I am a dork
Today I got two books. Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants, and the second book in that series, which I don't remember the name, but if you went to the bookstore it would be the purple book right beside the first book in the series:) I already can't put it down it is such a good book. It is funny, but whenever I get into a book like that I get so excited my stomach starts churning and I have to put it down or I can't concentrate... I know that is totally retarded. I found a journal there that I want really bad. It is $24.00 I know that it is expensive, but I really, really want it. Chris says that it is too expensive and I understand, but I have always loved having a journal. I threw away all of the ones that I had before I was married because I was too afraid someone would find them and read them, but this one was so beautiful... I am almost tempted to ask my sister if I can borrow the money from her so that I can buy it... It was funny when I asked the bookstore clerk where those books were she kind of looked at me for a second and then told me that they were in the teenagers section. I had to laugh. I told her that I love reading books that are too young for me:)
Funny Story: (although slightly embarassing)
I was helping a gentlemen at work the otherday to find some stuff for his coffee. We didn't have it, but I told him that Findlay used to carry it and if he wanted I could give him there phone number and he could call and see if they still carried it... He pulls out a business card and I think that he is giving me his phone number so that I can call him from the store and just call him and let him know if they still have it. I read the card and this is what it says... "Are you tired, depressed, overweight? We can help!!" and then it has a 1-800 number and a website you can call or go to to sign up for their supplements... My jaw probably dropped ten feet and I had to stop myself from laughing!!! I couldn't believe anyone would have the guts to give that type of card to a stranger... He looked at me and with the utmost sincerity and says "If we can do anything for you, give me a call.." I told my boss and Chris, Chris was so mad. He asked me why I didn't hand the card back and tell him to give it to someone who needs it. My boss told me that she would have seriously cussed at the guy and given him the finger, I quess I just couldn't stop trying to laugh. I thought it was hilareous... Speaking of weight though I have been trying to get fit for my best friends wedding. (You know how nobody wants to be the fat bridesmaid.) So far so good. I have lost 10 lbs, but this week I couldn't seem to lose anymore. I am not going to get discouraged though. I know that you always can't tell right away, but eventually you'll be able to notice. I go to the YMCA either 4-5 days a week and do weights at least three of those days. I already feel so much better. (stronger and more energetic) Maybe that is why I could laugh about what that guy did... Thank God he gave it to me and not to someone else...:) Write more later:)

Oh Melody. Thanks for looking at the situation with humor. It sure helps seeing the world that way. Congrats on the 10 lbs. I wish that Daniel and I were as disciplined as you on working out. We are sorely out of shape.
Hey, I just watched Take the Lead too and also loved it!
