2 more down



Just finished this book over the weekend and am very glad that I have read it. As I said before it is a great program to get you on the track to having a clean and decluttered home.



and just now finished this book its a YA 9-13 yr. old read but its cute cover caught my eye at Barnes&Noble and I knew I had to read it. Thats right I do judge some books by their cover lol. Sometimes its fun to read YA books (twilight... harry potter.. sisterhood of the traveling pants, etc..) I usually only read more science fiction type ones but I cannot resist tea themed things especially since my re-ignited extreme love of tea. Oh and YA books are really easy to read, I mean not to brag or anything but I read this in 4 days and with my goal of 100 books this year which is daunting I need a few books like this on my list.

xoxo...

p.s. I do have a list of all the books I am planning to read this year but I have added and subtracted here and there to include books I see or hear about and want to add, like in the case of The Teashop Girls. There are actually 10 categories, 10 books in each category. This is called 10/10/10 or 10 categories, 10 books, in 2010. I will put up the list in my next post.

reading count 4 out of 100, 96 to go, 2 in progress

a request

for blogging eh.. I really can't stand that I can't even come close to keeping up with doing this at least weekly but hey monthly is a little better. I must admit I'm one for excuses, which I can't stand and am constantly working on this issue so I won't give you any excuse for why I can't do this. A lot has been on my mind and plate lately..(and yes that could possibly be an excuse) This might just end up being a post of complete ramblings just to warn you.


things I have been doing and thinking about

-I've been getting a bit more sassy about my feelings about certain things, which is not right because its just me being impatient with people.
-work is still not exactly easy for me. I am better but I wish I could have progressed more than I have at this point and I basically feel like I've hit a wall. I had one day where I was on fire and it was awesome!
-cleaning is an up point for me right now at least. I re-created routines (I had ones for my moms old house but needed new ones for our apt.) and have almost finished reading Sink Reflections by Marla Cilley, I already followed her online program called Flylady. It is the best cleaning and de-cluttering plan out there because anyone can do it not just SAHMs but working ones too.
-however of course when cleaning goes up cooking goes down but now getting back to it again too. Hopefully soon I will start posting some pics and recipes for my own creations and new recipes I try.
-I started taking vitamins and am very excited about it lol only because I've actually remembered to take them and haven't despised it like I used too. Plus they have made my face gorgeously smooth ;) I have a skin condition that makes my skin sorta bumpy(that sounds like I'm a freak) and it has greatly improved sadly not on my arms though.
-Also good news I'm actually eating breakfast regularly. This normally consists of flavored yogurt and peanut butter toast. Oh and I switched from my normal coffee to tea. I get enough coffee at work, usually half-caf though.
-Something strange that I love.. taking Bart to see my mom I get so much reading accomplished on there and feel so relaxed I love it.
-I bought a new workout dvd (denise austins yoga body burn) and have done it the past 2 days. Its extremely calming and body toning at the same time definitely what I need right now in a workout.
-Bought our tickets for Resolved this year. We are officially in! :)
