Life is Good!

Yay!  Kat at A Myriad of Books has given me the Life is Good Award!  Thanks so much.  I really enjoy learning about other bloggers, so here goes.

Here's what to do upon receiving this award:

1.Thank and link back to the person that gave this award.
2.Answer the 10 survey questions below.
3.Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic.
4.Contact the bloggers you’ve picked to let them know about the award.

So you see, it's like a never-ending chain of blogging awards and... awesomeness.
Here are my answers to the 10 survey questions: 

1. If you blog anonymously are you happy doing it that way; if you are not anonymous do you wish you had started out anonymously so you could be anonymous now? 

No, I'm not anonymous.  I'm not sure everyone knows every detail about me, but I'm not anonymous.

2. Describe one incident that shows your inner stubborn side: 

I always want to be right.  I get stubborn before I can admit I'm wrong.

3. What do you see when you really look at yourself in the mirror? 

I really don't like to look in the mirror, but I think I just see me.  I have no illusions about growing old, etc.

4. What is your favorite summer cold drink? 

I really just like water.  Beer is good once in a while.

5.When you take time for yourself, what do you do? 

Hah!  Read of course. 

6. Is there something you still want to accomplish in your life? What is it? 

I want to get my kids through college, and settle into retirement (I've quite a few years for that, though.)

 7. When you attended school, were you the class clown, the class overachiever , the shy person, or always ditching? 

Overachiever.

8. If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment of your life what would you see?

Giving birth to two children comes to mind first.

9. Is it easy for you to share your true self in your blog or are you more comfortable writing posts about other people or events?

I don't mind talking about myself, but I don't think that's what people want to read.  I like to read about books, and that's what I try to provide in my blog.

I've discovered a few new blogs lately, so here's the people I'd like to learn more about.  Please make sure you check out their awesome blogs!
