Stiff

Last night 'Books & Besties' picked this book:

I got it today and I'm really excited to start it. It'll be interesting to learn what happens to our bodies after we die. So far I've read the introduction and its really appealing how it relates dead bodies to living activity. I'm excited to get into further.

Sharp Objects

I just finished this book today and I thought it was so good! It was an intriguing story of mystery and a bit of perversion and right when I predicted the outcome it twists in an unexpected direction. I read it in 3 days. I couldn't set it down! Books like this make me love reading!

I'm excited for tomorrows book club meeting because I'm excited to find out what we're going to read next. [& I have a couple books to suggest that look really interesting]

w00t!

lookin out for #1

I'm going to get back into working out. I'm really sick of being bored all day and I think if I had some more exercise in my life I'd have a happier outlook on my life. Starting tomorrow I'm going to be taking a kick boxing class and a yoga class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'm excited but at the same time I'm dreading the kick boxing because I've taken this class before and its tough! But I think if I do it at least once a week and still go running 4 or 5 times a week I will be in better shape.

I'm setting goals for my future and hopefully I can get things figured out for myself. The first step is finding a job, if anyone has any ideas please let me know. Another is eating healthier and remembering to take my vitamins every day.

I really, really want to get this:

Alicia Silverstone is someone I've admired since I went vegan in 2003. She's done so much for vegans and the environment and its people like this that make me proud to be vegan. [and to be honest I've been lacking on the motivation to stay vegan] I was looking through this at the bookstore a few days ago and it looks like something that could really help me out with feeling better. My body aches and I've been so tired and irritable lately and I know its because I haven't been conscientious about getting the proper proteins and vitamins in my diet.

I feel like I've forgotten how to be artistic over the years. I was going through all my old art stuff and I really miss who I was when I was younger. I was so poetic and so creative and I just feel like an untalented old lady. I want to start writing again. I found about 5 old journals I used to keep that had a ton of old poems, songs, pictures and little drawings. I really miss how much comfort that gave me and I'm going to try and pick it up again.


All in all, I think the goals I've set for myself are definitely attainable and I'm going to do my darnedest to achieve them.

I really miss having a job. I want to go back to an office setting where I can wear cute outfits and high heels and type my little fingers away
all day long. I really miss doing that. I miss company Christmas parties and signing company Christmas cards and of course, I miss making good money. Serving/bar-tending was fun but I was CONSTANTLY anxious about weather I was going to make enough money to live.

This feels like such an endless search. I just want to find a job that I can rely on and enjoy. Is that too much to ask?

[Ok, ok, I know I'm not the best decorator... but I'm getting better.]

The party was so fun and not too out of control. I'm so happy that everyone came! I loved all the costumes! By the end of the night Ryan and I were so tired we went to bed before everyone left.

The whole thing was so much fun and I'm glad everyone had as much fun as us!
