So here's what's new with me.... I have been doing good with part of my New Year's Resolutions, I have not had Starbucks since 2008 - which is a huge major accomplishment for me! I have also been pretty good about not buying as much stuff, too. I have only bought a couple of books and some clothes, but I really haven't gone overboard. Well, I did buy a stove, but I have been wanting that for awhile and I did pay off my furniture, so I can justify it!
Here's my new thing that I am starting tomorrow. Oprah (my hero) has a challenge that she put out to her audience to not eat out for an entire month! I don't think that I even have ever gone a week without eating out. I am sure that the last time this happened was when I was still on the bottle!! So I went to the grocery store tonight and bought a bunch of stuff. I have a TON of food in my cupboards and I really never eat it! So I am trying this challenge and I will see how it goes. I am also guilty of throwing food away because it goes bad before I eat it (I can see my mom's face as she is reading this!). So I am going to eat the food that I bought - what a concept!
I just read an awesome book! I read Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult. It's her newest book. I just came out this past Tuesday. I finished it on Friday night. It was very good. It's about a little girl with Osteogenesis Imperfecta which is the brittle bone disease where bones break very easily. It was a good read and of course, she has a twist at the end. Now the next book that I am looking forward to is Jen Lancaster's new one, Pretty in Plaid. It's about her time in college when she was in a sorority, I think that I am going to really like this one. And the best part about it is that she is coming here for a book signing! I might even take the day off work to be there! I almost got to see her when I was in Chicago a couple years ago, but my mom and I had tickets to Wicked the same night that she was at Border's. So now, I will see her for sure!!
Until the next time...
