Books, Sewing, and Summer fun


That's what I've been doing this Spring Term. I've been reading a lot of books which I am commenting on in my new blog: anookforreaders.blogspot.com I love books! Today I finished my fleece jacket that I have been making in my intermediate sewing class. To make it unique I embroidered the sleeves with my own design (by hand). Everyone asks me if it is by hand, as opposed to being done by machine. Of course! If a machine did it it wouldn't be so fun for me.

I just finished the shots for the HCG diet. Yay! Now it's on to the maintenance phase. I lost about 15 lbs. and I feel great. However, it was the hardest thing ever for me to do, and I was not always perfect. Anyone who knows me knows that I love to cook and eat just as much as I love to read. So was limiting myself to 500 calories a day enjoyable? No. Of course, it was better once I actually had enough HCG solution in my shots. Thanks, Mom! And with the warm weather I am excited for those fun outdoor activities like . . . ultimate frisbee!!! We'll be playing it up this Saturday at the Rock Canyon Park most likely. So if any of you want to join, come along. Signing out for today.

Melissa's Book List

So, what this is: I am an avid reader and my cousins and friends often want to find good books. I decided it would be smart to follow my Grandpa Lewis' advice and make a list of the books I've read. When I have more time I'll add key marks to say how good they were.
Here's what I've read recently:
Emeralds and Espionage (for the 2nd time)
The Only Alien on the Planet (for the 4th time. A favorite)
Slumming
Long Night Dance
Hearts in Hiding (for the 2nd or 3rd time)

Currently reading:
Your Eyes in Stars
Deliver Us From Evie
Jesus the Christ

Keep an eye out for my next list update!!
