Bandwagon, me, jumping...

Finishing the Harry Potter series has left a gaping hole in my brain and my heart. I know, I have issues. I was very pleased with the ending and that is all I have to say about that. So, now for the bandwagon. With my need for a good book almost as overwhelming as my need for air and water, I have found myself searching for something to fill that gaping hole. Everywhere I turn I am hearing about the book Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. At least 3 of my friends are reading it and I've seen numerous blogs talking about it. So, I bought it and now I need to steal away some time for myself to really dig into it. I also need to clean off my nightstand. I have no less than 14 books on it right now: the entire Chronicals of Narnia series, all of the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov (some of my favorites. I never get tired of those!), Jesus the Christ by Talmage, The Sugar Addict's Total Recovery System by Kathleen DesMaisons Ph.D., and the list goes on and on.
Now to completely change the subject, I got an iPod Shuffle for my b-day. It's amazing what a difference really good music does when I'm working out. I cut 2 minutes of my mile time just by groovin' along. (Okay, for those really obervant people reading this, yes, I cut 2 whole minutes off my mile which means it was not a fast mile to begin with.) I love going to the gym. Those two hours for myself mean the difference between happy, smiling momma and cranky, grumpy momma. Now that school is back in session for Kaitlyn and Piper it will be easier to find the time to make it there on a regular basis. And, because I really feel like my blog needs a little sumpin' here is a completely random picture:

Me and Piper when she was just a little thing.
See ya!
