Diamondearrings.org contacted me and asked if I would try and review their earrings, and being female the answer was YES!!!!  I received the package within a couple of days and couldn’t wait to see what they looked like.  First thing I noticed was the velvety jewelry box they came in.  And then…..I opened it…..and there were sparkling, nice sized, princess cut earrings.  This is an actual picture:

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

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. 

From An Island Life:
  In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

Summer is almost over and fall is upon us, which brings me to today’s question.

Today’s Question:

Do you do fall/spring cleaning? To what degree?

My Answer:

Yes!! Top to bottom, cleaning out closets, throwing items out, etc etc. I feel so good when I’m done and everything is sparkling clean and organized. However, can’t do it at this time…doctor’s orders.

This is a new blog hop that I found and will be participating in.  This will be the fist time!!
