Wow, it has been months since I have blogged on here. I am going to try to keep up better from now on.
I spent 3 1/2 weeks on the Atkin's diet and lost about 12 pounds but after feeling like crap for the entire last week, I am off of it now. DH and I are going to work at eating healthier and smarter and I am going to try to find some exercise that I can do without causing lots of hip pain.
Let's see...reading...I have read several great books lately. I finished The Codex by Douglas Preston last week. It was a great book, lots of action and adventure in the South American rain forest. It is the story of 3 brothers who return home at their father's summons to discover him and his half billion dollar treasure gone and a cryptic video left for them from him telling the brothers that he is dying from pancreatic cancer and has taken their inheritance and has hidden it in a tomb along with himself and that in order for them to claim it they must figure out where he is. They all begin their search separately but they do ultimately reunite to find him. There are twists and turns in the story and lots of action and adventure. I really loved it.
I read an old novel from the 1980's over the weekend, it was called Morning Glory and was written by 2 publishing house editors who collaberated on it and used the pen name Julia Cleaver Smith. It was the only novel they wrote together. It was lot's of fluff and chick lit, reminded me a lot of the old Dallas and Dynasty primetime soaps. It was about a wealthy Texas family which was presided over by a matriarch who ran a media empire and her families lives also. It spans over 70 years in the lives of the family. It was a fun read, not much to exercise the intellect but lots of gossip and gratuitious sex :) .
I started She Walks These Hills by Sharyn McCrumb last night. I love her books, she is a wonderful storyteller. I will report on how the book was as soon as I finish it.
Well, I guess I better blog off for now and go catch a quick nap before I have to get ready for work tonight.
Here is wishing you a glorious and blessed day.
