January

I don't want to forget to write down any book I am reading. Some books just get a slight look see by me. Not my full attention. I started off the New Year with a resolution to eat better, grabbed some diet books and decided to do a "Cleanse" as propsed by Mark Hyman in The UltaSimple Diet. Ha! Simple indeed. Stocking up on all he suggests just for the first week kept me busy for awhile. The most helpful suggestion was the UltraBath. "Add 2 cups of Epsom salt, 1 cup baking soda and 10 drops of lavender oil to bathwater as hot as you can stand it. Soak 20 minutes before bed." p. 107 Its great, I sleep much better. Can't seem to eliminate the coffee completely, must be a winter thing. oh, I am going to read The Coffee Trader by David Liss to prepare me for my trip to the Netherlands. That's coming up the end of February and I want to acquaint myself with some history of Amsterdam. I am also reading bits and pieces of travel books, Let's Go Europe by Rick Stevens and Safety and Security For Women Who Travel by Shelia Swan and Peter Laufer. I need to start working on my lists of things not to forget. The wedding announcement came, the town is Hoogwoud. My sister and I are traveling to her son's wedding. How cool is that!!
