I can't/shouldn't leave my mourning behind
The barbaric reality has shaken me out
Despite my usual quietness I have angry things to shout
And yet I believe G-d wants me to live
He wants me to connect, He wants me to give
He wants me to be dating, to be setting up friends
He wants me to move forward through whatever life sends
So I try to set people up every now and then
And to get out there myself- if not now when
Right now I have to leap in faith, though it may not seem deep
It's time, it's time, it's time- it's time to go to sleep.rabbi neil fleischmannhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9260308.post-73655618738673793932014-11-23T22:31:00.003-05:002014-11-23T22:31:56.236-05:00My Thought, Hot Off The Press, On Garbled TextsWhen a text message doesn't make sense you can come to understand it if you look at the letters on the keyboard that are next to the letters that make it not make sense.

Life is like a store

You grab whatever you want

Then you pay the price

This week's prompt from Haiku Horizon's is "store." You may also enjoy what I wrote for their previous promt- "cold," which I got done too late to link to on their site.

If I have the time, energy, and inspiration to think of more on "store," I think I'll put them in the comments.

suprficially, outside-
goes too far...to cold

Minnesota air
in winter freezes hot tea.
There are folks like that.

The cold and unclothed
may feel colder and less dressed
when we buy garbage

Winter outerwear:
does it matter how it looks
if it keeps you warm?

Pope Francis has said,
"A little bit of mercy
makes the world less cold."

Longfellow observed
we see sad people as cold,
not seeing their pain

When I am warmer
than that which is around me
it feels cold to me

You wish to be cool
formal, not over friendly
but you come off cold

My mucus membranes
of nose and throat are inflamed,"
or - "I have a cold"

Dickens described:
the sun shines hot, wind is cold

She gathered the courage to start a conversation and told him that she had just told her class in Sefer Tehilim about how he had carried a small book of Psalms with him through all his tribulations in the former Soviet Union, even when the authorities gave him trouble because of it. Whereupon Sharansky reached into his pocket and took out a tattered used Sefer Tehillim to show her.
You still carry it, she breathed.
It carries me, he responded.

I'm grateful to G-d for all this life, all this writing, all this connecting- hopefully.

Spent Shabbos with dad. Have a ride to my apartment, which was to be any minute or not at all. Thinking about time passed and passing. thinking about how I love my dad. As the blog has gone, so have ten years gone. Mom is in the next world. And... So much to say and not to say.

I don't feel like linking. A Dana Gioia poem that's on this blog comes to mind- about the letters we write our dead. And searching comes to mind. The other day i was sharing the blog with someone asked for a random word, they came up with "hello." Lots of posts come up. try it, search a word, let me know what you find. there's a lot in here, it surprises me how much, and what, I've written here...

Off to wait for my ride...

8:32 PM - Here at my desk in my apartment. Took longer than expected, so much does. Ride just called to thank me for recommending FUV.

Thinking about these passed years, these ten blog years. If you search the words "can't go home again," you'll find posts from when I went home again. But now I can't. The house is empty of people and people are what makes a home. So maybe I was back home again this Shabbos, with dad in his new home, inside a big, clean, place. Sigh. That means I just sighed.

I've searched the word "purple" within this blog, and the words "I shall not," and found some rich stuff. I like looking back at a piece I wrote one Motzai YK, which is findable by searching "Jennifer Blyer" and/or holy schleppers. I also like a piece I wrote about the road less travelled and how it doesn't mean what a lot of people think it means. And a piece about how Hal Holbrook has been Mark Twain was Mark Twain. I think it was called Role "Em, and I think Pearl liked the title (which reminds me: A big thank you to all who read and commented and were part of the storied and alive history of this blog)...

Off to connect with a friend...

10:53 PM - Back at the keyboard again.

Things from over the years I like/remember: The four part series about my name. Any poems I posted from sarah Shapiro. Any Aaron Bulman poems. Pems in general. The poem called, "Did I Miss Anything?' That's a really big one for me and my life. it's a mission statement- connect, be present. Anything I quoted from Mr. Rogers.

I just searched C.S. Lewis in this blog and it turns out I've mentioned him in many posts. here's a quote I had forgotten knowing that I like all over again:

"When you teach a child writing, you hold its hand while it forms the letters: that is, it forms the letters because you are forming them. We love and reason because God loves and reasons and holds our hand while we do it." - C.S. Lewis

Here's a poem I just rediscoverd in a previous post.

Apartment House
By Gerald Raftery

A filing cabinet of human lives
Where people swarm like bees in tunnelled hives,
Each to his own cell in the covered comb,
Identical and cramped - we call it home.

11:07 PM - Time for sleep, soon.

I am grateful to G-d for connections. Everything comes down to that. To the extent that I don't connect and want to I am pained. To the extent that I connect i am pleased. i thank G-d for my continuing to have connections, in my life, and in this blog.

Happy Anniversary to all who see this, all who are part of this. Thank you.

Good Night and G-d Bless. (Decided to break the no linking rule just once).

