I recently read Mercury in Retrograde by Paula Froelich. I have not laughed this hard in a long time. The book was hilarious and at a point when I needed a good laugh. This was the second book, in about two weeks, that I actually stayed up into the wee hours of the morning to finish. The story was entertaining and light. I picked this book up at the gym book exchange. This isn't a deep thinking novel, but it was witty, humorous, and entertaining. Laughter is great medicine. Reading is great for empathy; and thank God for this book, because I at least know I'm not the only one that seems to have lots of things going wrong in my life (Mercury just seems to be in constant retrograde for me - lol).
The book follows three girls as their lives get up-ended by Mercury going into retrograde. When Mercury appears to be traveling backwards, from earths perspective, things tend to go rather WRONG. Penelope, Lena, Dana are three New York ladies whose lives have gone awry during Mercury retrograde. It covers how their paths all cross and their lives go in every which way; thanks Mercury retrograde!
I recently put out, on the city network page, an ad for a book club! I don't know if I should just join the library book club or start my own. I'm just excited to get back at it.
Yup; that's me! I did a video the other day and posted it on YouTube. I was super scared and nervous, but excited to share what I knew about changing your posture in just a few minutes a day. All stuff you can do while in your pajamas. Hence, the title and my awesome wardrobe choice.
I didn't post yesterday because I was on a very long bus ride back to Wisconsin. And as noted, it's not possible to post a blog from an iPhone. Out of all the things you can do, you can't do that.
Instead, I started reading about mudras in Mudras: Yoga in your Hands by Gertrude Hirschi and another book, called Fools Rush In: An April Fools Day Anthology. They are both very interesting and I plan on posting the mudras that I have been practicing from the book.
I'm not even through the first story in the Fools Rush In book, but I like it already. The first story is about a teenage nerd that get courted by the popular cute guy and ends up getting hurt in one of those horrible public ways. It keeps alluding to what happened, but it hasn't actually said yet. It's 12 years later, and Alex (the nerd girl) is putting her life back together and running her own floral shop. She begins planning the wedding flowers for a local celebrity; one day, Beck (hot, popular betrayer) walks in with said celebrity client. It turns out he's the brother of the celebrity lady. I'm really interested to see what else happens. This is the point where my bus pulled up to the stop. I'll keep you updated.
