My Daily Journal – Beginning of 2016

Posted on January 1, 2016 by Donna Davenport

January 1, 2016

Yesterday was a pleasant day. We went to see The Hateful Eight at Starplex and ran several errands in towns that we needed to get done.

IMDB – The Hateful Eight

Today we plan to see The Big Short at Starplex.

IMDB – The Big Short

I had been thinking of something new to add to my blog and decided that I would do a daily blog and call it My Daily Journal. I thought it would keep me more accountable to my blog on a daily bases.

Well, today is a new day and new year which always comes with new promises that I will make to myself for the year, like losing more weight and getting out of debt. These two goals will require for me to change on a daily basis because neither of these things are easy for me.

I weighed myself this morning so I will be committing myself to my Nutrisystem Meals and getting on the Elliptical each day. Based on my weight this morning, I would like to lose 42 more pounds.

To Join Nutrisystem

The debt will require me to make payments and stop using my cards. I will need to be much more selective on what I’m spending money on. I will need to keep reminding myself on the rewards of financial freedom, no debt.

Books 2012 – 2015

Posted on December 31, 2015 by Donna Davenport

I had a wonderful opportunity to be a part of a book club, that I qualified for by answering several essay questions and committed to participate in the author chats. I took a trip in February 2013 to Calfornia for The Black Box by Michael Connelly. I thought the book Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor, was an intriguing fantasy story. I reading the sequel that released shortly after I read the first book, Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor. The first chat was on Facebook with Laini Taylor and several bookclub members and fans on November 28, 2012. The Chat was scheduled for an hour which went by fast while trying to read others questions and Laini’s answers. I had the opportunity to have several of my questions answered. The second chat on Facebook was about Flight Behavior with Barbara Kingsolver on January 16, 2013. The third chat was about The Black Box with Michael Connelly on February 16, 2013 in Los Angeles, California where I had the opportunity to meet him in person. The fourth author’s chat on Facebook was about When It Happens To You by Molly Ringwald on March 14, 2013. The archive of the chats with Laini Taylor, Barbara Kingsolver and Michael Connelly, and Molly Ringwald are no longer available. The Official Sony Reader has a Facebook page: Sony Reader Store on Facebook Stay up-to-date on new releases, book/author discussions, special Reader Store offers, new store features, and support. http://readerstore.sony.com

Unfortunately, Sony Reader Store will closing their digital doors in the U.S. and Canada on March 20, 2014 at 6 p.m. (EST). Reader Store will transfer customers to Toronto-based eReading company, Kobo—an admired eBook seller with a passionate reading community. Although, Sony Reader Store will be closing their doors, I am thankful for the opportunity I had with the VIP Reader Club. I enjoyed meeting Michael Connelly, socializing with new reader friends and the opportunity to go to California.

Sony Readers Book Club Chat: The Black Box by Michael Connelly

I had the opportunity to meet Michael Connelly at a special event provided for Sony VIP Reader Members in Los Angeles, California on February 16, 2013. He talked to us about the book and we were able to ask him questions. He autographed my reader cover that was also given to me by Sony for being chosen to be a Sony VIP Reader Member. I felt very excited and honored to meet Michael Connelly. I have more pictures of the event: Sony Readers Book Club Chat: The Black Box by Michael Connelly

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

In December 7, 2012 Entertainment Weekly magazine, Reese Witherspoon wrote an article on Gillian Flynn’s Book, Gone Girl. She was mesmerize by the suspenseful story. She found that it was one of those books that unfolded in such an addictive way that she didn’t want to stop reading it. She had realized the author had written another addictive book about a crime in middle America called Dark Places. She made the opportunity to have lunch with Gillian Flynn, having the opinion that Gillian Flynn was going to be a dark, complicated, brooding crime novelist who would talk with her about unsolved crime in America. To her surprise and disappointment, Gillian was not dark, Gillian Flynn is a lovely, intelligent mother and wife. During the lunch she was pleased to learn that that Gillian loves talking about unsolved crimes. Reese Witherspoon realized that is why the heroine Amy Dunn is mesmerizing because Amy is nice and normal at first but later is revealed to be dark. Witherspoon is a producer on the planned film adaptation of Gone Girl. Reece Witherspoons article on EW.com on November 20, 2012: Gillian Flynn: 2012 Entertainers of the Year

David Fincher reportedly in talks to direct ‘Gone Girl’ movie

Article by Rob Brunner, January 22, 2013 on EW.com

David Fincher reportedly in talks to direct Gone Girl movie on EW.com

David Fincher is in early talks to tackle the project, which is being produced by Reese Witherspoon. There’s no word yet on whether Reece will also appear in the film. Flynn, a former Entertainment Weekly TV critic, is writing the screenplay. If Fincher does end up signing on the timing of the project is unclear, since the director is already reportedly attached to a 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea movie and might still take on Girl With the Dragon Tattoo sequel The Girl Who Played With Fire.

As of March 13, 2013, Gone Girl continues to be a top seller at Barnes and Nobles, Amazon and Audible.

Watch Imdb for Movie Status of Gone Girl, will hit theaters October 3, 2014.

IMDb – Gone Girl

Gone Girl

Gone Girl, starring Ben Affleck and Rosamund, releases October 3, 2014 in theaters. Based on the mystery thriller book and screenplay written by Gillian Flynn. Ben Affleck captivates as Nick Dunne, a man who reports that his wife (Pike) of five years is missing and becomes the prime suspect in her disappearance.

Another one of Gillian Flynn’s Books, Dark Places was made into a movie, it was released June 18, 2015 as a Directv Cinema. The movie can be rented at Directv Cinema and Amazon Instant Video.

Real Techniques Perfecting Brush Set

January 30, 2015

Started Nutrisystem Fast Five, food for a week in a box that we purchased at Sam’s Club. The claim is that I will lose 5 pounds in a week. I had enrolled in Nutrisystem before I started on the Fast Five so that I would have the food delivered to continue with Nutrisystem once I finished the Fast Five box. I’m not ready to post my actual starting weight yet but I will share my progress as I go. I am overweight and I have a lot of weight to loss so this will be a major commitment. I need to drink at least 8 glasses of water and do 30 minutes of activity. I will get on the elliptical for 30 minutes a day.

January 31, 2015

Received my Nutrisystem order. I got a special deal, I will receive 28 days of food every month plus 3 week of food free divided over the first three month deliveries.

August’s Listers Gotta List

I’ve changed the way I’m doing my Listers Gotta List Challenge. After watching the Reset Girl’s Video using the 1Canoe2 Planner for her List Challenge for August, I decided to use the same planner to decorate my August list in a similar fashion. She uses project life journal cards and die cuts. I used journal cards, cut scrapbook paper into journal cards, die cuts and printables.

1Canoe2 Geometric Planner

The Planner comes in three different covers: Floral Planner, Geometric Planner and Mint Planner. I purchase the Geometric Planner for my Listers Gotta List Challenge.
