...and I'm posting again! This won't be a long post as I'm rushing my lunch hour so I can get stuff done before going to class. I enjoyed the Nora Roberts movies on Lifetime this month. (Thanks Val!) Yes I agree they aren't as good as the books but think about it, it takes 1-3 days to read one of her books but the movie has to be less than 2 hours. Something has to change.
March will be a busy month as I will spend a week at Leadership Academy so I can learn how to be an effective leader in the library world and I am also attending the Spring Institute for youth services. Add in my school work, regular work, house work and unexpected work and I don't know where I find the time to read but I seem to get it done. Latest good reads were Jane Heller's Some Nerve, and a teen book by David Lubar, Sleeping Freshman Never Lie. Lubar will be at Spring Institute as his book won the MI Thumbs Up award from the Teen Services Division of MLA. He is a very funny author.
Diet has been very bad lately. I have been binging (but not purging) and can't seem to get back on track. I'll have a couple of good days and then bam it's back to junk food and chocolate. I'm still working out at the gym regularly and hope that will help me maintain.
Gotta go. Board meeting tonight & everything has to be ready before I leave in 1 1/2 hours.

It's me again...
...and it hasn't been very long, has it? It is a boring Tuesday and the weather is sub-zero so the smart people are staying home. I still have to go to class tonight so I'm trying to prep myself up in preparation for that trip.
I've been going through a rough emotional/hormonal couple of weeks and I'm needing to get back on my diet plan and stop snacking. I'm working out about 4 times a week now and feeling good but it's still not enough to counter all the snack foods I've been mowing down. Kickboxing class has been fun and the pool class is one I plan on returning to.
Nora Roberts is having a series of movies from her books on Lifetime this month. I'm fortunate enough to have a great neighbor who will TiVo them for me and then I can visit and watch them. I really liked her newest suspense "Angels Fall" which was the first one they showed on Lifetime.
Employment needs are still evident in our family as 2 brothers-in-law are looking for fulltime jobs with benefits. One of the drawbacks of having a family and kids is that things like insurance become a necessity. Of course it is easier to get State or Federal coverage when you have kids too.
Well, I need to get back to work now so I'll try to post again later!

Wow, can't believe it's been so long...
...since I remembered to post here. Life has been busy but good. Enjoyed Christmas with family and Thanksgiving with friends. Work has had it's ups and downs with continued delays in construction plans but we have started taking baby steps towards our ground breaking.
I have been in a reading slump lately. I have found that I can't read for pleasure and stay on my diet at the same time. I think the idleness of sitting and reading triggers my munching gene. I have been reading some diet and health books and my current one is "You on a Diet: the owners manual for waist management". It's pretty big and gets into a lot of science and biology so the reading is going pretty slow. Jayne Anne Krentz has a new book out "White Lies" that I am anxious to read.
Jeanette and family are now in their new home and the sale on their house in TN should finalize this week! (Pray that closing cost will be lower than estimated.) They still haven't found any full time work but they both have pretty steady part-time jobs right now.
I have started my last class for my MLIS degree. Come mid-April I can claim the title of a real Librarian. (Think I can meet Noah Wylie then?) My class is research and I will have to do a research proposal but fortunately will not have to preform the actual research.
I can't promise to stay on top of my blogging since I have joined a free online weight loss site (www.sparkpeople.com) and spend a lot of my free online time there.

I'm soooo tired....
...I don't know what to write. It has been a hectic day. Of 5 staff members, I was on time, 1 was late, 1 was gone 1/2 day for appointment, and the last 2 called in and took the day off. I've been on my feet most of the day and still have to go to the gym tonight.
I have played around with 5 pounds for 3 weeks now. Gain then losing then gaining it again. I have been binging on greasy, salty or sweet foods and have not been tracking my calorie intake. I find it interesting that during the time I'm struggling to get back on track is the time everyone starts noticing and mentioning that I've lost weight. I have noticed the change in my clothes fitting but since it has taken me a whole year to lose the 50 lbs. I guess I don't see the physical change as much. I did get a picture from last Christmas to try to compare and I can tell a diference in my face so I guess it is showing.
Well the work day is almost over. The gym is calling. Oh by the way I have finished my class for this semester and am done until January 9th when I start my last class!!!! Christmas program is next Sunday and once that is over I shall have a stress free Christmas.
