What a day!!

-
After reading so many foodie blogs I'm thinking I might become one :)  Interesting take since food has never been a passion of mine - yet I eat a lot of it. Maybe a passion for food will help me because not caring about it certainly hasn't. 

It was a busy day.  Sundays have evolved into long dog walk days.  I really want Axl and Lola to become better walkers and the 20-40 minutes we walk them a night just isn't enough time.  So on Sundays I take Axl out for a 45 min to 1 hour walk, although this morning it was closer to two hours because of the rain, then I come back and get Lola and take her on a 45 minute or so walk.  It's one of my favorite parts of the week but because of the rain Axl and I ended up being out almost 2 hours today.  Once I got Lola done it was time to get ready to go to school for an open house.  I chopped up some veggies and threw them in the crock pot before I left.  I ended up being at school until 3:30. When I got home my crockpot meal was smelling good.  A little house keeping and then I was on the couch exhausted.  Hubby made dinner and I cleaned up the kitchen.  It was overall a good day but I will be in bed early tonight.

I'm also fascinated by foodie blogs, but mostly because what they make and photograph usually looks wonderful, not because I'm going to make any of it.

I've been chatting with a friend about using a crock pot. He's never used one before and is making it out to complicated. I think once he tries it he'll realize what a convenience it can be.

Have a wonderful February!

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.
