Good news minute

Today I used my workout DVD that I bought for $3 at Marshall's. I haven't lost all my baby weight, but I've lost almost all of it. I'm not working toward a set weight goal, though. My only goal is to fit into my rather expensive suit that I bought last year. I tried it on about a week ago and it zipped up, but it was really tight. Eric said I couldn't wear it to church for fear that I might give the wrong impression ;) So, my goal is to be able to wear it by my birthday. Not a lofty goal, and I like it.

Daytime feedings/naptime have gotten easier now that I have more of a rhythm to follow, thanks to some advice from Katy's sister-in-law, Candice. Thanks for the help!

Noah and I spend the mornings lazing about in bed. I read to him from the Ensign, and when he takes his morning nap I go back to sleep. Yay for having only one child and not having anywhere I need to be besides right here at home.

I'm reading a book of short stories by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I was nervous, because last time I made a random selection of a book to read by a classic author, I was highly disappointed (I should have know Hemingway was unreliable...). I'm reading "The Basil and Josephine Stories." I'm enjoying it so far, but then I always did like "The Great Gatsby" much more than "The Old Man and the Sea."

I'm also reading "Letters," a compilation of letters President Hinckley's wife wrote to her friends and family over the years. I like it because sometimes she complained or confessed weaknesses, and it's a nice reminder that even a woman who was amazing enough to be married to a prophet had problems, haha. What's more important, however, is how evident it is that the gospel of Jesus Christ was such a huge part of her life that it found its way even into letters about mundane things like needing a new dress.

Ok, Noah's tired of me paying attention to the computer and not him!
