Study of Books I'm Reading

My little blog readers, this is what I'm currently reading:



Hey Ape, have you read this book? What about you Mom?

I'm into it 130 pages, and so far so good.

I haven't read a book in a while. I've been watching way to much of TV, and waisting time. So, I've decided to utilize my time, and read a book instead. Even though, I'm not really producing anything, at least my mind is being exercised right? When I'm done, I'll tell you all about it.

Now, while I'm on the subject of books, I really enjoy this author's writing. Granted, all of her books seem to have the same story-line theme, I still really enjoy them. I feel like she puts facts into what she's writing. Instead of just reading a story, you get gain some knowledge as well.

Especially this one:



What I really enjoyed was the different point of views you get throughout. It's written in 1st person, but it's 1st person between 5 people. So, every chapter you change who's point of view you are getting.

It's too bad I didn't hate this book. That way, I could have actually have something to say about it. But, I don't. I really enjoyed it. So, you should read it.

The people who post on amazon.com, write reviews. Check both books out here and here.

Study of Half Marathons

Here is what Ashley Dasher (that's me, after April 5th, 2008) will be doing Saturday April 19th, 2008:



I registered for the half-marathon. It's 130 days from now.

My goal is to run it in at LEAST 2 hours 36 mins. That's a 12min. mile the entire time. If I'm in the back of the bunch, so what?

Time to start the training process.

I'm excited. :-D

The Study of Friday

I picked up some fabric from IKEA on their clearance isle. It was 99 cents.

Here it was at 4:10PM, today.



With the help of my sewing machine, thread, and a little imagination 1 hour and 30 mins later, it turned into this.



Then, because of my latest creation, I gave Kronk a kiss.

Study of Project Runway's

Everyone gather around, I have something to tell you.

I have grown a liking for, Project Runway. But, did you know there is another Project Runway?

Project Runway, CANADA!

My favorite designer = Marie Geneieve. Check out her gallery here. What I like most about her designs is she always uses colors. Nothing wrong with colors. I also like Lucian. His gallery is here.

I'll take Iman hosting this show over, Heidi Klum anyday. I know, it's not the entire point of the show, but it's great for entertainment purposes. I just like how Iman talks, and says what she really thinks. "You missssssssed that!"

This show inspires me. I know, it's just a silly reality tv show. I want to design clothing. I have pretty much everything I need, so I should quit procrastinating and do something about it.

Season 4 of Project Runway (the US Version), is also great too. I haven't really picked who I like the most. I'm sure I'll swing in on the blog and tell you all about it.

You know what else? JJ likes watching this show with me. He even has input. Now, if I could just have him give me input when I go shopping, that would be awesome.

Wondering how to watch it? Download? Yup. Do it. Break the law!

Study of Buddies

I like to keep my road rage, G-rated.

I also like to give people nicknames, while driving. However, it's only a specific name I use. Everyone on the road is my "buddy".

"Move it, buddy!" "Come on, buddy!" "Learn how to drive, buddy!" "Nice turn signal, buddy!"

How I wonder, could someone that is pissing me off turn into my automatic "buddy"?

Study of Things and More Things

I know what you're thinking. "Nice blog Ash. Thanks for keeping us updated."

Do I always admit I'm a lazy blogger? It's kind of a redundant apology, and for that I apologize, for apologizing to much.

Anywho.... who is excited for Christmas?

Your not? Yeah, I'm not that excited either. Maybe I should put up my Christmas lights, and wrap a present or two to get me in the mood. I should be knitting some presents, but I just don't want to really make anything this year. Call me lazy.

But, who is excited to see what I did to my apartment? I am! You should be too!

It's just too bad I don't have the photos to show you just yet. Yes, I realize I ripped that ugly wallpaper off about 1.5 months ago, and I still haven't taken a good photo of what I put in place of it. But, I will. I will. I will. Soon. Like, tonight perhaps?

Moving on..

April 5th, 2008 is the official date JJ and I will be hitched. It's going to be small and quaint. Small = immediate families only. Remember this post? Well, I figure if I make it small, I might actually enjoy my own wedding.

So, that's basically it for my update. Yes, I'll post those pictures.

Oh, one more thing. I decided to start training for a 10K. That's 6.2 miles. Then, after I get up to that, I'll start training for a 1/2 marathon (that's 13 miles) then, on Saturday, April 19, 2008, 7:00am I'll run the 1/2 marathon at the Salt Lake City Marathon. Then, I'll get a tattoo that said I finished. Alright, that part was just a joke.

How about I go register right now, so I don't back out.

Sound like a good plan? I think so.
