1st week of the new year

-

It kind of didn't. I didn't have any super specific goals for this week - which was the problem - and so I guess you could say I met them. My foot was really bothering me, so I didn't go to Crossfit until Wednesday. We did take 2 road trips which were fun. I joined a teacher club, which has some great information about making teaching more manageable, I'm looking forward to getting into that more. I got some work done on my lesson plans - still a lot more to do though. I did not walk much. I did not get any dissertation work done. And I watched far, far too much TV. But I'm not upset about those things. They were conscious choices I made at the time and I really am okay with most of it. Sometimes I fell asleep and didn't plan to, but that's okay. Today will be busy though. I have Crossfit in the morning. Then I have to weigh and measure for the nutritional challenge that starts tomorrow. Then I have to go get my hair done - I'm very excited about that. I have a color that I am really hoping they can do. Then I'm going to school for a while to make copies and get things ready for Monday. Before I do that though, I need to lay out what I'm doing next week. I have the units laid out already, it is just a matter of putting the information into the days so I know what I'm doing when. That shouldn't take too long. I just have to decide what order to go in and what to do when.

So, today needs to be productive. I probably should make a to-do list so that I don't forget anything. I would really like to get everything done today, that way I have the weekend free to work on my dissertation. I also need to come up with a schedule/plan for my dissertation that I can stick to. And I have to figure out how to pay Walden some money. This is all fun stuff. A little stressful, but nothing serious. So I'm going to start by making a to-do list so that I am productive today.

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.
