Thoughts and Opinion: This week I asked advice for getting out of my reading slump because I felt that I just couldn’t and didn’t want to pick up this book and read. And then today, in my google reader, another book blogger/reviewer answered my question. Alayne from The Crowded Leaf, posted her review of this very book and made me realize why the slump. She could not finish it. I read 90 pages and did not like, nor could I relate to any of the characters. This is my opinion, and only my opinion, but without giving away a spoiler to the plot, I had a hard time with the story line. I have read other books with a similar theme but this book was difficult to read in the way it was presented. Unfortunately, I had to set this one aside and place in the DNF pile.

Tomorrow is the anniversary of 9/11, so in remembrance of those that lost their lives and those that lost loved ones,

MY QUESTION IS:

Where were you on that fateful day?

MY ANSWER:

I was having my coffee, checking my emails and had the tv on listening to the Today Show..
