What a week

-

 I have been so incredibly tired all week and I'm not exactly sure why.    But of course, last night I had energy to burn. Last night I was also working on my tumblers and that definitely helps. I got some sublimation tumblers from China yesterday and they are amazing. The colors are so bright and the lines so crisp. I love, love, love them. 


The "My dog ate my lesson plan" is for a white elephant we are having today. The cat with books is for a coworker. We do this secret hero thing and are supposed to give them something once a month. Well, for the last couple of months I have forgotten so I decided to go big in December. I made her a tumbler and I'm giving here a gift card for Barnes & Noble. I cannot get over how good they look. Almost like I know what I'm doing - HA!!!

So my next hurdle is how to get this business rolling. I want to start selling custom mugs and tumblers but I'm not sure how to get it going. I could post on my Facebook page and just start there. I think I will do that after the party today. I could post my mugs, I love my mugs. But Hubby wants to send one of them to his son and so I don't want to spoil that. Look at my mugs.

Oh, idea, I could post this mug and not the 49er one. Oh wow. Maybe I will. Maybe I'll just start posting the stuff I make and see if anyone bites. I won't push it as a business, but I will be pretty annoying about posting stuff. I'll also make sure it shows up on my Instagram page. So yeah, I'll start there. That also means I need to make more. Which is okay, I love making them, I just have a really hard time deciding what to make. So I'm going to find things that I like and just go from there. I know what I'll do. I will post in the appropriate groups. My murder mugs I'll post in the true crime groups, my dog ones I'll post in the dog groups, etc. Why not? Start spreading my talent around and showing people what I can do. 

Okay, time to wake up Hubby. We have a meeting at school today and then brunch and a white elephant gift exchange. Oh, you should see my other white elephant gift. 

These are freaking adorable. 

So yeah, after the white elephant party, I'm going to post everything I've made and start talking about what I do. There is also a group for teacher's side hustles, I'm going to post in there too. Time to get this rolling. 

I do need to get a better photo set up though.

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.