P.S. -

GNAGB

Good night and G-d bless
Sometimes I write boldly
Sometimes softly, with "may"
Depending on how He moves me

Good night and G-d bless
I write with gratefulness
That G-d blessed me with the
Ability to hope He blesses you

Good night and G-d bless
I write again and again
Sometimes as a rough draft
Sometimes as a gentle wind

Their parents dressed them alike every day
Neither one stood alone amoungst the masses
They were sent to the same camps, placed in the same honors classes
They were fit into the same box from the outside
Their internal nature was supressed, made to hide

This was the case until they turned thirteen
Then they each took off and joined their own scene
Yaakov continued to be the super Tzadik child
Eisav threw his Judaism away, ran off, went wild

Rabbi Hirsch says Yitzchak and Rivkah made a mistake
They imposed things on their children that were easy to shake
They forgot to fulfil "Chanoch le'na'ar al pi darco"
Which means, raise your child according to his nature that you know

As we grow older, may we remember what to do
Follow Hashem's Torah while to our own self being true
May we be blessed to use our nature to follow G-d's way
May Hashem help us do this- let's start today!rabbi neil fleischmannhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9260308.post-43512038824343717632014-11-20T23:47:00.001-05:002014-11-20T23:47:08.707-05:00Chayei Sarah- Parshah PoemWe're told we'll be told of Sarah's life, that's the goal
But then we're told about part, not the whole

The answer is kind of simple to see
Our year's are incomplete, a piece of what's to be

All of our days are greater than their sum
There is so much more that is to come

Our life span has an afterlife- everything that we do
We live on in the next world and in this world too

So remember as you go through today
There are ripple effects to all you do and say

May the good deeds that we do live on in family and friends
And in this way our life never ends

It is a blessing to feel pain

to be angry, more, again

to sigh from disappointment

upon missing an appointment

it's a blessing, yes, somehow

because it's better to allow

me to be honest and feel

it's a blessing to be real

Are there (he asked somewhat rhetorically) better ways to vent, journal, or share in writing than a blog?

Tonight fate assisted me in getting to a talk by rabbi Pesach Krohn. It's almost like one of his stories. Someone asked if they could return some books borrowed from me, that person rode me to visit a sick friend, that friend told me about the talk that he couldn't make but would have liked to hear. I was a block away. it was the exact right time to go (15 minutes after the time it was called to start). I went, and it was very good. Stories and other content available upon request.

This morning I took part in Open House for my school, happy to be on the team, deeply grateful for my role. my place.

Spent a while on phone with a parent tonight who's helping his son study for our test. We're half way there; the father is ready.

A dear friend and I were talking and he said, "Can I ask you a stupid question?" I said that in my experience that question never precedes a stupid question. What that question precedes is something that's a bit uncomfortable/awkward for the asker to say. My friend wondered if I was right and then said that yes, that was the kind of question he was going to ask: Why did I share something with him in an offhanded way that sounds like it's actually not a small or easy matter. Not a stupid question, but a question that's a little hard to ask. (For the record- truly stupid questions generally are asked with confidence or bravado as if they are the smartest question in the world.)

Rabbi Krohn got personal tonight. He shared how hard his mother took it when his father died. Rabbi Krohn was a teenager, the oldest of the kids. The kids all felt it. his mother set a place at the table for her husband for forty years.

I wrote a poem about Sarah and Avraham's laughters. And I don't know where it is. I wish I had it and/or had the time and was blessed to recreate it.

May we all be blessed tonight with a good night, tomorrow with a good tomorrow, and always with a good always.rabbi neil fleischmannhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9260308.post-51311248350386321662014-11-09T23:20:00.002-05:002014-11-09T23:20:45.025-05:00I would love some feedback as the blog reaches its tenth anniversary.rabbi neil fleischmannhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9260308.post-78846928940198517582014-11-07T16:13:00.002-05:002014-11-07T16:13:29.362-05:00My Neighborhood, This Morning

And Yitchak, so we think, was named for her laughter. The fact is that toward the end of Lech Lechah, G-d appears to Avraham and tells him that he's going to have a son. Avraham laughs and the son is named Yitzchak.

Why was Sarah chastised by G-d for her laughter while Avraham was not? Unkelos, who is known as a translator, but like every translator is a commentator/interpreter, interprets the same word used for the laughing of Avraham and Sarah in two different ways. Regarding Sarah Unkelos writes that the she laughed, while for Avraham he says that he was joyful. Sarah, Unkelos (as cited by Rashi) seems to say, laughed in a cynical way, while Avraham laughed in a celebration. This is supported by G-d's reaction to Sarah's laughter, asking if anything is impossible for him.

There's laughter that is dismissive and negative and laughter which is embracing and happy. Today cynical humor is all the rage. But we are better served when we laugh in a positive fashion.

