Hey Blog BFF's! As we speak, I should be on a flight back to Virginia. If I'm not because my flight got delayed, then I'm probably too busy crying my eyes out over a bucket bowl of 'feel better' ice cream to write a post. So I figured I'd write one now, and have it post later! :)
I started my 5 Year To-Do List, and one of the things 'to do' is to read 500 books. Holy Jeeze! What did I get myself in to? That's 100 books a year, and honestly, if I had 100 books that I loved I could knock that out in a few months. The problem is, when I don't get into a book, I read at about the pace of a snail.
Case in point, I read the last Harry Potter (off-topic, if you love HP as much as I do, check out this site! It's like crack. Harry Potter wiki), Harry Potter and Deathly Hallows in roughly 4 hours. Yet, I've been trying to force myself through the book O, Juliet for about three weeks now. I'm over halfway done, and I hate to not finish something I'm so invested in, but dang it. The book is boring. Plus, since it's an adaption of Romeo and Juliet, I know how it ends.
So I was faced with the dilemma of just giving up and moving on to other books, or trying to finish, and wasting more precious weeks muddling through this book.
I finally gave up. Put some new books on my Kindle, and I'm on my way. I'll still finish O, Juliet, but now I don't feel as though I'm wasting my time when it comes to the 5 year plan! Haha. Do y'all like to read? I'm a reading fanatic, but it has to interest me. I love romance novels, and fantasy mostly. I also like biographies, especially of celebrities I find interesting. I've read both Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's bios. They were hysterical! I highly recommend both.
Right now I'm reading an anthology with one of the stories a Sookie Stackhouse story. I also have another one with a Sookie story on it, that I will read next (I love the Sookie books, and have already read all of the full length books!). I also have Water For Elephants that was recommended to me by Lisa, and I'm really excited about. Definitely want to read that before I go see the movie.
So basically, if anyone has any books they want to recommend, I'm always taking suggestions! :) What is your favorite book?!
Disclaimer: Not a fitness related post!
Ok y'all, I've been doing some major thinking about what I want my blog to be about. Mostly about fitness, and food. But really, it's almost like a diary, really. Haha. I really just want it to be about my lifestyle, since I am trying to change my lifestyle from:
That cursin', fast food eatin' couch sittin', stress feelin', bar hoppin' (though I never really was into bar hopping... I have had my nights), unhealthy chick.
into:
That life lovin', exercisin', nutritious eatin', healthy girl.
So, I think I'll just post about my day-to-day life. Which, for the next month and a half will probably remain pretty monotonous. Haha. But I promise, I'm way more interesting in the States. I think. :)
Well, a huge part of my life, and always has been is reading. Seriously. I devour books. I read way too fast for my own liking, and when I get into a book, it's done way too quickly in my opinion. Mostly, I read romance novels, but I also try and fit in some intelligent and thought provoking reads as well. But, mostly romance. Haha.
So I figured I'd incorporate book reviews as I read them. Also, I'd love inputs from you guys as to what books you love! :) I'll even create a page for my reviews. This way I can keep track of how many books I actually do read, since I'm kind of curious.
Also, if there are any ideas for the blog you guys have, I'd love to hear them. I may not do all of them, but I will definitely put them all under consideration! :) You guys totally make my day!
Right now I am reading "Sleeping Arrangements" by Madeleine Wickam. She is the author who also goes by Sophia Kinsella who writes the Shopaholic Series (which I LOVE!) My girlfriend sent this to me in my Valentine's Package, and I really enjoy it so far. :)
