A Bit of Me - Cartoon Characters

Every Saturday There's A Book posts a question for bloggers to get to know each other a little better.

This Weeks Question: What cartoon character describes you the best?

I don’t know which cartoon character describes me the best.

 

I used to feel like this . . . . . . . . . .

I wish I felt like this . . . . . . . . . . .

I have never been into cartoons much.  I did look around at some and even took the quiz that you all talked about.  It said I was Tweety. 

I said to my husband, “I’m not Tweety!”

But then I looked at the picture.  Right now in my life, this is me. 

This is exactly me!

Well, maybe without the cat slippers.  Just picture crocs instead.

My Dream Job

My dream job would be to work for a nonprofit organization that supplies free books to people.  I would drive all over and deliver these books to all ages.  Not too big of a bookmobile, but just comfortable enough to drive.

This is a picture of the bookmobile at the Hunterdon County Public Library in New Jersey where I grew up.  According to their website, it is still going.

JOG and BLOG

Let's get moving!!

We can all benefit from fresh air, sunshine and exercise.  Get out those audio books and join me for Jog and Blog 2011.  Dedicate some time to walking, running or jogging while listening to that next great read on your list. 

Hit the gym or the track and then don’t forget to come back!

Gather here during the month of April to share your Jog and Blog experiences.  As I get older, I need some extra motivation to get myself out for a jog.  A good book can help!  I also use audio books to get me through that dreaded chore of grocery shopping – ugh!!

Follow my blog to keep up with the Jog and Blog activity and you will be entered to win an Amazon Gift Card in April.

I C Dead People 

This might sound a little weird but if I could pick a super power, I would want to be able to talk with those on the other side.

When I was a child, I remember asking my Mom if she would come back and tell me what it was like after she died.  I get drawn in by fiction related to this topic.  One of my favorite Orson Scott Card books deals with this subject.  You can read the first chapter of Treasure Box on his website.

This Weeks Question: What is the single best trip you’ve ever taken?



Last summer we took our kids on a trip to Hershey Pennsylvania.  We stayed at  Hershey Lodge which has amazing accommodations, recreational activities, mini golf and three pools.  We visited Chocolate World and Hershey Park.

It was 4th of July weekend and very, very hot but we lounged around the pools and played in the water park.  The entire town was filled with the aroma of sweet milk chocolate...mmmmmmm! 

I had been to Hershey Park on my 8^th grade class trip and remember having tons of fun with my friends.  This family trip was a Christmas gift given to us by my Mom who knew we needed a nice family vacation last year.
