...and Counting


It's Saturday night, and I'm home blogging about the books I have read this summer as my stomach continues to hate me for some unknown reason.  Although life may be a bit pathetic, it could be worse.  Next week I need to work two days before the official "Back to School" week starts on August 27th.  I'm fairly certain it will not give me enough time to finish the stack of Maud Hart Lovelace books that I have left to read, but I will do make the attempt.  As of this evening, I have read 41 books this summer (30 young adult books and 11 adult books, that always sounds a bit creepy especially since Shades of Grey was not one of them).  My favorite YA books were Wonder, Tin Foil Sky, and perhaps Curveball: The Year I Lost my Grip. My favorite adult books (I'll call them book, books) were Healing: A Novel, Doc: A Novel, and Wild (What's up with titles that include a novel?).  Tomorrow I will start on that pile of Maud Hart Lovelace books.  My first book from the pile will be Matched because I've heard great things about it.  Maybe I'll even finish before September 4th when the real fun begins.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
