my thoughts for today

:: This is the book I'm reading right now...and I must say, I'm really enjoying it. Awhile back, I read "My Sister's Keeper" by Jodi, and it wasn't a favorite of mine. So ever since, I've just skimmed over her books in the aisle. I decided to give her another shot though, and chose this one. There are a lot of different characters and I'm sure in the end they will intertwine somehow. I really like the way that she writes, so I think I just didn't like the story of the other book. She has a whole array of books out there, so I'm glad I gave her another chance. She'll keep me busy for awhile!!



:: Some women at work were discussing this book series today...I considered it a "teen" book and never really looked at it in the book store, but they all seem to be reading it. Have any of you read this series? If so, what are your thoughts? Apparently it's so good that they are zipping through the series of books and are going to be sad when it's done. Hmmmm...

:: Our internet at home seems to be working...for now...knock on wood! We'll see how it goes...

:: I'm waiting patiently for the first issue of my Clean Eating magazine subscription to arrive...where oh where is it???

:: Pay Day, Pay Day...gotta love Pay Day!

:: Making baked ziti tonight for dinner...made it with ground turkey last time and it was a bit bland. So tonight I'm going back to lean ground beef like I did for bunko awhile back...that was much tastier!

:: It is chilly willy here this week...and I'm finding that this cooler weather is really making me just want to hibernate and not work out. When I get home from work, I just want to cuddle up in some cozy clothes and veg out. I have to stay dedicated and at least get on my eliptical machine!!

:: Tried a new product and am liking the results. My nails are fairly damaged from getting acrylic tips...you can see rings where they drilled, and they are so thin and brittle that they break if I even look at them wrong. So, at Walgreens the other day, I found a product called "Total Nail RX"...it is a three part system. The first one is to strengthen, the second one is to revitalize, and the third one is to protect. For one thing, this is making my nails look a lot better, but it also seems to be making them stronger. My nails should be back to normal soon (although, with this product, my nails may become even better than before, because they've never been great!)...

:: Okay...I have an empty house all to myself and I am going to get some dinner cooking and enjoy the quiet for awhile...
