...about to take off!! I just printed off a bunch of information on how to start a Happiness Project group. For those of you who don't know, I found this wonderful site run by Gretchen Rubin. She decided that she wanted to become a happier person (don't we all????) and she wrote about her efforts. You can read about it on her website or buy her book. This is something that I want to try and do...
One of the things that she has on her website is a quiz asking you "How well do you know yourself?" I think I know myself pretty well, so let's see how this works:
1. What part of the newspaper do you read first?
When I read the paper, and it isn't often, I always like to start out with the Parade section. Ya know-the insert with all the questions about movie stars and random bits of Hollywood fluff. I wanted to be an actress when I was little and my love of all things related to show biz has never ended. I am a loyal addict of imdb.com and going to the movies is one of my favorite things to do!
2. What are three books you’ve read in the past year?
I am rereading the Twilight series; I have also read The Host by Stephenie Meyers. What else have I read???? I read a lot of beach novels, light, entertaining reads by Nora Roberts, Jude Deveraux, and Diana Palmer. I also read books like "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Wicked". I also like to read young adult literature and am a huge fan of the Percy Jackson series (the movie comes out in time for my birthday next year!!).
3. As a child, what did you do in your free time?
Read, listened to music, and played the piano. At one point in time, I actually had a piano in my room and everyone could tell what I was feeling, depending on how loud I played!! Music has always been one of my favorite things. I remember putting on my favorite tape (pre-CD!!) and then just sitting and writing what it made me think of. Hmmmmm...haven't done that for a while...
4. What’s a goal that has been on your list for a few years?
PLAY GUITAR!!! I am absolutely obsessed with this goal. I am really hoping to learn how to play it by this time next year.
5. What do you actually do with your free time?
Most of the time, I hang out with my kids, watching TV and VERY occasionally playing video games. I love to read!!! and watch TV. Sometimes I will feel motivated to clean the house. ; )
6. What types of activities energize you?
Dancing. I got out my, yes, MY!!, DDR dancepad and danced the other night. I could do that for hours...or, well, more realistically, until I run out of breath.
7. What famous people intrigue you?
Most. I would really like to meet writers, especially the ones mentioned above. I would also like to meet different movie stars, but who changes from day to day.

Well, that is a lot to think about right now... and I need to get back to work...
