My bedroom closet/computer area (yes, my ‘puter is in my closet) is first. I already have 2 bags to go to goodwill, and am readying to list multiple items on craigslist. The closet will be done after the back to school sales are done and I can pick up some baskets and racks to organize the upper shelves. Then it will be on to the kitchen cabinets…

Hmmmm. I like even numbers. And I like even dates. So I am going to retroactively start this for August 1st, 2008. So, I already have one book done.
1: On Chesil Beach – Ian McEwan
What I like about reading is that by reading a book, you can develop an interest for the author’s other books. Case in point, I’m adding Atonement by Ian McEwan to my list of books I want to read.
Also, looking at this goal I realize now it may be a lofty goal as 50 books per year equates to about one a week. But I want to try….
Many of my goals rest on this goal. Horseback riding lessons, swimming with dolphins, going on a cruise, climbing a mountain, having a second child…all depend on me being healthy. I think this is the realization for me that I need to do this now, and I need to start today. Much of my life is on hold until I lose some/all of this weight.
