The march goes on

I am need to think of a more creative way to update my 101 in 1001 journey. But for now...here is the update. This week, there really isn't much to update.


- didn't lose any weight this week. It may have had to do with the chocolate, shortcake and alcohol consumed this week...maybe!

- read like a machine. Finished Thornton Wilder's "The Bridge of San Luis Rey", read "The Audacity of Hope" by my bf Barack Obama and "Beloved" by Toni Morrison. I am now reading "Saturday" by Ian MacEwan (same author that wrote "Atonement" which is in theatres right now).

- finished memorizing the St. Francis prayer. so hard to live that but it is amazing how often the prayer comes to mind when life is not really going my way.

- My Lent practise of no complaining is a struggle and I forget. Complaining is so much part of our cultural communication. It is a difficult thing to not do. I suppose the awareness is the important thing. Next Lent, I am just going to give up chocolate or alcohol or something easier.

- I re-painted my bedroom. My regular blog will have pictures once I figure out art for the walls and pillows for the bed.

- Tuesday is registration day for Melissa's Road Race...hopefully I can get in.

- The habitual practises on my list are a work in progress...biting nails, recycling, working out.

Well, 985 days to go. Goodbye until next week.
