Well, that didn't go as planned

-

 I did set my intentions for last week and I even set up my planner with those intentions, but then I didn't exactly follow through. I didn't record my food at all. I can't help but wonder why that is so hard to get going? It's not a difficult task. It doesn't take but a minute or two. So why can't I seem to do that? Probably because it's just not that critical to me. I need to make it more important. I'll work on that. 

Workouts were good though not as many as I wanted. I went on Monday. I didn't go on Tuesday because of Science Bowl and they were having a great time. I went on Wednesday. I didn't go on Thursday because it was Constitution night and I didn't get home until after 9pm. I didn't go on Friday because I had to get up early for senior sunrise (hiking at 5:30am) and frankly was just exhausted from Thursday night. Then I didn't go yesterday because we had to go check out the kennels where we will be leaving Mavy next weekend. So yeah, not as much as I had planned. 

I did find a marketing course for makers that I bought into. I really think that the key to my not selling much is the marketing. I don't know how to do it and so I need someone to explain it all to me. This lady has a good system and really nothing I haven't heard before, but she lays it out in easy to follow steps. She also covers things like branding and email lists and all that stuff I haven't even considered. It's going to be some work to get things going, but I'm excited to finally have a road map of how to do it. They also have a Facebook group so we can ask questions and get more help if we need. I'm excited about this and really going to dive into it and make it work. I want this little business to be successful and I will do whatever it takes to make that happen. 

School was really good this week. I spent some time last weekend really working on school work. I decided that what I was doing wasn't working and I needed to change things around. So I did. And wow was this week great. I was much better mentally and things went really, really well. Going to keep up the changes. 

Okay, off to get the day started.

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.
