11 Question Meme

I'm late with this one.  Sorry, I've been answering these questions over time, as I come up with answers.  These are harder questions than originally thought!

Michelle of Oh! For the Love of Books tagged me in this meme.  I thought it sounded like fun, so thought I'd answer the questions she possed...

1. What was your favorite book you read in high school?

Seeing as I was NOT a book reader in high school, cough there were other things to...occupy? my mind. ;) I will say I thoroughly enjoyed reading A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare in English class. It's stuck with me over the years.

2. What makes a great hero in a book?
Hmmm, I guess I'll think on some great hero's I enjoy reading... Someone that can add 1 + 1 to get 2.  Not a character that misses all the blatantly obvious facts and stumbles into saving everyone.  I also seem to like a hero that takes action into their own hands.  Fights on.  One that will not quit no matter how bad it is and won't let others stop them.  But there has to be a comic relief, not always the hero thought.

3. True or False - All is fair in love and war?
At first I wanted to say True, but then thinking I say False.  People do things in the name of love, that still shouldn't be done, or withheld from the one you love.

4. What was the best gift you ever got?  Oh this is hard!  Hmmm, it depends on the time and year. lol.  I got so many amazing gifts, and most are from my husband.  But then the little gifts are heartfelt as well.  I don't think I can pinpoint one

5. What's your favorite word to say out loud?
Wipe-ass.  lol.  Everyone says Ass-wipe and I like to reverse it.  Makes me smile when I'm mad at whoever I'm talking about.

6. What is one blogging goal you have for this year?  I wanted to try to get back to series I've started, and veered away from with review books coming in.  I'm not doing so good about that, as I've been starting NEW series! Eep!  I need to get focused again.

7. What is your guilty pleasure?  My guilty pleasure... Fantasy reads.  Well, in the reading end that is. ;) Fantasy books are my pleasure reads, oh yes all books are but fantasy seems to be one I don't read as much these days but so love it.

8. How would you describe the perfect setting for writing or reading?
Peaceful.  A comfy chair, blanket, hot tea, and no one bugging me.  No TV going, but could have music, depending on my mood and what I'm writing/reading on the style of music.

9. What are the top three songs on your playlist?  Don't laugh, well okay you can laugh...
        (Everything I Do) I Do It for You by Bryan Adams ~ This is for my Nano re-read
        Several of Adele's songs have been played a lot.
        2 of Marie Digby's songs are playing ~ Spell & What I've done ~ I just love her voice!

10. What are you scared of?  This question has stumped me, and I'm not sure what I'm scared of.  I keep trying to think of something solid, spiders or something.  But I really don't know.  Sorry.

11. What came first - the chicken or the egg?
Well, the egg of course!  I'm one to believe in evolution, so I think something evolved into the chicken bringing about that species had to have eggs in reproduction... now the question is what came first, that creature or the egg... hee hee, and I'd say the creature then. ;D


I'm to pick people and ask 11 questions... I'm going to leave it open.  It's always neat to learn new things about my friends out here, so if you would like to answer 1 or all 11 in the comments, or on your blog, please do!

If you were wondering....

I know many of you may not want to know.  But there are a few of you who might.  So I thought I'd share with you what's been going on with me.  I've been away from the blog for a few days here.  And thank you to those of you who still visit with the delay in me commenting back and getting to visit your blogs as well. :) You're all amazing. :)

But I had surgery on Tuesday August 30th.  Nothing major.  Well, I guess minor but it's so routine these days.  I had my thyroid removed.  I had three large nodules on it.  The doctor said to his eyes it looked all clean, no cancer there.  But as routine they send it out for further testing.  So I'm thinking all good things as I'm to young for there to be anything else. (yes I know, one is never to young but in My Little World that is my innocent reasoning so let me have a little thought of being young. ;P )

But, I've been sleeping or starring into space.  Yeah love those pain meds. he he... I found out I couldn't take the good stuff as I'm allergic, but found out quickly enough so no major reactions occurred.

But I'm home and resting.  My throat is feeling soooo much better.  But my neck is now starting to ache and it's stiff.  So, I'm resting.  On the recliner.  Resting.  Yes, it gets boring.  But I'm trying to read, which gets hard holding my head the same way all day.  But I'm trying.

And now I'm back to the blogs.  I'll make my way around to visiting every ones blog slowly here.  As there are many posts to try to get caught up on.

But I wanted to let the few of you whom I've become rather close to, that I'm doing well.  And recovering slowly here. :) So no worries.  All is good.  Now if I could get this magic wand to work it's magic and heal the wound in an instant all would be peachy-keen.
