I'm a bad blogger but I'm mostly ok with that :-) I have no witty lead ins... so here are my updates....

101 Things to To Do:
Once again I have crossed off absolutely nothing on this list since my last post... I did however update the list a little bit... I took off a few things that don't interest me anymore and added a few others ( I was inspired by a co-workers bucket list).  Here's the list if you want to check it out.  I might make more changes over time... my original list had a lot of things on it that I want to get accomplished (and I still do want to accomplish them) but not quite as many things that are truly out of my comfort zone which is the way I am currently leaning.  I am not exactly a risk taker or adrenaline junky and I will admit to wanting to hide in my comfortable little corner of the world... but surprise surprise... doing different things can be fun :-) 

Yesterday I played on my first sports team in 20 years.  Granted it was an adult kickball league (we're not talking tons of skills necessary) but I was a little nervous my first time up to the plate.  I really intended to be an extra girl in case I was needed (you must have a certain number playing each game) but that happened at our very first game and it turns out I had a great time.   I didn't contribute much to our win (I played catcher and barely ever even had to touch the ball - and kicked two pop ups that were immediately caught) but it was still fun... and I think I will play every week - whether I have to or not.  As I said on facebook I accomplished my 3 goals: 1. actually make contact between my foot and the ball, 2. don't fall in the mud, 3. don't get hurt.  Maybe my goal for the rest of the season should be to get on base.... that's a lot of pressure though :-) 

Books:
Silent Sorority by Pamela Tsigdinos - I won't get into all of my thoughts about this book... for me it's a bit too personal to share with the world at large -- in fact -- I contemplated not adding it to goodreads or to my blog but I think it's an important book for anyone out there who might be seeking a book on the topic so here it is.  My quick overview is that this is biography of sorts about a woman's (and also a couple's) struggle with infertility that doesn't turn out peachy in the end... in other words its about how she reacts/deals with life when none of the intense/painful/expensive treatments work.  There isn't really much out there on this topic... most books on infertility are simply about getting to the final goal... and not about how your life turns upside down when you realize your future has to be different than you imagined it.  I'm happy to chat with anyone who wants to know more about the book or my personal thoughts/feelings on the subject but I think that's enough for the blog :-).

Totally other end of the spectrum I also ready DUFF (Designated Ugly Fat Friend) by Kody Keplinger.  I had this in advanced reader copy form on my desk for ages and finally took it home a few weekends ago.  It's a teen novel and it was a quick read.  I was invested enough in the characters to want to finish....but I didn't love it either.  The reader reviews of it on goodreads are pretty good so maybe I just missed something? 

Resolutions:  I have made it to the gym a few times ( I forgot how much I love the kickboxing class)...and I actually took my running outside once last weekend on a pretty day instead of hiding in my basement on the treadmill.  It's much nicer outside (though the hills are not my friends) and the time actually goes faster.  I still haven't managed to get into a routine of going at set times throughout the week... life always seems to get in the way of that.
