Much better

-

 So yesterday was much, much better than the rest of the week. After writing my post, I showered, walked Mavy and headed off for the gym. I pushed myself a little at the gym, which was awesome. I did a warm-up set. Then did my first set at the weight I did last time (thankfully I keep a book). If that was too easy, I went up the next set. If that was sufficiently hard, I stayed there. It was great. On every movement, by the few reps of the last set I was struggling. And that is a good thing. I woke up this morning pleasantly sore. Tomorrow will be leg day and that I'm going to do here at home. Last week I did squats and lunges and was dying for days. So that's what I'm going to do tomorrow. The only thing is that I can't use the bike to warm up here. Maybe I will scoot off to the gym for an hour. It won't be the end of the world. In fact, it would probably be a good thing. 

Don't have much more to say. Got a lot of things done yesterday. Went shopping for my Christmas gifts. Oh yeah. This is the first time in many years that I am actually doing Christmas gifts for some people. I'm making them stuff as I'm working on perfecting my crafting technique and growing my business. But I'm actually quite excited about the gifts I'm making. For my science department, I'm doing mugs with hot cocoa sayings on the side and then hot chocolate and candy in them. For my science bowl girls, I'm making them tumblers and socks and earrings. Yesterday I stopped at Five Below (my new favorite store) and got gift wrapping stuff. Also, they have a candy carousel that you can pick and choose your candy from, so I was able to get a variety of little candies to put in the cups. Then I went to Michael's and got some card stock so I can make the cards/tags on my laser printer. I'm very excited about today and tomorrow because I'm going to be doing all that stuff. Very exciting stuff. I also purchased a photo box to take good photos of the things I create. Trying to find a space that doesn't have a crappy background and has the right lighting was ridiculous. Michael's had one on sale so I decided to pick it up. I need to start building a portfolio of things I've made. Now I need to get a cup spinner - maybe. Oh, yeah, I'm supposed to go pick up some wood pieces this morning. I think I'll do it on my way out to Heritage. Or maybe I'll do it earlier and have Hubby go with. Just to be safe. Okay, got to run. Going to start wrapping my things for heating. I'm off.

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.
