Hello my ChicGeek friends,
How was your week? Mine was okay but I’m very glad it’s Friday!
* I’m sitting here watching “Leap Year” With Amy Adams. Anyone else seen it? So far its really good! I love Amy Adams. And its in one of my favorite places – Ireland. I’ve never been but really want to. Definitely on my bucket list!
* I am enjoying my Color Theory class so far. I need to get acrylic paints this weekend so I can start on my next assignments. But I have learned a lot in just the first week. Can’t wait to learn more!
* I’ve started reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People this week. (Yes, one more to add to the stack of ones I’m already reading!) I’m on the 3rd habit and learning a lot. I thank Brigitte for the recommendation! 
* My Yoga Booty Ballet DVD came today! I can’t wait to start it on Monday. I weighed myself today and it was more than I thought which was depressing. 
So I really need the motivation and support to start to get into a regular program.
* Note to self, don’t write a post while watching a movie. Distracting! 
* If you haven’t read Piper’s Dream Report at Makeunder My Life, go check it out. It was really good today! It definitely made me think about prioritizing things and how I need to map out time for things. It’s just so hard to figure out how to fit everything in the day! I really thing there needs to be more hours in the day.
* I’m going to leave you with a picture of my mom’s pup Rocky. He’s standing guard watching the fence/door to bark in case anyone comes out. Just so we don’t miss it.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!

I am also reading The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. It was recommended by Jess when I started reading her blog. I am also on the 3rd Habit. Like you, I read several books at once. I am also reading Eat, Pray, Love right before the movie comes out this summer.
I saw reviews for Leap Year. I need to add that to my Netflix queue.
Have a great weekend, Lori.

How do you like the 7 Habits so far? How is Eat, Pray, Love? I hadn’t heard of it so I went and read about it. It looks good. Yes, Leap Year was good! You need to see it.
Thanks, have a good weekend yourself!

So far, I like 7 Habits. It’s a lot of concepts so I know I need to read it again. Eat, Pray, Love was recommended to me by several people when it came out a few years ago. So far, I like it. It’s nonfiction. Thanks for the Leap Year suggestion.

Hi, Lori! I hope you like the 7 Habits. I highly recommend doing the exercises as you go, especially “begin with the end in mind.” I learned a lot about myself in the process, and I do an annual check-in to make sure I’m living my life in accordance with my values. It’s good!

Thanks for the shout out Lori!! I’m soooo with you – I need so many extra hours in the day, I swear!! How do you like 7 habits? I read it a long time ago – not sure I even remember it!
