FYI

Well, it's been a while since I've last posted but not too much new stuff going on over here. Been riding my horse as much as this weather allows. I did wear my new thermal barbie shirt yesterday as apart of my layers :). Although it's been cold, you do warm up with all the moving of getting the horse ready and riding. I'm really proud of Magic and me though. I'm now able to canter without him bucking and without my nerves coming in PLUS I don't need to hold onto his mane anymore with cantering :) That may not mean much to many of you but it was a big goal for me. It's getting a heck of a lot colder now and over the next few days so we likely won't be getting out there much until Sunday but we'll see. Hey defiance is coming out Fri so that would be good. Of course there is always housecleaning. Uh huh. Other than that I have been playing with my DVD's and did pilates and my country line dancing Dvd. Wanting to get better with yoga too and can't wait for warmer weather so Jack and I can get out again. I really need to think about a treadmill but the dvds are fun too.
So as for my title: I guess since there's not too much new stuff I would also use my blog for interesting tidbits I've learned lately and thought others would enjoy:

1.) Found a new magazine out just for Women runners and this month featured a half marathon guide.
2.)Anyone interested in a good thinking book, my book club just finished Jodi Picoult's Change of Heart. She has a lot of really social thinking books but this was the one we read and my first one of her i've read. I enjoyed it and it really went along with Gray's Anatomy recently. I may pick up another after the books I'm reading now. We're reading Margaret Atwood's Handmaiden's Tale next.
3.) I went to the library today and found a book you may be interested in mom: Chi running. It's supposed to be a running book based on zen or something like that. I haven't read it, just noted it.
4.)Scrubs is new on ABC and has had me rolling. I didn't watch it before but enjoy it now. Look it up if you haven't seen it.
