Diets don't work. Why not? Because they focus on what foods we should and shouldn't eat but completely ignore everything else that makes us fat. Look at your own situation: You say you want to lose weight, but you just can't stop indulging. You say you'd exercise more if only you had the time, yet you spend precious hours every night in front of the TV doing what? Munching nutrition-free snacks and drinking supersized beverages.
Who would you be if you felt at peace and had more time and money? An organized life enables you to have more freedom, less aggravation, better health, and to get more done. Whether you’re living in chaos or just looking for new ways to simplify, this essential book will help you get the whole household organized-and stay that way.
I have high hopes for both these books! Now, if I could only get motivated to act upon them....{sigh}.......

The Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer
In anticipation of Ashley's birthday party, the final book in the series coming out in August, and the movie coming out in December, I recently re-read Twilight. Although these books were aimed at teenagers, I know several adults who really enjoy them, too. Yesterday I started reading the 2nd in the series: New Moon. Of course, I can't give anything away, but I'm on about page 100 and very depressed; luckily there are 400 some pages left to make things right!
P.S. Ashley & I plan on attending a release party for Breaking Dawn Aug. 1. I'm so excited!
