a lil' sumpin' sumpin'

If you're at all a fan of fiction, and like a good beach read -- this one's a winner by my vote. Seriously, I don't read often... and don't really feel like I'm missing much, most times (I do look for entertaining things to read, but rarely will something appeal to me).

Anyway, Jennifer Weiner (pronounced Wine-er, I'm sure) wrote a great book when she wrote 'Good in Bed.' Can't see how a woman wouldn't enjoy it. It's empowering and funny and makes you feel genuine emotion for a fictional character.

If you're looking for a fun read, pick it up. It's got a sequel, but I haven't read it yet. I'll let you know.

That's an excellent book! I love to read but it goes in spurts. I'll read one cover to cover then take 6 months off. I'm trying to get back into it.

Another fun author is Laurie Notaro. Her "Idiot Girls' Action Adventure Club" is a must.

She's got a new one out now, "Best Friends Forever" I think it's called.

I'll look up Laurie Notaro. =) Thanks for the share.

Someone busier than you is running right now.

I have a confession to make to my spark buddy, Melissa: I did not go for a run last night. I'm terrible, I know. Here's what else I know: 1. I have never made such great progress in getting into shape as I did when I was jogging regularly. 2. My knee starts to stay in a constant state of noticeable discomfort after I've jogged for over a week. 3. I miss the liberating feeling of running. 4. I miss the empowerment of cross-training (biking, swimming, running) So I've been perusing the intarwebz for motivational media this morning. And while I hate Nike for their shoddy work ethic, jacked up prices, and apparently tiny clothes, I love them for their motivational material. I just have yet to find any media more inspiring to me than the following advertisements. And ... "I am addicted. I've collected footsteps before dawn. Seen places I never knew existed. Run to the moon and back. Been a rabbit for the neighborhood dogs. Obeyed the voice in my head. Let music carr...

I am Doris.

Thank you Laura for the link. This was interesting. I could relate to more than one of the posed situations. Your result for Are You a Jackie or a Marilyn? Or Someone Else? Mad Men-era Female Icon Quiz... You Are a Doris! You are a Doris -- "I must help others." Dorises are warm, concerned, nurturing, and sensitive to other people's needs.

I used to ... I want to ... I will.

I used to write all the time. I used to ride my bicycle. I used to do better about working out. I wonder what happened. It's too late at night to really make a change now, but I'm making the vow to change tomorrow. My life will be full of bike rides and writing in no time.
