Rain, Rain, Go Away


The truth is we've had less rain than most.  My prayers go out to my Iowa friends who are sandbagging to save their towns.  Lately I'm having a difficult time blogging because I want to have a picture to go with my blog.  It's not really that difficult.

Let's be honest, it's not like I didn't blog at all this week.  Remember Monday?  I kicked ass on my list, so I was able to hang out with my RAGBRAI friend on Tuesday.  Plus, I was able to go to Carl Hiaasen on Wednesday.  I was ready to ask him about his female characters.  Why are your female characters stronger than you adult book female characters?  As he spoke, I realized he's less ignorant and chauvinistic than I had imagined.  He's actually intelligent and funny.  Although I did ask my question, I realized reading satire when our country is struggling makes me crabby instead of entertained.

The other news is that we have a tentative contract.  My guess is that it's horrible, but I will wait.  It does mean that we won't have to work merely our contract hours.  Unfortunately, this is both good and bad.  I spent all of Thursday evening and most of yesterday working on school stuff.  For some reason, I find it difficult to do my job without taking some stuff home.  The good news is my stars are cut for Tuesday, and my plans are becoming firm for most of October.  It feels good.

Today I hope to get back on my bike.  I'll be wearing a t-shirt that I know will be stained from the mud on the wet roads/trails, but I have plenty of t-shirts that should be used for something else.

And finally, as I'm drinking my coffee, watching television, and blogging, this comes on my TV.  It could be the greatest thing ever!  If I hadn't already started giving you a bunch of lackluster ideas, I would have only blogged on this!  You go Doritos!!

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.
