We are adding new ways for you to participate here at Work It, Mom! all the time!
Tomorrow, I am starting a weekly feature here called What Are You Reading? And I am going to talk about what I read (um, mostly schlock), and see if I can get recommendations from all of you. Then we can compile a list of great books here that we can all share!
Are any of you interested in joining a book club? I am going to start a group that is a very general book club Most Excellent Work It, Mom! book club, and hopefully, with enough interest and participation, we can break this down along genres: fiction, non-fiction, mystery, romance, sci-fi/fantasy.

On another note (but it relates in that it has to do with us, as working moms, taking care of ourselves), I am also starting an exercise/diet group called I Can Be Fitter, Dammit! (Oh, who am I kidding– I want to be thinner!) I think of it as a potential support group for me, LOL. I can’t be the only one who is finding losing weight to be a serious challenge, and who can’t work in exercise every day! But I have started making small changes, and I am starting to see results. I think we can help each other by sharing what works, what doesn’t, and by confessing when we mess up (oops, did I really go to Taco Bell at 1:00 a.m. the other day with my husband after karaoke? Um, yes, yes, I did), and getting back in the saddle.
So, I hope you’ll come and check out (and join!) these groups and take a little “you” time in the bargain!

Both these groups sound like great additions to the community, Jen! I’m always reading, and am pretty sure to sign up for the book club. I’m also a Weight Watchers lifetime member, so I know the challenges in that arena too.

I’m in! I love both ideas, and I’ve signed up. So.. um.. why don’t I show up on the membership list for either??
Hey, Florinda - I joined WW a few months ago, and I’m LOVING it. Finally, a system and a framework!!
My husband recently commented to me, “Give you a framework, and you can do ANYTHING.”
I think he’s right. (He often is, wonderful man that he is. Heh.)

I’m still not showing in the groups which means I can’t respond in the comment sections! ARGH!!
Could you ask your tech people about this, pretty please?

MaryP - are you using Firefox? I have had trouble joining groups when I use Firefox. When I logged in thru IE it registered me as a member of the group just fine.
