Technology

If the truth were known, I would be lost without modern technology. The truth is I am also lost with it or in it. Since I forgot the power cord to my computer, I have been alternating between my father's computer (without his knowledge or permission) and my computer. I now only have 35% left on my computer, so we'll see if the word document (hopefully with graphics) I tend to prepare on his computer opens on mine later. I have spent the majority of the afternoon on these two computers with little to show.

I also spent a good fifteen to twenty minutes trying to figure out my father's Direct TV only to realize when I was able to get channels that nothing was worth watching. It will be interesting to see how long it takes my friend and I to figure out the dvd player later.

While I've been in front of a screen, I've managed to ignore the bag full of papers that need corrected. Although the students have done the steps of the writing process, I still dread reading the final draft. Monday when they ask for their graded papers, I'll probably say, "Well, you had a two weeks to write them; I'll need a week to grade them. Oh yes, this is pathetic, but it is probably also the truth.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa .  "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal."  My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active.  Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside.  December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity.  I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food).  Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country .  President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" .  Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group.  The...

What if... The Delivery

  Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska.  When she opened the box, she was confused.  Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag.  When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun.  She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind.  During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt.  When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird.  The friend was in a state of denial.  Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments.  She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt.  After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened.  The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
