2014 has arrived

-

The year of the horse begins on January 31st. It is going to be a great year.

Last night was a little wild. People here spend so much money on fireworks, it is unbelievable. I've been through 23 new years here and I still can not get over it. I wish I had that kind of money to burn. Literally... Anyway, makes it fun for me to watch without spending a dime.

Yesterday ended up being pretty good. A couple of things happened that have added some possibilities to the new year. Turns out Hubby knows the person in charge of hiring at Damien. That's really good. Also, an ad was posted yesterday on Craigslist that is exactly the kind of thing I want to do with Ph.D. I am sending the application off today and keeping my fingers crossed. I was going to send it yesterday, but since 2013 wasn't all that hot to begin with, I decided to wait and try the luck of the new year. Fingers crossed.

Yesterdays eating didn't go as well as planned. I ended up having some cookies and cookie butter in the late afternoon. That was probably due to the fact that I only had breakfast at 11, and then nothing else. Really need to break that habit. But, I will. I only have a few more days left at home and then it's back to school and routine. I'm looking forward to getting things started though. Our traditional new years breakfast is eggs benedict and mimosas. After that, I am done with eating like that. I'm going strict paleo, for at least a couple of weeks. I need to get a handle on things and the only for me to do it is to get strict with myself.

Today though, I have things due. So I will be busy working on school work, both schools. Here's to an awesome year.

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.