On a related note, perhaps Sarah let go of her dream, so when she heard it could still come true she laughed it off. But Avraham never let go of his dream, so though it seemed to not be in the cards, when he heard that it was going to come true, it still resonated for him, and he laughed in joy.rabbi neil fleischmannhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-9260308.post-12089592159573112312014-11-07T07:00:00.002-05:002014-11-07T07:01:56.767-05:00Old Jewish TunesA reliable source tells me that there are three Jewish tunes that are known to be over a thousand years old:

Morrisons' flagship Kiddicare store opens in Nottingham
Morrisons has launched its flagship Kiddicare store in Nottingham today (26 September) to take on Mothercare, its mother-and-baby retail rival.
The Nottingham store includes free Wi-Fi for parents to price-check items and read online reviews, a Very Important Baby personal shopping experience and a gift registry service to plan shopping for new babies.
In-store features have been conceived by design agency 20.20 and are an attempt to convert the Kiddicare brand's "great online offering" into a physical retail space.
The developments come as struggling Mothercare attempts to modernise its own stores and improve its online offering.
Mothercare has appointed former LoveFilm boss Simon Calver as its new chief executive to develop its online presence and has scaled back advertising in order to invest in its stores.
Morrisons acquired Kiddicare for £70m in February 2011 to convert the online retailer into a multi-channel brand.
It is using Kiddicare's expertise to launch the supermarket's first online offer, a wine ecommerce store, in the second half of next year.
The decision was taken to open the first Kiddicare store in Nottingham following a public poll run via social media.
Morrisons currently has plans to roll out nine further Kiddicare stores after snapping up the 10 megastores previously occupied by electronics retailer Best Buy before its collapse.
Elaine Weavers Wright, brand director at Kiddicare, claims the brand has created "more than just a shopping experience".
She said: "Our new store concept and brand identity really capture the fun of having a baby.
"We're creating an emotional relationship that excites existing customers and engages new ones, always remaining true to our ethos of unbeatable value, great range and exceptional service."

College News
Maggs to be Published in "American Economist"
Dr. Gary Maggs, Professor and Chair of the Department of Economics, has had a paper accepted for publication in the American Economist for this fall. He co-wrote the paper with Dr. Ben Kyer, Professor of Economics at Francis Marion University.
The paper, "Economic Expansion and the Balance of Trade: The Role of Aggregate Demand Elasticity," investigates the role of aggregate demand elasticity for the balance of trade when economic expansion occurs. It demonstrates that when an economic expansion results from an exogenous increase of aggregate demand, the balance of trade deficit is impacted by the price level elasticity of aggregate demand. It is also shown that when an economic expansion is induced by an exogenous increase of short-run aggregate supply, the price level elasticity of aggregate demand is also relevant to resulting changes in the balance of trade.

Life expectancy has more than doubled in the last ~200 years. Modern medicine must be doing something right.
Most doctors plead with their patients to do more exercise, quit smoking, stop drinking too much, eat healthier. A lot of medicine is preventative, not curative. If people are too dumb to listen it isn't the doctors' fault.

A Statistical Portrait of Hispanic Women in the U.S.
Annual births to Hispanic women in the U.S. exceeded one million in 2006, and one-in-four children in the U.S. under age 5 is Hispanic. These and other interesting data are included in a new Pew Hispanic Center fact sheet.
Arizona's Population Growth Parallels America's
How will Arizona's new law penalizing businesses for hiring unauthorized immigrants affect its labor force? The Pew Hispanic Center provides up-to-date estimates of the state's demographics as well as two other fact sheets analyzing the characteristics of the overall Latino population in the U.S. and of foreign-born immigrants of all origins.
The Immigration Debate: Controversy Heats Up, Hispanics Feel a Chill
The 2007 National Survey of Latinos finds that Hispanics in the U.S. are feeling a range of negative effects from increased public attention and stepped up enforcement measures.
English Usage among Hispanics in the United States
A new analysis of six Pew Hispanic Center surveys finds a dramatic increase in English-language ability from one generation of Hispanics to the next.
A Changing Racial and Ethnic Mix in U.S. Public Schools
A new analysis of public school enrollment data by the Pew Hispanic Center finds that in the dozen years from 1993-94 to 2005-06, white students became significantly less isolated from minority students while, at the same time, black and Hispanic students became slightly more isolated from white students.
1995-2005: Foreign-Born Latinos Make Progress on Wages
Foreign-born Latino workers made notable progress between 1995 and 2005 when ranked by hourly wage. The proportion of foreign-born Latino workers in the lowest quintile of the wage distribution decreased to 36% from 42% while many workers moved into the middle quintiles.
Changing Faiths: Latinos and the Transformation of American Religion
Hispanics are altering the profile of American religion by their growing numbers and by their distinctive practice of Christianity. A new study by the Pew Hispanic Center and the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life also finds Latinos' influence on U.S. politics and public affairs is strongly affected by the particular characteristics of their faith.
Growing Share of Immigrants Choosing Naturalization
Today's legal immigrants are signing on to a closer relationship with Uncle Sam more quickly and at higher rates than was the case a decade or two ago.
Latinos Online
A new joint report from the Pew Hispanic Center and the Pew Internet & American Life Project finds that low levels of education and limited English ability largely explain the gap in internet use between Hispanics and non-Hispanics living in the U.S.
The Changing Landscape of American Public Education
Public school enrollment in the U.S. has risen sharply since the early 1990s, with Hispanic students accounting for about two-thirds of the increase. The growth has triggered a surge in new school construction, but two-thirds of the new facilities are not serving Hispanic students.

