Miss Hazel


I've been reading Miss Hazel and the Rosa Parks League, and it's been driving me crazy.  As I've been reading, I felt it was the same as View from Delphi.  When I did my initial search, I couldn't prove my suspicions.  Obviously, I didn't really search because it is mentioned on the Amazon page, "... a brilliant reimagining and republication of Jonathan Odell's debut novel..."  I'm not one who typically rereads novels, and I'm not sure I would have reread this one if I had known in advance.  Even with that being said, once I gave up on worrying about it being a republication, I enjoyed the novel.  After I added it to good reads and starred it, I looked to see what I had starred View from Delhi.  It makes me feel good that my rating was equal to the first time.  At least I'm consistent.  The other consistency is both books were finished in March.


Today I give thanks for...
1) healthy teeth
I spent the day with a friend who had some surgery and bone grafts (teeth related).
2) helpful customer service
I called and was able to rebundle my Comcast and save money.
I also witnessed a super patient receptionist while I was waiting for friend in surgery.
3) time to read
It's always a good way to spend an afternoon.

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.
