Cat Thursday and Updates

It’s Thursday already and that means CATS!!!!  I love cats every day but this is a special meme day devoted to the kitties.  This meme is hosted by Michelle at The True Book Addict.  Pop on over to her site and sign up.  One can never loot at enough cat pictures. 

 

What mother or father has not heard those words?  And what is the stock answer?  “I am not everybody else’s mother!”  LOL 

 

On the reading front

I am ashamed to say I have not finished a book in quite awhile.  I try but I am always getting sidetracked.  Right now I am in 3/4 done with The Retribution by Val McDermid.   This is a Tony Hill, Carol Jordan thriller and trust me, it is pretty darn good.  Review to follow soon.  AND, this is a Netgalley read so it fits in with January is Netgalley Month! 

Lookie here:

 

 

Is this not the best?  My fav author who writes the more grotesque and twisted murder thrillers, Val McDermid,has authored a children’s book!  I LOVE it.  I am postive it is fun and kids will love it.  I would be first in line to buy it for my granddaughter but alas, it’s not available in the states yet.  Poor me.  I hope there is more to come!

 

I am also about halfway through  Oath of Office by Michael Palmer.  I teased you with the cover yesterday.  Another winner.  Review to follow shortly.  This is not a netgalley.  I was actually contacted by the author for a review.  YES, Mr. Michael Palmer contacted ME!  <sigh>

Dukan Day 5

I was inspired to try this diet or better said lifestyle when I found flamidwyfe’s blog.  Her blog is so darn interesting.    I want to be her!  Anyway, she is on Dukan and results are awesome so I figuted I w0uld try it out myself. 

 

One hurdle for me is, I am not a meat eater.   Yes, I eat it, but I could very easily do without.  So these seven days of PP (pure protein) are not real easy for me.  I have eaten so much

greek yogurt that I feel like I am Anthony Quinn!  (get it, Zorba the Greek?)  I am very much looking foward to some veggies.  I miss that crunch feelings. 

 

BUT, I have lost three pounds so far so I think I can do this.  Especially once I move on to the Cruise Phase.  I feel great.  Once the headaches passed from sugar/carb withdrawl I felt like a new person. 

Thank you flamidwyfe for kicking me in the pants and getting me started.  Ok, she didn’t acutally kick me in the pants or even know that I was getting started but like I said, she inspired me to take the first steps.

Here ends my updates.  I have been successful at blogging every day so far so that is on track.  Now if I can just get some reading and reviewing done!