It's the little things that makes stays like that memorable. The location is perfect, just steps away from Mirror Lake and main street. We loved our stay and will definitely be back!

Sheriff tackles prescription-drug abuse
Date: November 11, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office will kick off a drive to crack down on prescription drug fraud and abuse tomorrow.
The Pharmaceutical Diversion Investigative Unit will outline its plans to stop the practice known as doctor shopping, in which a patient visits several doctors and gets prescriptions from each one.
"The overall goal is to reduce overdose deaths," said Wendy Rose, sheriff's office spokeswoman. "It's a huge problem in Sarasota County."
According to state statistics, Sarasota County has more than twice the number of overdose deaths than the state average, and Rose said the Pharmaceutical Diversion Investigative Unit wants to look into the reasons why that's the case.
There have been 32 deaths in Sarasota County so far this year that have been attributed to prescription drug overdoses.
"There's a lack of understanding that prescription drugs can be harmful," Rose said. "Just because a doctor prescribes it doesn't mean it's safe if not taken as instructed."
The effort is being funded through a $500,000 federal grant.
The sheriff's office also will announce Operation Medicine Cabinet, in which participating Walgreens pharmacies will take back unused or expired prescription drugs and hand out $5 Walgreens gift cards in exchange.
The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 14, at the following Walgreens locations in Sarasota: 1947 Fruitville Road, 6465 S. Tamiami Trail and 5800 Bee Ridge Road.
Prescription drugs also will be accepted at the Lido Beach Pavilion, 400 Ben Franklin Drive.

Governor weighs special session on local control of oil and gas drilling
Lawmakers run out of time to forge a deal on legislation that would give more control of oil and gas drilling to Colorado communities.
Lawmakers run out of time to forge a deal on legislation that would give more control of oil and gas drilling to Colorado communities.
Supporters say the bill would prevent mountain streams from running dry, especially during drought years, but opponents argue the new measure would upend 160 years of state water law.
The proposal sets up a process to spend the more than $24 million raised on taxes from retail marijuana this year.
House lawmakers sign off on a plan to initiate a $3.25 million grant program for equipment and safety training for firefighters.
A look back through the decades at energy development and how state and local oversight has evolved through a long series of court cases and rule changes.
The measure comes in the wake of last year's murder of Tom Clements, the head of the Department of Corrections.
The measure increases the maximum penalty for a violation from $1,000 a day to up to $15,000 a day.
In Colorado Matters' regular discussion with the governor, he addresses proposed ballot initiatives on oil and gas drilling, and much more.
Colorado lawmakers won't go forward with a study focused on the health effects of oil and gas drilling in six Front Range counties.
Posting intimate images of someone to get back at them may soon be a misdemeanor in Colorado.

NAPPANEE ŌĆö Rotarians worldwide strive toward making the motto ŌĆ£Service Above SelfŌĆØ a mission that benefits in and beyond their general communities.
They focus on peace and conflict prevention and resolution; disease prevention and treatment; water and sanitation issues; good maternal and child health; economic and community development; and basic education and literacy. To help promote the latter in Nappanee, members of Rotary International recently donated dictionaries to every third grade student in the Wa-Nee school district.
NorthWoodŌĆÖs 2012 Sweetheart King and Queen were seniors Callie Julian and Taylor Anglemyer.
NAPPANEE ŌĆö A local thrift shop is ŌĆ£bursting at the seamsŌĆØ and volunteers of the mission hope for more customers to take advantage of the quality items offered there at unheard of prices.
Right now the abundance filling the two rooms at the Nappanee United Methodist ChurchŌĆÖs Thrift Shop is primarily winter items, though the shop sells books, magazines, shoes, housewares, childrenŌĆÖs items, toys, hats, jewelry, home decor, linens and more ŌĆö┬Āeven egg cartons for a penny ŌĆö and including clothing for men, women and children from newborn to adults size 3X.
Advance News is looking for Wa-Nee area couples that have been married for more than 20 years that have also worked for the same business for at least as long, for a ValentineŌĆÖs Day feature. Volunteers need only give about 20 minutes of their time and a photo of the couple will be needed.
Please call 574-209-0704, 574-546-2941 or email email@example.com before Jan. 29 to be involved.
NAPPANEE ŌĆö NorthWood High School is hosting a financial aid night Monday, Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium.
The program will provide financial aid information to high school seniors and their parents, or anyone else in the community, who plans to attend a post-secondary institution during the 2012-13 school year.
WAKARUSA ŌĆö It will soon be the season when maple syrup will be flowing in the town of Wakarusa, and with this time of year, there also follows a longtime tradition featuring another beloved confection.┬Ā
NAPPANEE ŌĆö The year was 1976. America was celebrating her bicentennial of independence; a peanut farmer from Georgia named Jimmy Carter was elected president; and a couple of guys named Steve started a computer company in their garage and named it after a fruit. Oh, and one other thing ŌĆö NorthWood High School hired another young fellow named Steve (Neff to be exact) in what was expected to be a one-year gig as the girls basketball coach.
NAPPANEE ŌĆö Members of the Nappanee Retail Committee met for the first time in 2012 for an eventful meeting with the organization of its and its associated agencies and learning cautions and tips from local law enforcement.
About 60 members present elected committee leaders for the year with Evidene Graber being chosen as chairperson, Dianne Debelak as vice chair, Lucinda Gaut continuing as secretary, and Dan Mast being elected as treasurer ŌĆö position that was left unfilled with the stepping down of Larry Andrews.
NAPPANEE ŌĆö Despite another Herculean effort by sophomore post man Zach Zurcher who posted his third straight double-double, the NorthWood Panthers boys basketball team could not overcome 21 turnovers and dropped a hard-fought Northern Lakes Conference (NLC) contest to the Northridge Raiders by the score of 71-65 in overtime. The loss was the second straight for the Panthers, who fell 65-59 at New Prairie earlier in the week, dropping their record to 4-7 overall and 1-2 in the NLC.

