Boring and/or Excuses


It seems my life is boring to quite boring.  I've been meaning to blog all week, but I haven't.  My excuses come in two forms.  The first is my boring life which is followed by lack of photos.  Tonight I decided to add something.  Perhaps a refresh of the return to work.

1) I posted a complete lie about calling in sick to work on Friday.  When I post this craziness, I know that most people know it's a lie, but I also wonder who thinks I'm stupid for posting that I'm calling in online.  Actually, I did it because I colleague posted about being at Lambeau next week for all to see and followed it up by calling in sick on Monday.  Duh!

2) I've been doing well with my gym visits.  In fact, after two of the three classes this week, someone has thanked me for being helpful during class.  Wednesday it was for encouraging a teen behind me during a tough class.  Today, a lady came up after the class and thanked me for helping, but I have no idea what I did.

3) My return back to school after a two week break was easier than I had imagined.  The students were decent to quite decent all week.  Friday, however, I did have my second hour class do jump squats with me since they were completely unengaged and lethargic.  It actually helped and most did the jump squats.

4) I'm thinking about seventh grade research.  In fact it's overtaking my thinking moments.  I've settled on using the "Top Ten Problems Facing the World during 2015."  Various lists have been accessed, and I think it's a possibility.  Since they'll need to narrow the focus of the problem, I'm thinking about doing group research, but I'm struggling with making sure all are engaged.  Help!  My honors class is once again going to use news stories of 2015 by researching the liberal/conservative side of the issue.  If you have any ideas of news stories, let me know.  Actually, I have a list started.

Perhaps next week will be more exciting, and I'll be more engaged.  Posts might occur more frequently.  Maybe I need to be confident with myself.

I've been feeling a little boring too.

So I'm focusing on my sankalpa in January.

Do you have one?

LH- I do not have a Sankalpa, but I am focused on health as much as I'm focused on anything.

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.
