I love the smell of books...

I realized that love the smell of books today. Even the old and musty ones. Books make me happy and the smell of them brings back nice memories. Does anyone else feel that way?

I realized this a little while ago when I was laying in a warm bath reading The Guardian by Nicholas Sparks. I finished The Rescue this morning. Yes, I cried a little.

Today we woke up...I made french toast...we went to Target...and the Dollar Tree. Then we went back to that garden and green house (The Reynolda House Gardens) that we went to a few months ago with my parents and Flat Stanley. Holli wanted to take pictures of flowers. It was a really nice day for it. That place was crawling with Grandma's.

When we got home Jesse and I watched a movie called The Brave One. It has Jodi Foster and Terrence Howard in it. I really like him...and I think he's attractive. It was a good movie. Neither of us had even heard of the movie before.

After that I worked out, doing weights until my legs, abs, and arms were jello. After that is when I took a bath and read that book.

It was a pretty relaxing day....I hope tomorrow is the same.

beautiful day!

The weather was wonderful today....

I went to Cracker Barrel this morning at 9...and I got cut around noon. I told them that I would go home because it was really slow and I wasn't making any money. I only sold 96 dollars worth of food today...and I made 20 bucks.

After work I stopped at the grocery store to get some milk. Then I came home and took a little nap.

When I woke up I decided that I would do my yoga video...and then I took a long bath. I am almost finished with The Rescue, by Nicholas Sparks.

Jesse went to go play basketball with Lester and they were gone for a long time. While they were gone I cooked "Angel Chicken Pasta" Its a recipe that I haven't made for a long time. I thought it was pretty good, with mushrooms, cream cheese, and angel hair pasta. We also had salads.

After dinner we went upstairs and hung out with Holli and Lester a bit. Tomorrow I think we are gonna go shopping.

Jessrbowen...I don't think I've lost any weight really. Maybe a little. Its kinda depressing. I'm just hoping that if I keep it up eventually I'll get it all toned up. At this point, I'm not really willing to change my diet all that much (although I have been doing better)...so it may take awhile.

When you realize how many calories you burn by running a mile, it makes it harder to eat unnecessary empty calories...so I guess I have changed my diet a little.

Mostly I run because I love the way it makes me feel. I'm so glad I have time to do it now.

just watched 27 Dresses...

and it was really cute. I liked it a lot.





Holli and Lester just left a few minutes ago. They brought Blackberry Cobbler and ice cream....yummmm!





Today I worked at Cracker Barrel. When I got there it was really strange because I saw my name on the floorplan, but when I tried to clock in, the computer system said that I wasn't scheduled. What the heck? haha... I think they suspected that I might call in again, or just never come back!! hahaha....... I was in the smoking section too. They must love me. (<---sarcasm)Then when next week's schedules came out, I was only scheduled 2 days!





oh well, I'll just get to sub more! YAY!! I love subbing! I get paid to sit and read books and magazines. :)



I ran on the treadmill today. I walked a half mile..and then I ran (at 6.0 mph) for 3.5 miles straight w/o stopping!! yay! I think that's my new record. I don't ever remember running that much before. I think it took me about 43 minutes to go 4 miles. That's an average of 5.58 mph.





OK, so I know that everyone may not be interested in my exercise routine and stuff...but I like to keep a record of it..and seriously, I consider my blog to be a diary of my life anywho. So really...its all for me. I just let you read it.
