Alas


Alas, it seems the best I can do is post once a week, and I'm going to be OK with this.  This week I was President for the history classes bills.  I passed a few and vetoed a few.  I even have my own veto stamp. One bill I vetoed was questioned by the class teacher and the person who wrote the bill.  I had to explain that although I think an individual should lose their license for a DUI, I didn't feel it should be a felony since felons are not able to vote.  Everyone should have the right to vote my friends.

I also went back to spin class this week.  It's good people and good energy.  My favorite instructor is back, and he kicked my ass as usual.  He, however, is not the only one kicking ass. 

Since the next couple of weeks are going to be crazy, I took one evening to look at my photos from this year.  I was trying to figure out if I had enough pictures of myself for a Christmas card.  After looking at my pictures, I realized I had two types of pictures:  me with others and me flipping off the camera.  I sent a message to some of my RAGBRAI folks, and we laughed about my photos.  One friend even said that they would be OK for my card since I typically looked cheerful while flying the bird.  At this point, I decided I was going to make one naughty card (with me showing my middle finger) and one nice card (with appropriate family type photos).  Did I mention I found a discount code for 50% off holiday cards at Walgreens?  Yep, my Christmas cards are finished although I'm not going to write or address for a couple of weeks. 

Seriously, that's the excitement for this week...

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.
