I finished reading Anne of Green Gables, which was one of my designated books to read, a few days ago (#66). I found it a little tedious in the beginning because of all the fanciful language she uses, but once I got into it, I really enjoyed the stories. I always thought of this as a children's book, but with all of the big words, it's really not. The main character reminds me a lot of Pollyanna with her perpetually cheery attitude and implausible adventures. I expect that I'll probably pick up the sequels at the library at some point.
I've been doing well without drinking pop (#46). One of the hardest times was over the weekend when I was out running errands. I have realized that I often go out without regard for what time it is, so I usually end up running through a drive-through and picking up a snack and a drink. Bad on two counts. Plus, it has been sooo hot here that a Coke sounded like the most refreshing thing possible! But I resisted. Unfortunately, I did get some sort of stomach bug on Sunday, and I gave in and got a Pepsi on Monday when I was at work, because my stomach felt so bad and drinking water was actually making it worse. Thankfully, that did the trick, and I'm back on the wagon. I'm not going to count the one Pepsi as a failure, though, since I consider that an extenuating circumstance.
If you read my comment on the last post, you know that I failed miserably on the "no fast food" front (#9). I laugh every time I think about it! So that will be saved for some other time. *sigh* hee-hee!
That's about it for now. Otherwise, I'm just trying to keep cool in the ridiculous heat and getting ready for my friend's 40th birthday celebration in Las Vegas next month! Can't wait!!