Picking Up Where I Left Off2014-11-17
I kind of abandoned this project. No, I did abandon this project. When I stopped writing, I had a lot going on in my life; it was the kind of stuff that I didn't think I could write about without affecting my professional relationships. So I just stopped writing.
I had a hard time continuing this blog because everything that I wanted to write about, I felt that I couldn't. It's hard to write about something that doesn't interest you, and that's why I had such a hard time coming back to work on this.
It's hard deciding what to make public, especially today when it's so easy to over share on social media. I ended up just choosing not to write anything. I guess that's the safer choice, but I can't improve as a writer by not writing.
As I've said before, it's hard to start. As it seems now though, continuing is also hard. Maybe it's just hard the whole way through, and that's life. I'm trying to get better at following through on this. Right now I've been forcing myself to come to my site everyday (if it's so hard for me to do it, I imagine it would be even harder for others). Once I make a habit out of it, it will be easier to keep on writing. As they say, don't break the chain.
I'm trying to get better at breaking tasks down into manageable pieces. I think the the goals I listed when I started this blog can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. Instead of writing 500 words in one sitting, it's less daunting to write 100 words every day. So far, I've been doing a good job coming back and doing that. Making this task part of my daily routine will ensure the growth of this blog.
Anyways, don't call it a comeback. I'm looking forward to documenting my life in the future. I have a lot on my plate right now, and I'm sure it will make a lot of great posts.

