  1. Jenn, congrats on your son! :) Also, I loved The Shadow of the Wind.
  2. I read: The Ageless Woman - 2 Stars - I would have preferred more practical information and tips presented in an engaging and colorful way. This book was rather dry. Calling Invisible Women - 4 Stars - A really fun read – in the chick-lit /pool/beach reading category, when one is in the mood for that. The ending was too sudden for my liking. The author wrote her first book at the age of 60. She’s Ann Patchett’s mother, which I thought was interesting. A quote that I loved and thought to share: Had I ever spent the day in our neighborhood public high school as an invisible woman while my children were still enrolled there, I no doubt would have insisted on home schooling. I read more than 20% of Size 12 is Not Fat and had to give it up. I did not like the writing style one bit and I was about to lose my mind at all the distracting hyphens in the middle of sentences :banghead:. MY RATING SYSTEM 5 Stars Fantastic, couldn't put it down 4 Stars Really Good 3 Stars Enjoyable 2 Stars Just Okay – nothing to write home about 1 Star Rubbish – waste of my money and time. Few books make it to this level, since I usually give up on them if they’re that bad.
  3. Love so many of those already mentioned. Added others that look good to my never-ending wish list. Great suggestions. :) Love Fannie Flagg. :) Can't Wait to Get to Heaven was my favorite. Love them all. Maeve Binchy has some humor in them also. Always liked her. Funny in Farsi and Laughing Without an Accent One of my favorites!
  4. Link to new thread. Quoting everyone so that you're more likely to see this. :)
  5. New thread. Please post your workouts here. Everyone welcome. :)
  6. About to do Denise Austin: 10 Five-Minute Target Toners.
  7. I know it's been a few weeks since your birthday, but I simply couldn't resist this picture.
  8. I hope that your weekend is a better one. It stinks to have a bummer birthday. I know. :grouphug:
  9. Had a lovely swim yesterday. Rebounding and yoga today - just several yoga sequences. Love all 3 of these the most - swimming, rebounding and yoga. That stinks. Sorry. :( Is it the springs? If so, can you get replacement springs?
  10. Leslie's 3 Fast Miles. Love your new avatar. :)
  11. Rebounding - it's been a very long time.
  12. 2 Miles of a Leslie Walk. Faithe, what's a Willpower and Grace class? Sounds interesting. And yes, we are blessed to live so close to the ocean :), although we so often take it for granted.
  13. Robin, I couldn't agree more. That's just stupid and very disturbing.
  14. It took me a long time to read Exodus. It was on my Kindle, then I realized that it's over 600 pages. I first read this about 20 years ago and loved it as much this time as I did back then. Beautiful story of the history of Israel - one of my favorite countries ever. 5 stars. Also read Coronado High - short Kindle book. Very engaging at first, but dragged on a bit from the middle on out. Too many characters to remember, or maybe it was just my distracted mood. 2 Stars.
