Cold

It freaking freezing here!!!! I got up this morning and it was 70 F. That means it probably dropped into the upper 60's overnight. Yikes!!!!

Yeah, yeah, I know....... snow... blah...blah..... ice..... blah....blah..... raining...... temps in the 20's blah....blah..... blah......

If you look over at my profile, yeah, I don't live in those places. I live in Hawaii and therefore will whine like a baby when the temps fall below 80. Spoiled??? Absolutely!!!!!

Anyway, it's our first cold snap of the season and it's tough. I busted out the sweats and long sleeved shirts last night. It was extra blankets on the bed. When the alarm went off this morning I just couldn't do it. Well, also, I was really tired last night. Bone tired. Not sure what that's all about but thought a sleep in would be a good thing.

Okay, that's it. Inspite of the unreasonable cold weather, I must go to work. I'm such a trooper :)

I had a hissy fit when it dropped down to the low 40's here in Florida last week. Now we are back up to 80 and humid. Crazy crazy

Totally know how you feel. And it's hard because stores aren't stocked with the latest cold weather workout gear, right?

Same thing here in Florida. We'll make it somehow. :)

I know what you mean! My wife is from Hawaii and when it's below 70 she puts on a sweater. We were vising friends in Maui one year and it was down to 68 and they broke out the brand new electric blankets for us! I had to laugh as what I really wanted an electric fan! We were in Honululu for New Year's eve a few years back and I was in shorts and a t-shirt and thought it a bit muggy and hot. The in-laws were of course trying to find me a jacket to wear. Enjoy being spoiled!

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.
