(no subject)
last night was fun. my stuffed shells and cake turned out really yummy. apparently i have tried to claim that i can't cook. it's not that i can't cook...it's just that i don't cook. i don't often like to cook. but i do love to entertain. i love to cook for big groups, i just don't like to cook for just me. it's annoying.
anyway. the kids had fun playing but we only got time to talk about one of the books. the other book (the book thief) was still too fresh for some of the members so they weren't ready to talk about it.
my bff gave me some amish friend bread a week or two ago and i ended up not making it because i didn't have the ingredients. so last night she brought me another starter bag for the bread and all the ingredients and loaf pans to be able to make this bread. she also brought me a can opener because mine really sucks! she rocks! except i don't know about her trying to force me to make this bread! lol! oh well...
i just finished the book "me talk pretty one day" by david sedaris. i enjoyed it. he has this sarcastic, dry way to his writing style and attitude and i definitely love that. i was laughing my ass off at one point. i only gave it 3 stars but now that i'm talking about it i think it needs at least one more star.
i am so behind on my book reviews. i should take a day and write a few.
today i am going to start "a tree grows in brooklyn" by betty smith. i have four weeks to read these next two book club books and they are thick this time so i'm going to get started early...just in case.
so even though i haven't been able to work out i've still lost one pound per week...which is good. that means, if otty comes home in early september like he wants, and i keep losing at least one pound each week, i will be able to lose another 18 pounds. so far i've lost 17 pounds. not as much as i would like but it's still something. i bought a dress in a smaller size and some shoes to go with it. i have the dress and shoes in a prominent spot in my room so i can look at it every time i go in my room. my goal is to wear that dress on my anniversary date when otty is home. i have a goal and i have a visual reminder of that goal. wish me luck! so far it's slow going...but it's still going.
okay. that's all i've got for now.
