Blogging is dying????

-
I know that blogging has died out for many, many people and some only do it sporadically now, but I've been pretty consistent for 12 years. 12 years of my life is basically chronicled here. So much has changed in 12 years. We lived at the ranch then and I worked in the lab. Now I'm a teacher with almost a Ph.D. and we are living in Arizona. Hubby is semi-retired and life is really good. I always wonder about people who plan out their life in detail. I never had a plan. Most of the time I didn't know what I was working towards or where I was going. But I have friends who have every aspect of their life planned; when and how many kids they will have; jobs they will have; where they will live; etc. I've pretty much rolled with the punches and think I've done pretty well for myself. I haven't done things when others have, but I have a lot of experiences that others never get. I've worked at a number of different places and made a ton of friends all over the place. I've gotten degrees and learned things others never will. While I think sometimes, that I wish I had done X or Y, I realize that my life would have been very different and I'm not sure I'd want to change it. Yes, I wish I had done some things different, but overall I'm very happy with the way my life turned out. Okay, not exactly sure where this came from, but there you have it. One thing I have learned over 12 years is that this thing can be very therapeutic if I let the words just come. I have discovered lots about myself by just letting the writing flow. I have also found answers to some complex problems by just writing. I've been thinking a lot lately about my life and where it's gone and where it's going and I think that is where this all came from. We have made a huge life change and I guess it's natural to reflect on it at times. Moving on.....

So I finally got over being sick, but going back to work after a week off took its toll. I was tired and cranky all week. I hope I get over that this weekend. I don't like feeling like that. I had plans to just force myself to workout last week. Treadmill in the morning, bike to and from work, Crossfit. But it just didn't quite work out. My foot bothered me after Monday and I was just completely exhausted all day Tuesday. Not sure what to do at this point, but I need to work out more. So I'm thinking about that. I know that it will hurt and I'll be tired initially. But I also know that I will get over that and the energy will come. So I need to find a balance to get through the initial exhaustion stage. I'm working on that. Today will be a fun filled day. We are going to the dog park this morning. Then it is off to a farmer's market to check it out. Then the pet expo in Tolleson. After that it's home to get some things done around here. My goal today is to get things done and not take a nap. Wish me luck.

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.
