Read the Entire Pendragon series (to date)
ahhh 1 month ago

my friend got me hooked, and I will never forgive him. j/k I really like the books, but the local library system has them scattered throughout town so I have to go all over to get the next one (or few) in the series.
So far, I’ve read the first two and just checked out three through five to hopefully read this week.


Hone my curves (read all 3 entries…)
bad habits 1 month ago

1) a tendency to cater to anyone other than myself (who is important in my life. I think most women do this, actually. Living with my young niece and nephew while my sister and her husband both work several jobs and I only work one, I have a tendency to take on caring for the children (whom I love dearly) when I should take care of myself. I put my sister’s sleep ahead of my own and let her get some rest while I attempt to entertain the kids and keep the older one from loving the younger to death (she’s two and has a tendency to smother her 3-month-old brother in hugs).
2) When I feel I have a break and can do what I want, I tend to indulge myself. Not in food, for I don’t have the money to buy anything truly decadent and refuse to pay for anything second-rate. No, I lie down and read for hours on end. I could go to the gym and work out some and then come home and read, but I feel as though I deserve to pamper myself and do so through resting and immediate pleasure, not the slow gratification of getting back in shape. Even knowing this doesn’t help when the time comes to choose which to do. =/

A LOT of reading this week! =) 1 month ago

Since Saturday (today being Tuesday) I’ve read:
the first 2 books in the Pendragon series by D.J. MacHale (very good teen sci-fi series)
The True Meaning of Cleavage
The Exploits of a Reluctant (but extremely good-looking) Hero
some other random book from the library I don’t remember
1/2 of Twilight (OMG! It is amazing! I can’t wait until I have time to finish reading it and continue the series!)


See all entries ...
