Next 20?

I'm always thinking about what should be the next goal that I should try for 20 days. I tried (actually a couple of times) during this past weekend to start another 20-day goal. I really need to stop drinking pop. However, I am addicted to caffeine and it is dang hard to quit. I can go about 2/3rds of the day before I break down and drink some.



Since it actually wasn't time to start a new 20DG (20-Day Goal), I don't see the weekend as a failure. It was kind of real, but not. I was kind of down though, and I almost decided to eat my candy last night. However it's bean 16 days allready - and I wouldn't want to have to start again, or admit failure. So




My poison of choice is Cherry Pepsi. I also really like Dr. Pepper, Mt. Dew & Cherry Coke as well. Time & time again I've tried to stop. The longest that I've ever gone without caffeine was near the end of my mission. I made a a new years resolution to not drink caffeinated drinks and I went about a week. It ended when I got food poisoning and my stomach was hurting so much. 7-Up helped because it helped me burp more. Finally when I drank some Dr. Pepper it deadened the pain - and that was the end of my resolution. It was actually a bet between Sister Kim Cooley & I. She had to give up chocolate.





What am I reading?: "Monday Mourning" by Kathy Reichs, "Hero of Ages" by Brandon Sanderson, & "Ford County" by John Grisham. Kathy Reichs is the author of the novels that became the idea for the TV Series Bones on Fox. Of course her, Temperance Brennan is a little different. Brandon Sanderson is the author that was chosen to complete the Wheel of Time series (which book "The Gathering Storm" recently came out and is awesome!) for the late Robert Jordan.



Alright - where do I get most of my books that I read? BOMC2 or Book of the Month Club 2. When I first started it was called Zooba.com, and was renamed last year some time. What you do is you make a list of the books that you would like to buy from BOMC2, and the same time every month, they will package up the book that is in the #1 spot on the list and send it to you - all for only $9.95 (shipping included). These books are sometimes smaller than the regular books - it is a book-club book after all, but a lot of the books are the same as what you get from regular book stores.



For Christmas I gave my mom a year of books. She just goes online and makes her list. Then they will charge me, and she'll get a new book every month.



Well, ta ta.
