Friday Reading List
* 
* 
I absolutely love that I can go into my local little library and take this this book home for two weeks. I won’t say much to ruin the suspense, but it makes those “i never thought it would happen to me” letters to Penthouse look like Saturday morning cartoons. I find myself blushing, alone, in my own room.
Another book I took out of the library last week was The Secret History of The Pink Carnation. I picked it up because the author was going to be doing a reading there and it looked interesting, even though I’ve never been a huge devotee of either romance novels or historical fiction. But I was pleasantly surprised. This was a page turner, the love scenes were quite well done and I put down the book wanting to know more about Napolionic France and their relations with England. The author’s biography is a bit of a hoot - she went to Harvard University for a Ph.D. in History to write historically accurate romance novels - I don’t know if she defended or not, but I can’t imagine any dissertation getting the kind of wide spread distribution this one is getting. Good for her.
Next up on my shelf is a book that has come up in my bookclub quite frequently, but is never chosen. The Crimson Petal and The White, by Michael Faber. The hard cover version was in a remainders pile for $3.50 at The Harvard Book Store in Cambridge. Couldn’t pass that bargin up. I opened up to page 1 last night and then we lost our power. So I will be going back to it this afternoon.
My women’s studies list is coming along nicely. I’ve found a few other fantastic resources, and will be working to make a women’s studies wiki for my final project. Do you Wiki? (www.wikipedia.com). I’m finding that I lose all sense of time when I get in there and start digging.
And finally, I’m closing in on the 50# mark - not goal mind you, but well on my way. The problem is that my weight loss has stalled. I need to jumpstart my system and work on getting motivated to do my weight training. I’m still exercising 5 times a week, mostly yoga and walking (a 4 mile loop). Intellectually I know that weight training will speed up my metabolism, doing weights actually takes less time than my other exercise, but I can’t seem to motivate myself to do it. I think I need a reward system, because that worked so well when I was just getting into the exercise habit, but I haven’t come up with a good, non food based reward yet. Any ideas?

Sock yarn would be good. Any yarn would be good, for that matter.
BTW, thanks for the books to look into. I was needing new reading material.

I am going through something similar (JUST barely started so no where near your wonderful 50# lost). Yesterday I stopped at a large drugstore and spent 45 minutes “browsing” in the lipstick, makeup area where I spent a few dollars and felt good about it. It was non food (so key but hard to ignore) and made me feel better as I entered the 21st Century with the “in” shades of lipstick!!
