Snow Day

Although I'm not a fan of winter, it's beautiful.
During my second hour class, my phone kept alerting me to multiple texts.  Due to the fact that I don't typically get multiple texts in a row while I'm at school, I walked over to check my phone.  When I realized it was a group text from three intelligent friends whom I had texted with last night during the caucus, I sent my own text, "Isn't anyone working today?"  The truth is that all three of them were homebound due to snow (two in separate locations in Iowa and the other in Colorado).  Two more text came in.  The first stated that "God looked down at us last night and said, 'You know these ladies deserve a day off.  They worked hard... Not that M though.  Give Minneapolis blue skies.'"  The other offered apologies. I read the first aloud to my class.  They immediately said that my friends were mean.  I agreed, and we went back to work.  Truthfully, I'm glad our snow came later in the day since my classes were productive today.

I do love a snow day.

But sometimes it's super hard to get back on track from the snow days.

So it's okay not to have one.

Your friends are funny.

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.
