Keeping busy

I am here! I haven't been far.....just been keeping myself busy with work and reading and going to bed early! (yes...sleep is good when stressed)

The month after Christmas and new years...up until my birthday and valentines day is hard for me....it's cold and dark and I just don't care for it. Guess that is why I have been so introvert.

I finally took a break from working on the weekends and actually relaxed this weekend....or at least what I call relaxed.

Here's what I have been keeping busy with...

Nightlight: a parody -By The Harvard Lampoon Apparently there have been spoof books around for a while and someone failed to mention it to me. LOL...in any case...I have read a little of it and I am still on the fence on whether I like it or not.

In Defense Of Food: an eater's manifesto -By Michael Pollan He has several good titles....I am actually enjoying it alot!! it's making me think!!

The Lovely Bones -By Alice Sebold I read chapter one and it was amazing!! I know when I pick it back up I need to have more time on my hands than 30 minutes. I know wont be able to put it down once I start.


The Happiness Project: Or, Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun -By Gretchen Rubin ok....this is really where my head has been the most...I love this book...I admit that I am following it and working on my own project. I'll keep ya posted...I think it a great thing!!!

I am going to try and get my head out of the books today long enough to create a cute garland for valentines day. I was in Michael's on Friday and picked up a K & Company kit! Picture coming as soon as it is complete.

DO {2010}

So for the past few years I have been choosing a word, just one, following AE's idea. I keep this word posted in a poignant place that I see daily as a reminder of the things I am working towards.

I have chose DO for 2010...it seriously just came to me this morning and I really think it is a perfect fit!

My goals for this year....

DO something CREATIVE everyday!
DO something for us everyday!
DO something healthy everyday!

Choosing my one little word has worked very well for me the past few years and it is something that has helped me greatly!
