Little Change 2 (and 3)

Well, it's Sunday and we all know what that means: it's time for a new little change!!!

*The crowd goes wild!!!!*

Anyway, since I am going on holidays for the better part of the next 2 weeks, the next 2 little changes will be a bit weak. I won't really be home to prepare meals or go to the gym or clean house or do any of that other stuff that needs to be "little changed" so these changes a pretty tame, but still important, or at least I think so. Therefore, without further ado, little change 2:

I will go back on the Pill and take a multivitamin every day.

These things may not seem very important to an outside observer, but they are both a part of the process involved in getting my hair to stop falling out and grow back in. For those who have not been webmd-ing female hair-loss, it can be caused by changes in hormones caused by going off of birth control pills and also by deficiency in certain vitamins (more specifically, vitamin B12 and vitamin E). As well, my husband would really appreciate being able to have sex more often than we do now. And I would like a more secure method of birth control than "pulling out". Even though pulling out is only slightly less effective at preventing pregnancy than condoms. Source

There are some more stories about the Pill, but I will get into that later in the week. On to little change 3! I am going to give you the set up for little change 3 this week because I will be away next Sunday and also because I am excited about it and want to get started today! I have gotten into a little bit of a rut wherein I spend my evenings (and afternoons, let's face it) watching TV. Not that there is anything wrong with that, in fact I LOVE watching TV, but I would like to expand my interests a little bit. Also, I love to read and since I only own the Harry Potter series, I have read those 7 books over and over and over. I still love them, but I want to start seeing other books. I have seen around the internet a list of the Top 100 books that people can't live without created by Guardian and I decided that I should make little change 3:

I will read 1 book from the Guardian "100 Books You Can't Live Without" every week.

I have read some of these books before, but I am going to re-read them for the sake of completeness (and because I liked them). I plan to write a short review of each book as I finish it on the website, just to keep myself motivated and so that I can remember the books after I have finished reading them. I am not a literary scholar, so these will not be indepth reviews discussing themes and character profiles, just my opinion of the story and characters in the book. I was at Coles today and they had classic novels 3 for $10, so I bought 3 books from the list (and got an additional 10% off with my irewards card, so each book was really only $3) and I am going to get started reading them this week while I am on planes and things. Also, I think I have several of these books at my Mom's house, so I will try and pick up as many as I can while I am home. I do not plan to buy everyone of these books, but hopefully will get most of them from the library or friends. The book I am going to start with is (oddly enough) number 1 on the list and one I picked up at the bookstore today: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

Wish me luck on my new changes!
