Almost

I almost arose to my alarm this morning, but then hit the snooze. It's difficult to get up when there's snow on the ground, and it's dark outside, especially at the end of March. If I had put my feet on the floor instead of burying them farther under the blankets when the alarm first (or second, third..) sounded, I would have almost had time for breakfast.

Since I did not have time for breakfast, I stopped by Caribou to get my skim, dark chocolate, light on the whip hot cocoa. Towards the end of winter and beginning of spring, I almost have breakfast multiple times a week and end up at Caribou. My stop at Caribou almost left me in an accident. My car slid on the ice, and I almost hit another car.

Today I almost went all day without eating candy from the wonderful school candy stash. As I was getting candy (and almost ignoring it), from the candy drawer, I learned that the person I almost hit was a friend and colleague. This would have been an uncomfortable to quite uncomfortable situation.

It's almost spring break. Tomorrow we have a field trip (thanks J!!) to the Science Museum of Minnesota to see the King Tut exhibit. Typically we go before winter break, but I am excited to quite excited we are going before spring break. Today was the last day teaching classes and things went as smooth (almost smoothly) as one could hope.

Today I give thanks (and not almost)...
1) parent who give great cards and give card three times a year
2) making it to the gym 13x this month even after skipping first (and last) week
3) colleague who gave me copies after I recycled (in someone else's box) the first set

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.
