Some people seem to know themselves quite well. They have clear likes and dislikes and distinctive personalities. Maybe it’s because my head is in the clouds most of the time, but I don’t think I’m one of those self-aware people. That’s why it’s nice when a tag like this comes along to bring me back down to earth and get me thinking about what makes me tick. For that I have smart, funny, forward-thinking Rae @ Bookmark Chronicles to thank. Rae discusses so many intelligent topics in her blog, not the least of which is, of course, books. 🙂 I hope you get a chance to check out her blog.

I love nature but have been wanting to visit more U.S. cities. Closer to the western U.S. Would be more within my budget.

It’s so strange. I’d eaten avocados before with no problem, but while I was pregnant with my son I developed a serious aversion to avocados, and it never went away!