That was a text I shot back at my girlfriend this morning....she asked me if jellybeans were fat-free! LOL Of course they are, but we just talked about how we've fallen off the wagon since Easter hit...so PUT...the candy....BACK!!! Or rather....put them in the garbage! Which she texted me back "Put in sink and soaped them up good" - well, that'll work too! LOL
What's funny about our 10 minute conversation this morning is that I confessed to her that I ate rainbow cookies and brownies in the last week ***GASP!!*** {Let me digress for those of you who do not know me very well - I usually stay away from these things ENTIRELY because they can make me sick...literally, if I overdo it. No joke.} and yes, my dear friend's face and jaw hit the floor in shock!! Yup...I ate a Keebler graham cookie on my nieces birthday on April Fool's Day...and I didn't get sick...and that lead to a bite of cake on her birthday again the next weekend...and some rainbow cookies...and then the brownies. There - the Spark confession is now over too. Whew! - now that wasn't so bad! LoL
But here is the kicker....if I keep doing these little snacky thingies...I really will get sick...which is HORRIBLE, so I think I'm done being naughty.
It's a bummer, because right now, all I do is study, work, mom, wife, study, work, mom, wife....you know - the grind we all go thru, and in talking with my girlfriend who is in the same boat as me....well, the food is that bit of control and comfort and guilt that we get to indulge in that is ALL OURS!!!!! and it's ALL ABOUT US in that moment there. A silly stupid moment that ends in regret as soon as it's over...and then the guilt starts in again and then there we go! the emotional rollercoaster of eating begins ONCE AGAIN!!!
....and to stop it is like going through withdrawal or detox - she was just telling me that too....how she gets the shakes (which I've heard before from sugar lovers like herself) and then satiates the symptom with the sugar again. So when she texted me....she broke her cycle a bit - which (to me) is awesome.
So today is my own detox day. I have a buttload of fruit I bought at Costco because it was cheaper..but geez it's a lot!! So instead of letting it go bad - I am on a fruit kick today. Between that and my water, I'm on the road to detoxing the refined sugars out of my body once again....and again...and again. LolL - I know exactly what to do, I've been here before you see, and I've come to far to let the sugary lovely baked good win. Strike that....to let the sugary EVIL baked goods win.
Funny - but I was thinking the last time I felt like this.....kinda stressed out, not happy about gaining a few back and not exercising, the eating drinking & being merry had caught up with me....and it was right around my 10th anniversary and 1 year maintenance sparkiversary in July of 2009. I took control then....I can take control again now. The last time I took control I lost 10 pounds. Hmmm....i wonder where this one is going to take me? My minigoal is 135 (honestly I haven't weighed myself in a week - I think I was 137 then) and I'm due for a SparkCheck tomorrow....but it's not so much about eating, it's about moving again!! The whole studying thing is me on my butt - the biggest change EVER! - and I need to get moving again - whether it be simple stuff at night or walking to work here & there during the week. Something is going to give....I just have to fit it in and do it once and for all.
Boy - I bet I sound like a broken record to a few people, but you know what? I'm keeping this journey real for you as well as me...it's about accountability...transparency....all those good buzz words people use. It keeps me in line. It's like that text that my friend sent me. In essence, this is MY text to you,
Everyday I weigh myself, or at least I try to....it's part of my maintenance.
And part of maintenance is to go up....and go down...and go up.....and go down...and go up...
Well, today was an up day.
And I HATE the up days.
I don't care WHO you are...those days are just NOT FUN!!!!
So I flipped the bird at my scale.
Juvenile - oh yes....did it feel good...meh (as my friend Taso would say)
It's just the constant reminder that this takes work...along with everything else, and sometimes, you just want something to be easy....just for once.
This ain't it...even on maintenance.
But then again....all things good in life do not come easy.
Raising a family - hard.
School - hard.
To find a job you like/love - hard.
Maintaining a marriage/relationship - hard.
But you know what....for all that hard work...to say you are happy, well, then... that is priceless and worth all the effort in the world.
OMG...this thing is HUGE!!!
Right on my CHIN!!! Why oh why God, do you HAVE to still bless us with these huge, painful sebumlicious clear oil oozing things when we are in our 30s???? WHY!!?!?!?!
I must be going through some huge hormonal shift or something...my skin looks disgusting
Hmmm...maybe it's sympathy pregnancy or something...a bunch of people I know are expecting.,,,maybe it's the increased bit of carbs I've had...maybe it's the stress about NOT eating the chocolate and peeps and jellybeans sitting at my table.
I can be completely honest that it's NOT from eating the easter bunny's loot he left behind. I only had 1 measly piece of candy this year. Maybe it's because my body is stressed and it WAAAAANTTSSSS that ----but sorry Charlie...no can do....it's bad enough that I've eaten the hardboiled eggs. WHOA - hold on a sec....the EGGS!!!! I have had an increase in EGGS!!!!! More than any other time...since I can ever remember!! And in the last 3 day especially!!
Maybe it's that...I'm betting on that one now.
But in the meantime...my chin looks like Mount Etna is going to blow. No makeup can cover this thing up tomorrow...that's for sure.
I'll take suggestions...toothpaste? windex? I'll try anything!!!!!!
Make that the last 2 days were weird and yet very productive...
Yesterday we did the yard...it's never looked so good, and it's never been this easy to clean-up thanks to all the work we did last year in one section...a 2 day weed/cleanup wound up to be 3 hours! No kidding!! and the grass is cut and the preen is down...it's all good! We are ready to entertain!! Woohoo!! and that being said, while we were working in the yard yesterday, I noticed a significant change in exertion levels...what would have been an out of breath experience and sore muscles screaming at me even last year, turns out to not be the case anymore...which is honestly a very good sign, because it proved to myself that I am pretty fit, considering my lack of movement as of late! ROFL!! See - proof that all is not lost when things change up!! I know that it will go away, so I'm also happy to say that I've been increasing my nightly workout routines - AT LAST!!! WEEE!!!!
So today, I had my very first paying piano lesson...and the kid's mom never ordered the books online. Ugh!! and I left mine at home - hellooo, you had 3 weeks to order them!! So I winged it, and I think I did a pretty good job considering that I had nothing to go by. Sheesh...I'm carrying mine from now on...lesson learned. When I got home, i jumped right into studying, took a quiz, printed out the labs, printed out another quiz...so I have some stuff to do later tonight, which is more than I've done in the last 4 days!! ROFL....I need a fire lit under my dareierre sometimes, but then again, I always work better under pressure.
So I was trying to study outside, and the boys were playing basketball in the driveway, and of course, someone needed something done,and the studying ended pretty quick. So instead, I grabbed the basketball and started playing with them....it's SO cute how they all hang out and play now that they are older, which got me thinking....I NEVER take these kids out by myself...I am NOT joking (have a gaggle of kids 2 year apart and you'll know exactly what I mean)...and they have been so cooped up in the house this whole week, I started to feel bad for them, but also for myself..."Kids - get in the car!! We're going to get some easter shirts at the Navy of Old!" Their heads whipped around so fast - "what about Dad?"..."nevermind Dad, he's napping....let's GO!! I give him a shout, and if he hears, great...if not, we'll be back in 20 minutes" Off we went like a bat outta heck! Windows open, chalk on their pants, 3 complete sets of mismatched playclothes and all...music playing...to the store!! Yay!!!
I have to preface the next part here...whenever I took the babies out, they were always oogled at...each one-completely different - all oogled...very amusing to me. Well, now they are older, and I have to tout, well behaved MOST of the time, but I figured the oogling was pretty much a done thing. We have our rules as a family, no running in parking lots, hold hands, listen to mom & dad, stranger danger...yadda yadda, but having them alone is like having your head on a swivel that goes 360...and your brain on overload so noone gets lost, they stay near me and together, I find my stuff and theirs in record time in order to not lose the small window of excitement before boredom sets in...the brain processes alone could send one into a tizzy! LoL and that is basically how the trip went...and into the dressing room we go to try on my pants!!
The teenager at the desk just glances at the 3 boys holding their shirts and she just melted (teeheehee - they still ge the oogle it seems) and grins and brings me over to a room...where we all trapse into like an little army. As I order them to sit down in a row on the bench, they all look at each other and start to take off their own shirts to try the new ones on...being Mommy, I already knew they'd fit, but heck, it'll keep them occupied while I try on 2 pairs of jeans. Bam! Done 7 minutes flat!! "Let's go boys!" A world record for trying on a pair of jeans! That fit! In a smaller size! Yay!! mommy's happy - boys are happy...off like a little army we go!! As we pass and I look back to make sure they are all together with their shirts, all I see are people's heads turning and grins lighting up their faces, just like when the boys were babies. I kid you not....it was like it was from an old corny movie or something! Picture it...3 little boys all in a row, smallest to tallest, each carrying an easter shirt in his arms like a prize, right up to the cashier and each plops theirs right onto the counter and grins! I swear I almost peed my pants, it was so cute. Even I could not believe how awesome they were! And they still get an oogle out of a place!! ROFL! The cashier even said with a smile..."they all yours?" (honestly, we get that a lot for some reason, must be the boy thing and their close ages) My oldest goes "yup, we are!" and smiled his flirty smile....guess he's heard it a lot too!! LoL What a crew i have...each completely different, but as a whole, the best little bunch of guys a mommy could have - I am SO lucky!! Blessings counted for the day...1, 2, 3!!
And guess what - we were home within 20 minutes! BOOya!! ROFL!!! Mission accomplished! My hubby was sleepy eyed and "Where'd ya go?" as soon as we walked in the door too...very funny!
With the headsets on, everything is quiet and muffled.
And then, you turn the key and it's time to get moving.
Slowly, you push in the throttle and you go faster and faster down the pavement and before you know it, the throttle is full in, the lines on the pavement get closer and closer together, the fuselage shakes all the while the noise is getting louder...and then all it takes is your hand to pull back and there it is - the quiet rush of the air as you climb higher and higher into the sky as the ground falls away into a small and wonderous world of strange familiarity that only a bird would know.
Then there you are...up in the air with someone you hang out with on a regular basis at this point in your life. Imagine the fun of getting to know someone in such an enclosed space. Literally 6 inches away is another person who has a knowledge that you are yearning to possess and while you are paying for this experience...they eventually turn into one of your best friends. Their knowledge holds both of your lives in their hands, but you are the one in command.
"Here, now put these on."
What are those hideous things?
"Blinder glasses"
What are they for?
"So you can't see out....just the instruments"
Huh? Why? You didn't tell me about this part,
"So what? Just put them on and close your eyes and give me the stick. It's time for some fun."
So I did as I was told. I closed my eyes with the hideous glasses on...and I held my breath and tried to pay attention in the dark.
Silence....huh? what happened to the engine? Strange forces on my back and a buffeting sound....that's a stall going on. More silence and a steep pitch down.
"Open your eyes....save us."
Gauges are going nuts - hard right rudder, yoke down and in turned to the left, throttle in...fighting the urge to do the complete opposite and to react to what your body is telling you...to trust the instruments and the skills you learned before this moment.
I can still remember it to this day....the adrenaline rush, the motion of the world around me as instincts took over, and the feeling of accomplishment of completing the task at hand.
"Good. Let's do it again"
Yes, please.
It was one of the coolest things I had ever done in my life and on clear spring days, I can close my eyes and go right back into that small 2-seater airplane and experience those feeling all over again without ever leaving the ground. It ranks right up there with meeting my husband, getting married and giving birth to my 3 kids. Pure joy.
And then I think of this place...Spark...the people....the feeling of accomplishment when a goal is reached. It's like saving yourself from falling out of the sky...and when you save yourself, it's joy. Pure joy.

