What am I doing you may ask...? I took a class that was 6 months long and it was all about personal strength. I had really good timing when I took it because the last 3 months of it I was going through a divorce. Had I not taken this class or the classes previous to this one I may have never taken that step to change my life. My first 2 pictures are of me breaking my board with my hand, really cool feeling if you have never done it. The last pictures are of me walking over hot coals. We built up the fire first and then let it die down to just coals. I know it doesn't look like they are hot but don't let the color fool you, had it been night time those coals when have been blazing orange. Even after an hour of us walking across the coals they were still hot as we poured water over to cool it off. This was an amazing experience, something that I would like to do again!

New Pictures...actually they are old!












I finally got my old computer up and working again and found some old pictures of me on it. I hardly look like the same person anymore. Take a look and tell me what you think! I was so much fatter, but at least I had boobs...I guess its really a toss up. If I put on weight I get boobs but I don't like the way that I look (expect for the boobs exception, I do like that) and then when I get skinny I look good but don't have the boobs. What to do, what to do.....man, if that were the hardest question in my life wouldn't life seem easy! Even though I am chunky in my pictures I still like them!

Stephenie Meyer Books....




I started reading "Twilight" after my neice recommended it to me to read. I had "Twilight" for almost a month before I took it out to read it. She had told me briefly what is was about and I was very skeptical that it would be as good as she raved. I have to say that I am glad that I put off reading it for so long because now I don't have to wait for so long for the release of the third novel, "Eclipse" to be released. I read "Twilight" in a day and a half, only because I had to sleep and my child did need me. After I finished "Twilight" I bought "New Moon" and read that in less than 24 hours (I did skip a major part of the book and finished but went back and re-read the entire book, if you read the books you will understand why I skipped the middle section). I have now read "New Moon" twice and am working on finishing "Twilight" for the second time. I can't wait for the release of "Eclipse" on August 7th and will somehow have to find a way to survive while waiting for book 4 "Midnight Sun" to be released sometime Fall 08'. I hesitate to say what the book is about for fear that you will not want to read it. I actually forgot what she had said about it, I only remembered that it was a romance, somthing that I wouldn't want to put down, a thriller....and not remembering the most important part of what she said is what caught be by surprise. The book is a young adult romance, it will keep you guessing, you will be thrilled and you will not want to put it down. You will get wrapped up in the emotions and you will picture yourself as the main character in the book. My whole family is wrapped up in the books, we have discussions and arguments, we speculate about the next books, we discuss what we want to have happen next. My neice Dawn is friends with the author which I hope will possibly get us some insight about what is to come, although I doubt she will indulge our curious minds. The author's website is fun, she inculdes deleted sections from the books and adds things that you would otherwise not know about. I hope that you find the idea of these books appealing and decide to read them. I know you will enjoy them but beware, they are addicting! Its like crack, you can't put it down!
