Reading at LAST!

Reading at last! I finished The Red Tent by Anita Diamant and Persuasion by Jane Austen. Loved them both. The links provide the story background if you are interested, but suffice to say that for me The Red Tent was very thought-provoking for a girl who grew up in the church, and Austen, well, is lovely...and Persuasion worth reading just for Wentworth's letter towards the end of the story.

I have made inroads on a few other items as well...#9, #11, and #14 are all in the works. I have inquired about the watercolor class (which I can hopefully take in March), plan to start going to yoga tomorrow (!) and have the movie here at the house (thanks, Netflix) which I plan to watch this week! And I have started reading The Beauty Myth, which is already taxing my brain, but is very interesting so far. That one might take me a while to plow through.

I do have to confess that I missed January's breast self-exam. It is one of those things I keep thinking 'I need to do it, I need to do it'....and then time has passed and I haven't done it! Ack! So I will have to either A) add one in there when the months are longer, or B) add a month on to the end of my countdown. But obviously the goal is to get into the habit so that I am doing it beyond the countdown timeframe...duh. Anyway. So I've confessed my failure on that particular item, but I am determined to get February's done!!!! (I have seven more days, right?)

Have a good week!