Gaffney hails "monumental" win
ESPNscrum Staff
September 19, 2011
Ireland celebrate victory over Australia © Getty Images
Backs coach Alan Gaffney has described Ireland's World Cup victory over Australia as "monumental", but warned qualification for the quarter-finals is far from assured.
The Wallabies, 1/5 favourites to win the match, were beaten 15-6 at Eden Park on Saturday as an unpredictable tournament produced its biggest upset. It was Ireland's finest World Cup victory and Gaffney admits it was overdue.
"Winning in the southern hemisphere is not something we've done a lot of, so we regard that as a monumental win," Gaffney said. "It was an enormous performance and everyone was of the same opinion. The boys knew they had it in them and there were some very emotional chats in the build up week, including from some guys not in the 22.
"We had to go out and start showing what we can do. We couldn't start wandering through the World Cup and not perform. Against Australia we put it on the paddock. I don't know if the Wallabies underestimated us. I don't know whether they did show us enough respect, I'm not quite sure there."
Ireland have two remaining pool games against Russia and Italy and Gaffney insists they are refusing to contemplate the knockout stages until those games have been negotiated.
"Brian O'Driscoll's address after the game was very pertinent. He said we're only 50% of the way," Gaffney added. "We're not treating anyone with disrespect, it's not an Irish thing. We'll go out and pay everyone the respect they deserve.
"We haven't qualified from our pool yet, we've still got two games to play. Russia are a growing side. Every time we play Italy it's a sticky game, it's never easy whether it's home or away. They're confrontational and have a great set piece. It's going to be a great Test for us."
Paul O'Connell and Gordon D'Arcy sustained hamstring strains against the Wallabies, but have yet to be ruled out of Sunday's clash with Russia in Rotorua.
"The progress of both players will be monitored over the coming days," read an Irish Rugby Football Union statement. "No decision on their availability for the game against Russia will be made until the team is announced on Friday."

