So far this summer, I have...
1. ...read books I had put in my procrastination pile. I made a list of all the ones I have read and the ones I want to read. When summer is over, I'm going to do a book review type blog. I have already started!
So far, this is my list:
Angels and Demons – Dan Brown (done read it)
My Sister’s Keeper – Jodi Picoult (been there, read that)
Goodnight Nobody – Jennifer Weiner (sooo last week)
House of Sand and Fog – Andre Dubus (reading now)
The Bluest Eye - Toni Morrison (reading now)
Jesus Camp – Julia Scheeres (on deck)
Eat, Pray, Love – Elizabeth Gilbert (in the hole)
The Time Traveler's Wife - Audrey Niffenegger (will read when the library gets it in)
Any suggestions?
2. ...watched a ridiculous amount of reality television. Mindless? Yes. Can't wait for the next episodes? Ohh yesss....
Highlights:
Weird foot fetish guy on The Bachelorette, Tanner P. really digs a girl with straight toes painted with Mango Mango nail polish. I am not making this up, people!
Sebastian's hair on NYC Prep...
This hair should be listed as a character on its own. Every time he flips his hair, God kills a baby kitten.
Finally, the Real Housewives of New Jersey kept me laughing the whole time. Favorite cast member: Jaqueline, of course. I think she is my New Jersey counterpart, with much bigger boobs.
3. ...worked out more than usual. I am most proud of myself for discovering group exercise classes at the gym that don't make me want to run screaming in the other direction. For the past two weeks (and I guess a half week now), I have worked out/done something athletic from Monday through Saturday. I am trying to vary what I'm doing so that I don't get bored or burnt out. So far, I have tried step (love), body pump (also love), walking, elliptical, and stair stepper. One day, I am going to work up the courage to go to yoga and not be awkward. One of these days!
