I usually wait until mid to late January before posting my reading plans or goals. Mainly because I'm very optimistic about my superhuman capabilities during the start of a new year but much of that enthusiasm fades over the next couple of weeks. I tend to believe I can read more than ever but reality is usually closer to how much I averaged in previous years. So, to allow myself the opportunity to dream big and then plan well, I take the ambitious goals for a road test during the first couple of weeks of the year. If they still look achievable, great! If not, I will part ways with those that are a stretch. The numbers I have an arbitrary number set in Goodreads for this year but it's not a number I will quote as I tend to change it often and it is intended to factor in the many picture books I read with my kids. But that said, there are three numbers I would like to improve this year (last year's stats in parentheses) - total number of pages read (approx. 11k), average n
As the title says, I just got my new car! *drumroll please* It's a white 2007 Honda Accord, and I'm just relishing driving the huge sedan! I don't have any pictures yet, so I'll let you google if you wish. ;-)
So, my last week was spent almost entirely on finishing the car business - you know, the loans and the paperwork, and the insurance, etc. And after getting the car - inspection, registration, etc. And the malls for a fun ride. LOL! You can see I am excited, because this is my first car, so it feels great!
I had a hectic week basically. Today's my only weekend - but hopefully this means my very busy days are over.
As I said last week, I'm doing the Game On! Diet, which isn't going too well for me, because I've always thought my diet was healthy - and I even lost weight with that. But now, I'm expected to tighten it further? I somehow don't see myself succeeding in that, but like I said, I'll use this as an opportunity to get to know my meals even more intimately. Other than that, the game is going decent - not excellent, because I get lazy every once in a while.
Off to read some book now - Happy reading and happy blogging!

Juju, lol, I'll post one soon as I take one.
Jude, thank you so much!
Ash, it feels so great to have a car finally!
Please don't say you won't succeed that is totally accepting failure, optimism babe.
