Tuesday Ramblings

I am loving Cameron being in 1st grade! I still have almost 2 hours by myself until he gets home!

I finally went back to the gym today. I hadn't been in 2 months! I was going 5 days a week for a good 12 weeks and then I stopped because things kept coming up. However, I have made a vow to myself to go back so I did. My arms will be hurting me tomorrow!

Now that Cameron is in school longer I will have more time to do what I want to do on my days off. I plan on going to the gym right after I drop him off, come home to clean house and then READ. I am embarrassed to show this, but these are my bookshelves that are overflowing. There are few on my shelves that I have actually read. My bedside table has 2 scrapping books and 2 books that I am reading...Well, I am actually only reading one at the moment. I need another bookshelf since I have books in front of books here. I have this sick obsessionI have a large list of books that I wanted to read this year and so far I have strayed from it quite a bit.

You've read a ton of books! I'm like you, though. I have a ton of books on my bookshelves and my list to read but haven't had hardly any time to read any of them! I'm hoping to work on that soon!

So, have you liked all the books you've read so far??? I really like it when you post the books you've read and like...that is where I get MY list from!! THANKS!

You read a ton! I wish I was more like you in reading more. It just seems that things keep getting in the way. I have a ton of books that I buy and need to read. I gotta get crackin'! LOL!

Thanks for the list also. There are a few I want to read, but I was not sure if I would like it.

I'm pathetic! I cannot even remember the name of the last book I read. I cannot even remember the last time I actually read a book (other than my scriptures).

Sounds like you'll have a lot of free time to do your reading with Cameron in school all day now! Have fun!

Wow thats a lot of books. I never seem to have time to read. Well thats totally not so but I tend to do other things that keep me from reading.

Hey Stacy...that's one list of books you've got there. I've been on an audio book kick lately...listening in my scrap room mainly. I get tons done and still get a book "read" too. LOVE IT!!!

Oh, and great job on getting back to the gym. My kids started school last week and I had planned to go right to the gym after dropping Emily off. That hasn't happened just yet. All the first week of school stuff got in the way.

Keep up the great work!!
