Is it already September? Seriously? What happened to August?

So, it's a bit tardy, but my August resolution was to cut out grains and refined sugar from my diet. I also resolved to get myself on a regular exercise schedule, which I did for a week, but then that petered out. I did a better job with the diet, even though I picked the most inconvenient month to restrict my diet. I had two sets of out-of-town visitors (my in-laws with GC's nephew and Magenta Green Goddess). It's difficult to find appropriate food when out on the town, sight-seeing and being a tourist. No sandwiches, pizzas or Chipwiches. Just salads, meat and vegetables, which aren't usually quick, fast, easy meals. Whew, I'm glad August is over!

My September resolution is much more enjoyable. I'm resolving to read more this month. I enjoy reading, but haven't had time to do more than flip through magazines for quite a while. A few months ago, I signed up with GoodReads and recently got an email reminding me that I've been "reading" the same book for 64 days. 64! I'm so close to the end of the book, but I haven't picked it up in over a month. That's just shameful. I don't have a library card here, and that is because I haven't had time to go the library to apply for one. I tried signing up online, and requested the card be mailed to me, but that was a month ago and the card still hasn't shown up. This month, I'll be making time to go to the library, get a card, check out a book, and READ IT! I didn't read any books on my recommended summer reading list.

I miss my hammock.
