Time

Britt Britt on One of Our Weekend Walks
Time is something that I need to manage.  In order to balance my work and my life, I need to make decisions.  Yesterday my decision was to ignore grading, so I could finish the book for Wednesday's Talking Volumes.  When I planned everything out, I knew tonight was my initial LYFE group (We're reading We Make the Road by Walking by Brian Mc Laren), but I knew I could use tomorrow to grade the remaining assignments that I ignored this weekend.  Since I had the entire night free (I already called to say I would not be at book club, another reading group), I would be able to grade the procrastinated papers and the papers coming in tomorrow... perfect!

Unfortunately, sometimes life gets complicated and decisions must be made.  Today I received a FB message from a fellow Wimp (my RAGBRAI team member).  "How do you feel about drinking on a weeknight?  I'll be in Minneapolis tomorrow night and would buy you a beer in exchange for a healthy dose of sarcastic wit."  Seriously?!  How could I turn down this invitation?

My decision... breathe, ride my bike, tackle some school stuff tonight, go to LYFE group.  After school tomorrow, I will tackle the assignment that comes in tomorrow.  During school (go early, work through prep and lunch), I will get the last of the procrastinated papers finished (only one class).

I've got 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...

Demolition

The Lazy Song by Bruno Mars "Today I don't feel like doing anything I just wanna lay in my bed Don't feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone 'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything." I am going to school with a thank you/apology note in hand. Yesterday I was "caught red handed" making illegal copies on the staff copier. It's not like it's the first time I've done it. It's not like everyone doesn't do it. It's not like I feel sorry about making the copies The problem is that I was caught, completely "busted". I watched the copy police (lovely lady) walk into make a copy and knew she would see the copies I was making and be upset to quite upset. "Shit," I uttered as I was talking to the secretaries watching her walk into the room. According to the copy police I am banned from the staff copier. Maybe I'll try to follow the rules for the next week or two. An ea...
