  2. Happy Friday! I recently got a FitBit and have been working on closing my rings as well. I should have read Malibu Rising when we were there haha. I'm planning on finishing my book this weekend and need another one to read. Would you recommend it?

  3. You did a good. Coffee dates are the best! Here I thought I was going to be reading tons of books while I am recovering and I have not even picked up one yet. Have the best weekend!

  4. You did great on your goals! Especially updating your links, that's a hard one! I made it to 201 days of closing my rings, and then got vertigo and couldn't move, and out the window went 201 days, I was so sad!
