If you love something, set it free; if it comes back it's yours, if it doesn't, it never was.

Many of us are avid readers of romance: historical, contemporary, intrigue, erotic, fun loving, and if we read enough of them, we often feel we have the capacity and wherewithal to actual write a romance.

How many of you have submitted MS with this history?

 

Ok, so I'm perusing all my old blog posts on here.  Wow.  Wake-up call.

Do you ever feel like you're chasing your own tail?  That's how I feel right now.  I'm not moving forward, I'm just running in circles!  And the running is wearing me out!  I suppose it wouldn't feel as bad if I could see the forward movement, but it isn't there.

Has anyone run up against this yet? I'm eating a well-balanced diet and staying in the calorie range,
but I can't get enough protein in. The carbs seem to be double than my protein count.

If I eat an orange it's 18 carbs
If I eat a sweet potato its 37 carbs

I'm making this call to all the authors who may read this. Interfering and/or matchmaking best friends and family are driving me into a major slump, my current pet hates are interfering best friends and arrogant "I know better than you what you want" heroes

This is a picture of my Zumba class (I'm WAY in the back on the far right) and for those of you who haven't heard of Zumba, let me just say it's a blast, a killer workout and the added benefit of burning off between 500-800 calories per session is the secret to my losing the better part of the 5 lbs I've dropped over the past 2 weeks. If you're looking for a ton of fun and a great compliment to your regular fitness routine, I highly recommend it.  And the good news is that Staness says that it's Menopause Makeover approved!

Now, this is a high-cardio workout and I have to caution anyone who has wonky knees from doing it, and probably as with any exercise program recommend that you check with  your Dr. first. I have a big honking knee brace that I wear and I temper a lot of the twisting moves to accomodate my particular injury so as not to make things worse.  I enjoy exercising in a group rather than on my own and the class is held in our local church basement which is less than a block from home. I've talked a couple of girlfriends into doing this with me, so now I have NO excuse not to go!

Tuesday, January 12, 2010 began as an ordinary day. In ten days I was leaving for Haiti, so I emailed my friend Catherine about meeting at the Hotel Montana. That afternoon, she wrote back, “Great, I’ll see you on the 25th, can’t wait!”
