Family and Fun

-
Well, it's been a busy couple of days. I'm trying to get back into action (not having too much luck) and life is keeping me hopping.

First, the new girl started at work. She is great and I think will work out just fine, but training someone really takes time. She's at the point where she can't really do anything on her own and so I have to stop what I'm doing and tell her and then go back to what I'm doing, very disruptive. But she's doing fantastic and that's the important part. This is the first real, solid action in our moving out of here. This kind of drives it home, we are leaving Hawaii.

Secondly, Hubby's family is in Hawaii!!! Without going into gory detail, there was a little apprehension on my part on seeing them. There was some minor bad blood a few years back and it was kind of never resolved. I was really afraid it would rear it's ugly head. But it didn't and it turned out to be so wonderful to see them. We had a great time. Getting older does have it's up side I guess. You realize grudges aren't worth it. So that was fun, we had a total blast and I wish we could have spent some more time with them. But, with moving back to the mainland we'll get to see them more.

I was really proud of myself at dinner last night. I had one drink, a mojito, one spring roll, one piece of sushi, and for dinner a half order of salmon. It was good and I was pleased with my choices. I figure the entire dinner was only 13 points. Sweet!! Turns out I didn't even need any Phentermine no prescription or anything. Cool!!!

Well, another morning without working out. I'm not even going to try starting until Saturday. Then we'll see what happens. I'm not going to push it but I'm definitely starting to feel ready again. Yay!!!

Well, I need to get ready for work. I have to be there before the new girl - bleeh!!!

As I read your post, I can still hear the class room on the other side of my wall going on. Each month we train all our new employees for 40 hours. Then they get training every day in the clubs to get better at what they do.

Glad the family thing went well. Kind of the same thing when my bro was in town over the 4th, the family has some issues with his and wifes parenting skills and it often gets...dramatic. But it went pretty well even with a few hiccups

Good to hear the family visit went so well!

It's hard to train someone, but from all accounts it appears she's going to work out just fine.

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.
