It's been a week

-

 Let's start with the show last weekend. It was actually pretty good. There were not as many vendors as I thought there would be but it was a decent turnout. Did a bit of business, made back my booth fee anyway. And I got to see a couple of Swissys, Ruckus and Gilly. It was so, so good to see some Swissys. I miss my Bella so badly. I love Maverick, but Bella was something special. I think we will be getting a Swissy in the next few years and I think it will be the only dog. Hopefully we can get it at the beginning of summer and be able to spend some time with it and train it before we have to leave it alone. Whatever, it will work out one way or the other. 

So today I'm in full getting ready for the next show mode. That is tomorrow. I got a lot of things to engrave and need someway to display them. So I think that means a trip to At Home today. I made something but I don't know.... I want things to look nice. Weird I know. I'm making things and hoping people will buy them but I don't want to use things I've made to display stuff. I get the contradictions. 

I've said this before and I'll say it again, I need to spend time on my social media during the week. I have fully come to accept that cutting and painting is generally out of the question after work. I'm too tired and if I worked out it's pretty late. So that is out. But every night I spend at least an hour on my iPad or computer playing games. I could spend that time lining up my social media. Facebook has a planner so I can schedule posts in advance and not have to do them every night, but I just need to do it. I also need to work on my email list. I have to build that up and get some people on it. At the fair last weekend I completely ignored my email sign up. I just spaced it. So tomorrow that is my focus. 

Yeah, so it's all about getting ready for tomorrow today. I'm excited and hopefully this will be a good show.

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.
