So , here's the deal....

I've thought about it for few days now. I've given it serious consideration and I have made a decision. I know, I seem to make decisions all the time and then change my mind. You know why I do that?? I get scared! There, it's out, and now everyone knows. I get scared. The thought of doing somethings really scare the hell out of me. Silly things. Things you folks do all the time. Scare the bejeezus out of me. I have to force myself to step outside my comfort zone and do a lot of the things you read about here. You would not believe how hard somethings are for me to do. But, that's not what this post is about.

I've decided to buy the Fuji.
It's not a top end bike but I think it will do me nicely for awhile. The best part is it's Pink!!! I'm not sure when I'm going to get it. I may go this weekend - I don't know. If I wait too long I will change my mind. $1,000 is not the end of the world but it is a lot of money. I usually talk myself out of spending that much money on myself. I plan on using my blogging money to pay for it so it's not like I'm spending household money to buy it. Anyway, I'll let you know what happens.

If I do get it this weekend I will definitely be doing the century ride at the end of September. I want to do that ride, and have for years. If I get this bike I will be doing the 50 mile option. If I don't get this bike I'll be doing the 25 mile option. So we shall see.

You're not alone in forcing yourself to do things. I am the same way. And after I do force myself out of my comfort zone, I find that I am glad I did.

I love the bike! I hope you get it really, really soon!!

Good luck on just deciding! I'm terrible with that myself. The bike looks very nice though! Once you get it, you won't regret it.

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.
