A Good Read!

Would you look at this..... 5 new magazines, all in one week! I can't wait to put my feet up and read them. I usually only have one magazine subscription at a time, and usually that is the 'Today's Christian Woman' magazine, which I really like. But last year sometime (when I was in to yet another 'I want to get fit' phase) I subscribed to the 'Fitness' magazine. Then just last October I got the 'Paula Deen' magazine subscription as a birthday gift from my inlaws (it was on my wish list). And just last month I agreed to the 'Simple & Delicious' subscription cos, well it looked so yummy! The Weight Watchers mag I just bought yesterday when I got the groceries in. I'm by no means following any of their programs, but I do like their magazine and it helps motivate me to eat the right things. So, now all I need is - time, so I can read them all.

I think it is the last issue for the Fitness magazine and I won't be re-newing it. To be honest I've hardly glanced at the 2 or 3 previous issues. They just seem to have the same old stuff in every issue. I wasn't really impressed with it and certainly won't miss it in the mail each month. I love the Paual Deen magazine :-) Even if I won't cook half the recipes in there I like looking at them, and reading the other articles in there. It's a real 'homey and cozy' kind of mag. One you'd love to curl up with on a rainy day, with a hot drink in your hands.

I had to run some errands this morning so I went out at 8.30am wanting to be at the store (Best Buy, where I needed to return something) for 9am. I thought I'd stop in at the Barnes & Noble book store for a few minutes first, because I thought that opened even earlier. I got to the book store at 8.45am and it didn't open til 9! I had to sit 15 minutes in the car, cos nothing else is open at that time either. I popped in there at 9 for about 15 minutes, I was looking for a specific magazine but they still didn't have it in. Then I headed over to Best Buy, only to find they didn't open til 10am! Ok, so I thought I'd pop in to Old Navy right near by until then (by this time it was 9.30) but I got to their doors and they didn't open til 10 either. I'm getting rather fed up at this point. Just before Christmas these shops were open at 9am, but then it dawned on me that their opening times were obviously for Christmas shopping and not the norm. What to do for half an hour? Linens & Things was open, as was TJ Max, so I wandered in those 2 shops just to kill 30 minutes. Then I went back to Best Buy, returned the Halo3 game book that Jason didn't need with his game, and headed home, making a detour at the library to drop off some books that were due today.

And so, here I am 11.30am already, nothing done in the house and only 2.12 hours before I have to head out again to pick up Kristen! Seriously, there isn't enough hours in some days! Next week I want to make a concerted effort to not go anywhere. Only then can I get some serious housework and organizing done.

Hope you're all having a great start to your weekend.

+++ Re: walking - I only managed 10 minutes out with Boo yesterday :-( It was just SO cold, I could hardly breath. You know when it's so cold out and you are all tense, I was like that and my chest ached! Tomorrow is forecast to be mid 70's (whooohooo, now Christmas is over I'd like warmer weather again - just not red hot yet please, but 70 would be perfect) so I will hopefully get out more over the weekend.
And white strips.... I'm sitting here with them in again - urghhhh, have I mentioned how I hate wearing these! I didn't think to take a pic of my teeth, seriously who wants to see my dull 'coffee stained' teeth! Yuck! I'm not sure I'd even be able to get a good picture anyway, but perhaps I'll try?
