Because it really is all about me.

Today I've decided to entertain you with a little of my life.

First, there are a couple of things I absolutely hate. Grocery shopping. Doing laundry. Doing dishes. Getting gas. To me these things are the biggest waste of time because you have to do them over and over and over and over......... They are never done.

Second, I'm a lab rat. I say that in the most loving way. Anyway who has ever worked in a lab will know what I mean. You feel like a rat sometimes running around in a maze.

In lab work the one seemingly constant is dishes. Easily 1/3 of my day revolves around dishes. Using, washing, moving, putting away, breaking. It truly is never ending. My husband laughs at me cause I hate doing dishes so much yet have a job where that's a large part of my day. Other than the dishes, I love my job.

So what was delivered to the lab this morning???? A dishwasher!!! We got a little portable Kenmore with a cutting board top. It's so cute and so much better than doing dishes by hand. I got it all hooked up and ready to go. Then loaded it with everything I could find and it still wasn't full. Yeah. My endless days of dishes are over. I'm so excited.

Okay, back to work. I have to go unload the dishwasher - ugh!!!!

You can use a dishwasher. I'm SO jealous. We have to acid wash everything.

Go Kenmore!!!!

I'd rather do the acid wash, I HATE unloading any dishwasher.

Isn't that funny...we HATE doing the ishes, but when we get a dishwasher...we hate loading and unloading the thing?!
Kind of like the micro wave... Why does it take an entire 2 MINUTES to heat a burrito? Enternity!!!! ;)

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young...

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien...

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
