Weekend in Five

I am thinking about blogging my weekends in five pictures.  Typically, however, I'm certain I don't normally take five pictures each weekend.


The weekend started with happy hour at Surley on Friday.  A group from school made the trip to enjoy the Thanks Obama! beer which was actually tasty.  We discussed how most of us had ignored all news and the inauguration making us more positive in general.




Saturday early morning brought a trip to the beginning of the Women's March on Washington, Minnesota.  Almost 100,000 were in attendance, so I'm sure most have seen the photos.  The signs were absolutely wonderful.  Our small group adopted a young mother and her seven year old.  Piggy back rides were given, and we constantly kept an eye on the group making sure everyone was in sight.  It truly was a great experience, and I hope we continue to work/fight together.


Saturday evening I checked my mail to find this mug.  I had joked on FB about wanting this mug and suggesting that those who had forgotten my birthday/Christmas should buy me this mug.  My friend Ross purchased it for me, and I found it in the mailbox yesterday.


Today it's back to the mundane.  I've been to church and the gym.  This leaves a shower, laundry, grocery shopping and school work.  I need to take my notes from Wing Young Huie's visit on Friday and turn them into a lesson.

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.
