Christmas break to do list

-

It's only the first day of break and I'm already behind on my to-do list. aaarrrrgggghhhhhh!! No, seriously though. Saturday I allowed as a day to completely decompress. Interesting, at my old school I used to take 3-4 days to decompress and I always felt like I was getting sick at the beginning of break. Not so at this school. One day to decompress and no sick feeling. Hmmmm...anyway, so Saturday was a complete down day. Yesterday was supposed to be productive but we ended up spending most of the day getting a new TV. Between trips to 3 different stores. Two sojourns over the hill. A final trip to the local mall....it was set up. It is so much better and was worth every second and every penny but it basically ate up the entire day. Today however, I need to get and be productive. The problem is there are things battling for top position on my to-do list. I have to have my prospectus in by next week - so I need to work on that - but this house is a freaking disaster and just walking through it drives me crazy - I need to work on that. So, how am I going to handle this. Well, I am going to head to Crossfit in a few minutes. After that I would like to get a haircut and then dye my hair later, but that can wait - I can do that any day this week or next even. So I think I'll come home and start cleaning. I'll vacuum, the dog hair is overwhelming, do laundry, and do a little straightening up. Then I will work on my paper. I think that is a good plan because every time I walk through the house I see all the stuff that needs doing. I need to remove some of it from my sight. Also, if I start cleaning and am inspired, I can keep cleaning. I have all day to clean and work on my paper. There is no time limit on when things have to be done....I'm on break :)

Okay, enough of this nonsense, I need to get ready for Crossfit.

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.
