Much to DO update

January has been harder on me than I first imagined, this pregnancy has been so different from Stuffing's. I have been confined to bed many days due to headaches or exhaustion.  On top of the demands of pregnancy, I also have a very spirited and demanding daredevil of a toddler. I've tried to keep up, but I find myself doing as little as possible unless it's absolutely necessary. Even getting on the computer drains my energy :(


1. Read 100 books - 4/100

2. Start Letter of the Week program - done
3. Go to snow day with mummy - done
12. Paint at least once a week - ongoing


We haven't done exceptionally well but we have a good start.

Book 1/50 Review


Eve by Iris Johansen 2.5/5

This book kept me turning the pages after page 200 or so BUT it was very unrealistic and the dialogue was forced and unbelievable. I'm coming into the series very late,  but these were getting read heavily on my BBC Book Club group and I needed to read something. Ms. Johansen's fascination with the "projects" and how Eve crawled out were forced and reeks of someone who has never set foot in a real poor community. The teenagers spoke like they were in their mid thirties as opposed to being 16/18 year olds. I didn't connect with any of the main characters so I didn't care who died or lived. I think I should have started from the first Eve Duncan book to get into this series.

Skatefest

Stuffing and I spent a wonderful afternoon ice skating. There were more young children on the ice than I anticipated and most of their parents were on the side line watching instead of on the ice to supervise so there were many fake falls for laughs and it caused quite a few run ins. Skating while pregnant is probably not the best idea but it was great exercise!

Happy New Year!

2011 was a great learning year for me and I hope 2012 is the same.

I am looking forward to so much this year, my 27th birthday, Stuffing's 2nd birthday, Pumpkin's birth, DH's 27th birthday, lots of reading, family time, actually traveling again and life.

What are you looking forward in 2012?
