I'm feeling down...I am hoping that a few days at the beach will cure my depression. Things just aren't going right lately, and I can't seem to get unstuck from where I am. Kimber's not going to the beach with us because she has to work, but at least we get to go.

I Do But I Don't: Walking Down the Aisle Without Losing Your Mind
We have our annual women's ministry board meeting next weekend. I have been brainstorming different ideas of new things to start and some things to change. I have been looking at different church websites to see things other women's ministries offer. I have been wanting to start a book discussion group for a long time, this year I'm definitely going to do it.

DVD Reviews
One of the sites I review for, www.curledup.com, has started a DVD review site www.curledupdvd.com. Since we like to watch movies almost as much as we like to read, this is a great fit for me :)
Here are my first few reviews for that site:
The Departed
Arthur and the Invisibles
Catch & Release
Thr3e

And new reviews again
I actually had some time this past week to type up some reviews, so here they are:
The Art of Worship
Dream: Have You Caught God's Vision?
Back to the Family
Pivot Point
I have been knocked out with strep throat the past few days, and today I'm finally feeling a little bit human again, although I'm still not feeling 100%. After I get caught up on my e-mail I have quite a few more reviews to write. Then it's on to my RT reading for the month.

I forgot three!
I forgot three books I had also read from my shelves this past month. I did really well!
I also read The Surrogate by Judith Henry Wall, Desperate Pastors' Wives by Ginger Kolbaba and Cindy Scanlan, and Au Paris by Rachel Spencer.
I hope to keep the momentum next month. I do need to get to my backlogged review books from the websites, but it feels good to get to the tbr books also.
