You walk a heck of a lot! I only manage...Wow Sandy! You walk a heck of a lot! I only manage to do about three and a half miles a day, and some of that is on the Wii. I know you live in Orlando, so my question is, when do you find a good time to walk when the temperature is bearable? I am not an early riser and usually try to walk in the early evening, but even with the cooler weather it sometimes is still to hot for me to do it in the afternoon. I am so impressed that you have gotten so many miles under your belt! If you have any tips for me, please pass them along!<br /><br />My husband and I also saw The Lovely Bones last weekend. It was very different than the book, and I am still not sure if I liked it or disliked it. It was a pretty compelling story, but also a little creepy. I felt that the movie never really delineated the difference between the inbetween and heaven...they both seemed the same to me. Ok, I have rambled enough, I hope you have a great week!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-63737023253134416282010-01-25T21:59:15.662-05:002010-01-25T21:59:15.662-05:00That is very cool that your daughter needed not on...That is very cool that your daughter needed not only to TALK about that book - but that she needed to talk to YOU.<br /><br />That Larrson book is one nominated for February's group read in one of my Goodread groups.
