I'm am in pain. I missed a week of workouts last week and paid for it on Monday. I was dying doing the thousands of push-ups that seemed to be a piece of cake for Miss "let's put our feet on the bench so it is even harder to do the already impossible push-up" Instructor. No, I'm not bitter at all.
On another note, I am reading the Lovely Bones, but can't read it before I go to bed because it is scary. I switched from Peace Like a River, which my roommate loves, but I just got lost in all the detailed descriptions and found myself re-reading too much and then would forget what was going on and then would have to re-read again and the cycle would just keep going. I think I was on the first 30 pages for 6 months. A clear sign for me to stop, so anyways, I switched. Maybe some day I will read Peace Like a River.
We all rode on this giant ferry across a man made lake that it took them 3 years to fill with water. Disney had really made his very own world.
I found God's will for my life and yours...
This is my prayer today. 2 Guard my life, for I am devoted to you.
You are my God; save your servant
who trusts in you.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to your servant,
for to you, O Lord,
I lift up my soul.
5 You are forgiving and good, O Lord,
abounding in love to all who call to you.
6 Hear my prayer, O LORD;
listen to my cry for mercy.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call to you,
for you will answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
9 All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you, O Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.
10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD,
and I will walk in your truth;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
12 I will praise you, O Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths of the grave.
14 The arrogant are attacking me, O God;
a band of ruthless men seeks my life—
men without regard for you.
15 But you, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me;
grant your strength to your servant
and save the son of your maidservant.
17 Give me a sign of your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me.
Some highlights that stick out to me are:
"The policy decisions bolstered a business model used by most existing dispensaries--based on serving 400 or more patients--and spawned many more, and offered a measure of certainty to investors who helped bankroll the growth in retail outlets." - finally I can invest in drugs and not have to watch my back... just what I was looking for!
During this time I never took pain meds (besides Ibuprofen). I was in intense physical therapy and then began to learn how to minimize my pain on an everyday basis and adjust my lifestyle. I practiced yoga instead of running, I stood differently, I learned to sit differently. I know there are people out there with way more serious issues than mine was that are dealing with it in a healthy way!
Last night we had a sleepover for the high school girls and boy did it take me back! At one point we asked what game they wanted to play and some one shouted out MASH! I just about died, I was laughing so hard. So being the great role models we were we dove in and played MASH. For those of you that don't know or are too proud to admit that you played this as a kid, My future life was determined on that piece of paper...
Are you tired of scanning your Facebook pages, then going to your twitter account, or maybe a linkedIn, or Digg, or Buzz... PHEW I am tired just writing them all out!
Here is where I think it is lacking:
5. Fourwalls - The cubicle search. The location based Foursquare is not just limited to businesses and places that you would actually go to! Now you can be the mayor of your very own cubicle... or someone elses for that matter! Get directions on the nearest cubicle and find out who has the best candy dish! Walmart needs this at their home office!
things too soon because I am afraid that the risk is not worth it. But if I let myself get closer, I realize that indeed that risk provides much more reward when there is success!
For the last few years when the middle of March rolls around I pull out my pencil and paper, log on to CBS sports and fill out a bracket. I realized that when you have something at stake in these tournaments, it makes them much more exciting. So many of the games this season have come down to the final 10 seconds of the game where things can change in an instant.
point in my life where there are going to be some transitions. With transition comes questions, uncertainty and doubt. So today I looked down and I am wearing my Wigand t-shirt from 2005 (Wigand was my flag football team at my school). It made me think about what was going on 5 years ago. I was still in college, was still dreaming of someday doing something. I did not know a lot of things that would happen in those five years.
My cousin's wedding in Baltimore. I would travel any where with this group!
Grand Canyon!
This is how I rode to kindergarten every morning in Indonesia... but this is also very typical transportation... This is my brother, me and my Mom... HA!
{1} This I think is the best shade of blue and I love the little pockets and the length is great!
{2} First of all, not a fan of the heals... but love this dress!
{3} This little top just makes my heart smile... Imagine pairing it with a cute pencil skirt and boots...
I love to chop things, like vegetables and other food products... not just anything.
No more rice sticking to the bottom of the pan... and it cooks it in the microwave! How quick and easy. I had one of these (not a pampered chef one, mind you) that I bought for a dollar at a garage sale and we used it so much that the red dye of the plastic started to dye our rice red... probably not a good thing. So I have moved up in the world!
The name that they decided to give it is "iPad". Really? All women are thinking... "WHAT?" and all men are clueless. What is even more funny is that there is a news headline titled "Will the iPad become your Pad? . This was obviously named by a group of men who had now idea, I think Apple should consider renaming this little guy. This is an example of where a name is already taken in the market and no matter how great, and innovative you are as a company there are just some things that you cannot replace in the minds of people.
