March Madness UPDATE*****

So still no word on if Rob got the Academy job or not. Patience is a virtue I hear, Not sure I have none. LOL!!

So my "To be read list" grew quite a bit in the past week. Last weekend was the annual Jacksonville Library book sale. I went 2 different days. On Saturday Rob and I walked out of there with 66 books for a total cost of 75 bucks. On Sunday it was fill a brown grocery bag for 10 bucks. Being the uber Navy Wife packer that I am, ( THANKS MOM!!!!!), I packed about 26 to 30 books in there. Yes Paperback and hardback. More hardbacks though. Not only were they selling old library books, but donated books as well. I got recently published hardbacks in awesome condition. Paperbacks were 50 cents, Fiction HB's were $1.00, and all other HB's were 2 bucks. Yes I will take a picture of my loot and post it. Man are our packers going to hate us when they come to pack us out. I will now have plenty to read for over the next year. There is no way I could read all of those books by December 31st. Well maybe if I did not have a job, and there was no internet. Hey if we move, reading more could be a possibility. I did read the Twilight series in a month. I also read some of the thicker Harry Potter books in a week. Let me clarify. it took me a week to read each one. I still need to read book 7. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm  ADD kicking in again, LOL!!!!!!!!!!

In other updates, still no time to bond with my Wii Fit. My job really does get in the way of my own personal growth and development. LOL!!!!!! I have been walking the dogs on the really pretty days.
NOTE TO SELF: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WALK BOTH AT THE SAME TIME ALONE!!!!!!!!!They are too much for 1 person to do alone. Especially little tiny me.

Well I am going to Savannah this Saturday, hopefully get to do some sightseeing. Maybe learn a little more about the city. I love Savannah. Next week Joy will be here and I know that we will go somewhere and learn something new.

March Madness of learning

Another month, time for new learning. I have not decided what new task to take on. Maybe I will work on multi tasking better. The past few months I have taken on too much. So I am not accomplishing much. I am going to keep plugging away on my to be read list. Less face book time, more reading. Now I do like to read fiction. Fiction and Literature is my fav!!!!!!!  At some point I will start working out again. My Wii fit has been lonely the past month. LOL!!!!!  I am still eating better. I feel better now that I am making such a huge effort to eat better. It is getting easier every day. I don't even think about it now. I do suggest reading "EAT THIS NOT THAT". Any of those books are a very helpful tool in eating better. Not only will you be eating better using those books but it could help you lose some pounds. Win WIN situation for all. My husband Rob has been using them and has lost a few pounds. It is wonderful to see him eating better. That makes me happy. Happy, Happy wife!!!!!
Tomorrow is the announcement of who got the job at the Naval Academy. But it could be Monday before Rob hears he got the job or not. So hey we might be moving to Maryland but then we might not.

1 Month of learning summed up

Well it is the beginning of March. A month ago I set out to tackle a new learning experience.
I chose to read "MOMMYWOOD" by Tori Spelling. It was a very interesting read. It really let you see a side of her that is NORMAL!!!!!!! She just wants to be a normal mom. It was very comical to read some of the hilarious things that happens to mothers. She did not know what to do when her son pooped in his diaper and it went in the pool. How does a Hollywood starlet handle that? How does a normal mom handle that? LOL!!!!!!!! I got somewhat of an insight into the horrible relationship between Tori and her mother. I really need to read her first book. Coming from an abusive, messed up home I can so relate to a crazy childhood.

My workout habit has still not gotten back on track. Let's move that to a task for March, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The coffee table is really heavy, I cannot move it by myself. I am finally feeling better. A month of fighting sinus crap and then food poisoning.

My "TO BE READ" list got 2 books removed from it. Whoo hoo. I accomplished something. I read my Mommywood book and I read a vampire book on my shelf. If I spent less time on Facebook and watching the olympics, I might actually have time to read more. I have read a Harry Potter book in a week.

Eating better - I am still learning about eating better. I have been eating better. I now read labels, compare, and I make it a point to buy healthy foods at the grocery store. I find myself starving though. I am eating better, but I need more calories. We all know I am not fat. Far from it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


So what did you learn this month?
