Thinking, feeling and such 7.29

Thinking about:  Indoor Cycling tomorrow.  Last Thursday was a great class.  I am upset I have to miss this weeks Thursday class but I am going Wednesday or Friday morning instead. Still disappointing, the Thursday instructor was awesome.

Feeling:  Pretty awesome.  I had  great birthday (that I will blog about later), and am feeling really content and thankful for my life.

Watching: Pretty Little Liars .  I am mostly embarrassed to admit it.  I am almost through the first season, so no spoilers!  It's good fluff, and not as heavy as Greys anatomy.

Reading: Dead Weight the second book in the Lizzy Gardner series.  It was an enjoyable read for the most part.  One of the storylines was....awkward.  I am hoping they drop it in the third book.

Looking forward to:  Wolves of Midwinter .  Anne Rice has been pimping it pretty hard on her facebook.  Every time she talks about it I almost go out to Amazon to buy it and then I remember that it doesn't come out until October .

Making me happy:  The Afghan my mom made me.  She had me pick one out of a book like 15 years ago.  I picked the hardest one.  15 years later she gave it to me for my birthday.  It's beautiful and it's a perfect summer, air conditioning cover up.

Thanks again to Lindsay @ Running with Tongs  for the inspiration.

Lunch In The Park

We love our local parks.  We use the trails for dog walks, geo caching and bike rides.  We go there occasionally for breakfast lunch and dinner.  We really enjoy being out by the water, the trees and fresh air.  Bella likes it because she gets new smells and can claim new fiefdoms. Here is last Sunday's trip.

Rita Moreno

SOURCE

I walked by this in Half Price books.  I read the back, looked at the price and walked away.  I tend to only buy from the clearance rack.  I got to the clearance section and thought, "I wonder if anyone has picked it up yet."  I picked out three books and wandered over to the religion section.  " There was only one copy, maybe I should look at it again."  I wandered back over to the book.  That's when I heard they were having their 20% off sale.  I picked it up.  

I read it in one day.

Her life was intense and she wrote about it beautifully.  I couldn't wait to see what her next struggle and conquest would be.  I couldn't wait to see the rest of her story.  I loved the inside look into Hollywood and familiar names.  

I do have a warning.  If you pick up this book, you will fall in love with her, and her story.

5/5

Thinking, Feeling and Such 5.27.13

Thinking about:  Starting the calorie counting thing again today.  It was suppose to happen last Monday, but I just couldn't do it. 

Feeling: Lots. On Friday the numbness that I had been happily living in for two weeks wore off.  Now I have to actually deal with my feelings.  Blah. 

Watching:   Greys Anatomy from the beginning.  I've watched Grey's since the beginning and I thought it would be fun to start over.  I've never watched reruns so this is the first time I've seem some of these episodes in 9 years.  I am really enjoying it.  Again.  :)

Reading: I read " Rita Moreno A Memoir" in one day.  Yesterday to be precise.  She is impressive, intriguing, and inspiring.  ( yes I realized I used all I words there).  I'll try to get a review up later this week.  Loved it.  Highly suggest it.

Looking forward to: My Nieces first birthday party.  I haven't seen her in person for months.  And buying baby clothes!  

Making me happy: Pandora.  I realize I am really, really late on this.  I am listening at home and work, and having a great time.  My two favorite channels are The Goo Goo Dolls and Les Miserables.

Thanks again to Lindsay @ Running with Tongs  for the inspiration.

Sunday Snapshot 5.26.13

Saturday night Snapshot today.

My husband is working at a different building a few days a week now.  That means a new parking garage and getting to see another part of the city.  The fun thing about the new parking garage is it over looks a little park, and has a great city view all around it.  My parking garage view isn't half as interesting.  I did not take photos of the other two sides, but it's definitely on my to do list.  The other fun thing ( for me at least) about this view of the city is I can't see my building from it.  I work in a very tall building, and being downtown usually means work is looming over me.  I also want to go back when the carousel is open.  Because whats not fun about a carousel?

Thanks to Nihaoyall for hosting Sunday snapshot! I am having a lot of fun exploring other blogs.