(January 19, 2010: Texarkana, TX 75501) Liberty-Eylau Leopards (Texarkana, TX) backers were in high spirits Tuesday as they witnessed their basketball squad bounce the visiting Mt. Vernon Tigers (Mt. Vernon, TX), 87-44 in a league bout.

Affordable Tummy Tuck with Liposuction Package in Mexicali Mexico
The mixture of a liposuction with the a classic tummy tuck is now an extremely typical method. It will be safe to combine the 2 operations mainly to deal with the hip and flank areas. This really is an extremely useful solution to extenuate the curve of the waist along with the abdominoplasty. Additionally it is vital that you understand that there is certainly generally a limit about how much fat can be take away in a mixed surgery.
A large percentage of patients choose to have liposuction performed at the same time as their tummy tuck. The most common liposuction areas are the sides and lower back love handle, the saddlebags, along with the inner thighs. The causes of mixing the two operations are twofold. Firstly, a much more balanced figure with natural, beautiful proportions usually results from the combination of a tummy tuck and then liposuction. Second of all, it will save the patient money compared to returning for another procedure to address the places previously mentioned.

Nov 17, 2011Hmmmm, let's consider the evidence. No levitation. A very weak and artificial storyline. A main setting mainly full of .......space. Some good quests, some bad ones (the highly nihilistic Gaenor quest was my favourite) but really, this expansion offers nothing new to Morrowind except for a kind of proving ground for high level characters. Bland but just about worth installing.
Oct 23, 2010Loved the new armors and weapons that this game added. The questline like always is superb and it will take you a long time to finish if you can even focus on it since there's so much to do.
Mar 11, 2011Not quite as good as Bloodmoon, in my opinion. It was still very good. It's a little short and didn't have the interesting things you could do in Bloodmoon (read: become a werewolf).
Aug 18, 2012Compared with Bloodmoon, Tribunal is somewhat underwhelming to explorers such as myself. This expansion adds little more than a few large but barren sections of a city without altering the gameplay much at all. I'd still recommend Tribunal for the political intrigue which led through an interesting series of agendas and mysteries that I always liked about (most) ES games. So all in all, Tribunal adds an interesting story but little else besides some new, relatively empty areas of a city.… Expand
Aug 2, 2014I loved the original Morrowind and it's main storyline very dearly and one of the most interesting things about it was the entire Tribunal business with the false gods, but in the main game you could only see one of them - Vivec, so I was really happy to see Tribunal instead of trying to do something completely different, rather expanding on the original and continuing where it left off, located right in the Morrowind's capital Mournhold and focusing on the other false gods of the Tribunal - Almalexia and Sotha Sil. The locations were just the opposite compared to the original game, so instead of vast outside planes it's located in more interior based locations, new equipment, lots of new interesting quests (loved the one with the live theater). I know I'm in the minority with this opinion, but I enjoyed Tribunal much more than Bloodmoon. 8/10… Expand
The add-in combines a new and intriguing story with plenty of varied gameplay to steal forty or fifty more hours of your life.
If you go into it expecting a short but focused and enjoyable adventure, there is a good possibility you'll enjoy your visit to Mournhold.
The way Tribunal is integrated into the main Morrowind game is smooth and fascinating.
