Another Week has gone by

-

 It was a good week and there is only one more week until spring break. Yes!! I know that it is not the best thing to be so looking forward to the breaks and weekends like I do. I really do enjoy my job and I need to focus on that more. My job just got a little more enjoyable this week as one student who was a complete and total pain in the a*s dropped out. Thank God. Seriously. He changed the entire vibe of the classroom. He was a complete jerk. He thought he was cute and charming and he wasn't. He would go around talking to other scholars when he was supposed to be working on something. I had to sit him alone to get anything in class done. Anyway, he's gone and things have gotten so much better in that class. 

I made it to the gym on Monday. Tuesday I came straight home. Wednesday I forgot my gym clothes. And yesterday was open house so I didn't get home until almost 9pm. So I did not have the great week at the gym that I had last week. But that's okay. The road to success is often bumpy and hilly and rarely smooth and straight. 

I have a decent size whiteboard above my desk and I really haven't used it much. I was just staring at it and realized I should put my to-do list, or more correctly my want-to-do list, up there so I can see it. I think I will. 

I need to get my business selling stuff and I'm seriously not sure how to do it. I've joined groups, I've read and watched videos, I've done all kinds of things and I just can't seem to get traction with selling my stuff. I can't seem to find that one thing that will just take off. I'm sure it's because I'm really all over the place with stuff. But I need to find that one thing that will sell well. Maybe I'll just do some simple things. Maybe I'll just make a few monogram signs. I don't know. I just don't know. I do know that I'm supposed to be doing a fair tomorrow and I'm not going. I'm just not up for the rejection I will get there. I have the opportunity for a few more fairs and I'm still thinking on them. I need to make a decision. I need to figure out what I'm going to do with this business. Am I going to keep at it or am I going to just give it up? It's been over a year and I haven't really made any money at it. How long do I keep going? 

Okay, enough of this. I get too depressed if I dwell on it too long. I'll figure it out.

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.
