Bit of a glutton for punishment, I suppose. In the next couple of weeks I plan on getting my blog back up and going and while the long walk won't be the focus of the blog, it'll no doubt get mentioned. I think others should sign up with me. ;-) Anyone?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471476473394390483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718743594504287977.post-28430254603879914382010-01-13T18:08:51.740-08:002010-01-13T18:08:51.740-08:00Judy- Thanks so much for commenting- I really appr...Judy- Thanks so much for commenting- I really appreciate it and am glad you like the layout.<br /><br />This Thrifted Life- Thanks! I'm looking forward to what's in store also! The books- yes, I'm very excited to start the Barbara Kingsolver soon- she is one of my favorite fiction authors.<br /><br />Cate- Thanks! (about the layout) Yes, the challenges have been fun for me and I love the idea of tackling one thing at a time and focusing on it. Sometimes we get overwhelmed and think we have to do everything at once and since it's not possible, we do nothing. Re: Kingsolver- yay for her! I love her books. And yay for Indian food- I'm going to try the "chole bakura"- I know that's wrong- next week. Can't wait. It will be so fun to be learning it together. It is our very favorite food. <br /><br />Jen- Wow! You have really intrigued me with that statement- is that over 60 miles in one day? Wow- I must hear more- please keep us informed- that is incredible!<br /><br />Betsy- Thanks so much for mentioning me- I certainly have a lot more than 100 things- but I am on a path to live with less, that's true. I love the idea of a conversation about YMOYL when we read it- let's do that! Oh, also- I'm happy to hear your opinion on the layout because I consider you an expert in all of that...<br /><br />Anki- Thanks. It sounds like we're working from the same reading list! Thanks for commenting!<br /><br />Emily- I've heard about that book a few times- I'm putting it on the list right now- thanks!<br /><br />Thanks everyone for commenting!Angelahttp://myyearwithoutspending.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718743594504287977.post-25034443510813779252010-01-13T16:50:31.456-08:002010-01-13T16:50:31.456-08:00Great book picks!

Lots of "food for thought" :-) I'm also reviewing Kingsolvers book in a couple of weeks!Ann-Christinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114711024410210843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718743594504287977.post-21403066994771350692010-01-13T10:28:38.106-08:002010-01-13T10:28:38.106-08:00Hi, Angela.

In fact, I wrote about a friend who is downsizing to 100 things on my blog today and listed you as a resource for simplicity and readers are already thanking me for the recommendation. So I'd say your layout is fine!<br /><br />Let me know when you decide to read "Your Money or Your Life" - it is on my list, too. Maybe we can have a "virtual conversation" about the book and post it on both of our blogs?Betsy Talbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01567850058897989530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718743594504287977.post-58239122297464761092010-01-13T07:25:06.167-08:002010-01-13T07:25:06.167-08:00Hey!

I've actually been thinking more deliberately about my spending and simplifying, so your blog is really helpful. I'm particularly looking forward to when you do the 30-day challenge. I'm currently "training" to do a 100K walk (onedayhike.org) and I do mean 100, not 10. No typo here. I figure it'll be helpful for my own motivation to know other people are challenging themselves physically. Good luck!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00471476473394390483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718743594504287977.post-66925604720393021652010-01-13T06:42:27.676-08:002010-01-13T06:42:27.676-08:00I like your layout.

The lack of bells and whistles is very appealing.<br /><br />I'm really fond of the baby steps challenges and have even followed along on a couple of them, so I'm glad they'll be sticking around. <br /><br />Like Lucy, I also love all the books you mentioned--particularly the Barbara Kingsolver. It reads almost like fiction, it's that good.<br /><br /><br />I'm glad you'll be learning to cook Indian food along with me! I took a short break from it so we wouldn't get burnt out, but I think later this month I'm going to try my hand at chana masala again. I've tried making it before and it's just never turned out quite right.Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16264419866877407201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718743594504287977.post-9262719308288712542010-01-12T17:54:24.374-08:002010-01-12T17:54:24.374-08:00Looking forward to seeing what you have in store f...Looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us this year!<br /><br />All of the books you mentioned are so good--I hope you get to read and enjoy them soon.This Thrifted Lifehttp://thisthriftedlife.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7718743594504287977.post-14222874248874323202010-01-12T15:59:45.160-08:002010-01-12T15:59:45.160-08:00Hi
