X is for X-Ray

Yesterday, in preparation for today's trip to visit my brother and today's blog of 'X', I sent my brother a text asking if he would be willing to break a bone while I was visiting him in Okoboji. My plan was simple. He breaks a bone. We go to the emergency room. I take a picture and post a blog of our adventures. Brilliant! This morning he called questioning my plan. "Why don't you write about X-Ray Spex?" he asked. "I don't know X-Ray Spex," I answered. "Yes you do. They sang Ballroom Blitz," he provided. Although it was not a stellar plan like the broken bone and X-ray, I asked him to send me the link.

This is what I received.
I was wrong. the glam rock band, Sweet, plays Ballroom Blitz. I was thinking of the punk rock band the X-Ray Spex who are also famous and sing the following song which may or may not be appropriate for you blog: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogypBUCb7DA.

There isn't necessarily an appropriate or not appropriate for my blog. I'm not even sure that Ballroom Blitz is a better video, but I am going to use a the video for my graphic. Feel free to watch both Ballroom Blitz and Oh Bondage! Up Yours! (It's not surprising that I didn't know X-Ray Specs.) Actually you may choose to skip the videos today!

I like your original plan. With the bone breaking and the X ray. Family members need to get on board with this blogging challenge. Support, don't thwart. That's my new motto, which I myself invented.

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.
