Shosh has a fun meme up on her blog. So I copied it. Here goes:

1.Grab the nearest book.
2.Open the book to page 123.
3.Find the fifth sentence.
4.Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.

The book closest to me was "The Other Boleyn Girl" by Philippa Gregory. A great book for historical fiction lovers. I couldn't put it down. Carried it everywhere.

So, here's goes, page 123:
"'Hear this, Mary. I am playing my own game and I don't want you interrupting. Nobody will know anything until I am ready to tell them, and then they will know everything too late.'"

And you'll have to read it yourself to find out about her game.

It's been awhile

since I last posted. There hasn't been much going on. I've been working, sometimes, at the local day camp... making their newsletter, working in the office, teaching a crocheting elective... not doing much, but thanks so the extra money we're going to be able to go to Israel this year. I'm so excited. Especially after reading this.

I had a wedding last night - it was great and all, but I think I got food poisoning, which is less than fun.

I've been working out a lot this summer, which is good, because I haven't done that in a loooong time, and it's really not healthy to not have exercise. I started at the college, but the gym there stinks. There are 3 working treadmills and 2 working bikes and 1 working stair master, and you constantly have to wait for other people to get off. In the weight room there's only one set of 10 lb weights, because they don't expect girls to come in (and--i should add, laugh at us when we do). Also, in the cardio room, there are mirrors on all the walls, so that you have to stair at yourself while you're red and sweaty and gross.
So, we started going to a real gym, and I LOVE it there. There's a complete lack of mirrors by the cardio stuff, which makes me feel completely anonymous. There are TVs, which makes everything feel easier. AND there's a 30 minute express workout, which is like Curves - exercises every muscle in your body with step between each station. It's great. Oh, and they discourage body builders from going there, so that you're not working out near these scary huge people, and they're not using all the equipment. And it's HUGE, so there's never any wait for anything.

Wow, I just wrote a really lot about going to the gym. I'm gonna stop now.
