My Constant Struggle.

I am a chronic procrastinator.  If it's not on fire, doesn't involve the children's schooling or isn't needed to keep the bills paid, most likely I've avoided doing it. This bad habit is so deeply rooted in my being, I'm constantly reminding myself I need to do something about it. Which just defeats the purpose, because I'm avoiding tackling my avoidance.

Well, since a few dynamics have changed in my life and some of the daily struggles I dealt with as a single mother are no longer there, I've decided to face this problem head-on. I am declaring the remainder of this year "The Year I Get Shit Done."

There are three major "to-do's" on my list"

1. Tackle these 40 pounds I swear I'm going to lose or embrace what God gave me and shut-up about it.
2. Write a novel. I don't care if I only manage to write one word a day, I'm gettin' 'er done.
3. Become a Naturalista and remain free from chemical bondage for the rest of my days.  

(I managed to accomplish #3 on May 8, 2014. Can you say "freedom?")

Have You Heard of Her?

There are two things I spend most of my time doing: scouring the internet for ways to lose 20 pounds in one month without dieting or working out and downloading inexpensive fiction onto my Kindle. Well, some time ago when I was on the hunt for something new to read, I ran across a series of books by Adrienne Thompson. Can you say the bombdiggity? Her writing is easy to follow and the storylines will hold your interest from beginning to end. I pretty much devoured each book in a few sittings. (and that's only because family duties kept interrupting my flow).  Start with this series of books and I can guarantee you won't be disappointed.

You can download the majority of her books at the low, low cost of $3.99 per novel. So grab your Kindle, a glass of Moscato (or your spirit of choice) and be prepared to be entertained.
