Father's Day Coup

Look at my facial expression... Maybe I was coming up with a similar plan.

Father's Day is tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll post about my great dad.  Today, however, I would like to post about my ingenuity.  I have pulled off (well, almost, he's not here yet) the Father's Day Coup.  When I was little my dad read to me which made me smart, allowing me to "think outside the box".  My cupboard hinges are loosening to the point that merely using the drill to put the screws back doesn't necessarily work.  The ceiling fan in my bedroom doesn't operate well on high speed which is problematic since I don't like to run the AC (although I am today for my dad).  Financial statements (retirement.. will it ever happen?) overwhelm me.  All of these things are too difficult for me yet easy for my dad.  A couple of weeks ago I devised a plan in my head although I wasn't sure if it would be feasible.  When I was talking to my dad on the phone, I told him I had a wonderful idea for Father's Day.  We could hang out at my place!  He could help me with a list of things I needed to get done, and I could cook for him (or take him out for meals).  It seemed like the perfect Father's Day to me.  Genius!  My dad is coming today and tomorrow to help me around the house... for FATHER'S Day... Seriously!  Does it get any better than this?

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.
