Time for a break

-

 Spring break that is. I am so ready for it. After the long weekend, and the weekend of the BBQ, I was just completely exhausted last week. I was not in the mood to do much of anything. Thankfully it was an easy week at school. They had taken a test the week before and most failed miserably, so I had them take a 'retest' with a partner. It was not truly a retest because they could do it with their partners and use their notes, it was just to show me they knew something. Something. They don't, but it was  worth a shot. 

I did nothing in the craft area because I was exhausted. Just tired and worn out all week long, so nothing happened in here. But it's all good because now we are on spring break. Yay. 

Yesterday I didn't do much. Had to take Mavy to the vet, he has a torn ACL and will need surgery but first he has to lose some weight. Then we went to lunch at Four Peaks and I had two beers. I haven't had any beer in weeks, just haven't felt like it, and man those tasted good. Came home, snoozed on the couch because I had 2 beers, did a little decorating on the  patio, and then did a little painting in here. The craft show at the end of the month asks for a donation for their auction to raise money for the museum it's at. I'm working on something that I think will be really cool. At least it was in my mind's eye. I got it painted last night and I'm not sure how it will look. I may change the paint color. I don't know. 

Today we are going to the Aloha Festival. That is always fun. Tomorrow Hubby is golfing so I'll be here all alone. Yay!!! Not sure what I will do, maybe read, maybe craft, maybe both, who knows. All I know is that it will be quiet and I can do whatever I feel like. 

I do have some things I need to get done over the break and I probably should start working on them. I need to have a good inventory of the items I have, that will give me an idea of things I should make. Also, I need to keep track of the things I sell so I can get an idea of what are the big sellers and what aren't. So inventory is high on my list. 

I also need to make my bags. I bought some small, sublimatable bags for when people purchase things. I need to actually get my logo and website on the bag so that I can use them. I also need to make stickers to stick on everything I sell with my name and logo. So I need to spend some time doing things and I need to focus on these things. I want them all done by next weekend so I can focus on making things for the craft fair. I also need to work on my resin technique, I would like to sell resin stuff. 

I have a problem of getting caught in the weeds of things and waste a lot of time on them. So I need to make sure that I get all the things done that I need to. I also need a way to number my inventory so that I know which box holds which item. Oh, and I need to make signs for my booth. Yeah, a lot of things to do. But then I will jump on Facebook and spend an hour scrolling through my groups and getting all kinds of other ideas....yeah, I need to stop that.

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.
