Blogging instead of meditating

 sometimes that's just what happens. There are days where I want to sit and still my mind and just be peaceful. Then there are other days where I just want to write and get these things out of my head. Today it's the latter. 

What a weekend it has been. On Friday I had a meeting in Queen Creek from 8:30 to noon. Then I had a hair appointment at 1:45 and that lasted 2.5 hours. After that I was taking tickets at the homecoming game until 8:30. It was a long, busy day and when I got home I was just exhausted. I slept in on Saturday until almost 6am - that's late for me. Then yesterday I had nothing during the day but was working the homecoming dance last night. I got there around 6:15pm and was there until 9:30pm. Some of the people that volunteered didn't show up so there were very few adults there. Luckily, our kids are overall very good and things seemed to go very well. The DJ was awesome. Today I have nothing and I am so enjoying it. 

I am cutting out some minis today. I have those 2 shows coming up and I need to make sure I have inventory for both. I can't run out. These take a considerable amount of time to make. So I'm cutting some things today, that's easy, and doing laundry. After I finish here I'll probably head out to the couch for a while. Definitely taking it easy today and getting to bed early tonight. 

I'm still mulling over the whole social media thing. I think I'm definitely going to transfer my website to like GoDaddy or something. I don't see the point of paying $35/mo for a Shopify store  when I don't really sell online. Any of my art is going to require a conversation and not just something you throw in your cart and check out. So do I really need a website that is a commerce site - I don't think so. I think a regular site where I can display what I do and people can go look at it will be more than enough. So I'm going to switch over. I need to cancel my Etsy shop though and I'm having a problem with that. I can't seem to log into it to shut it down. Once I shut that down, I can shut down Google Workspace and stop paying every month for that. I signed up for all these things thinking I would need them and I don't. I'm going basic. Very. Very. Basic. Scaling back and trying to just sell some stuff. 

Okay, time's up. I'm out.

What is wrong with people??? Do Americans no longer have the ability or desire to think for themselves??? On the news this morning I was listening to Al Gore testify on Capitol Hill and I swear to God it made my eyes bleed. The truth be damned, Al's going to try and ride this global warming thing to the White House. What gets me is not so much Al Gore, he's a fruitcake, it's that all these seemingly intelligent people are buying into this crap. People are afraid to stand up and disagree with the global warming issue. It kind of reminds me of early Nazi Germany. People were afraid to stand up and say Hitler was a nutcase. Even if global warming were true (which you may have guessed I don't think) we would need to take drastic action and institute real change. Banning incandescent light bulbs won't do it Al. It really saddens me that people can't think for themselves, that they fall in lockstep to what people like Al Gore say. Please people, use your br...

I am not a night owl. Not at all. I am a morning person - big time. I love to be up before the sun and to get things done. Nothing better than hitting 9 a.m. with most of my chores behind me. Maybe it goes back to my time in the Army, who knows. So most nights I'm in bed by 9 p.m. If I'm up to watch the 10 p.m. news, I'm up late!!! Monday night is my drawing class. It ends at 8:30 p.m. and it's a 20 minute drive home. Do you see where I'm going with this??? Generally when I get home I can't go to bed right away. I need to take time to decompress a little. Luckily I learned rapidly to eat dinner before I go or else I would be up until midnight ( I can not go to bed right after I eat). Wednesdays are worse because I don't get out of class until 9 p.m. Last night drawing class was really good. I'm actually pretty darn good at drawing. I got home at 8:50 and farted around for a while. Finally about 9:15 I forced myself to go to bed. Well I e...

I have a question.

Do you guys eat before your morning workout? If so, what? And how much before?? This is a topic I've been struggling with for some time now and I still don't have a good answer. When I was huge and had just started moving, I didn't eat before working out. I did it first thing in the morning, still do, and basically just didn't have time to eat first. So I would work out and then eat after. I lost 75 lbs that way. I also wasn't exercising more than an hour at a time, usually it was 30-45 minutes. As I got fitter and was working out more, I would be hungry when I woke up. I started eating 1/2 a banana as soon as I got up and then worked out. That seemed to work out well for a while. Then I started reading. I got all caught up in the eat or don't eat debate. I read a lot of experts saying you have to eat before working out or you body won't burn fat. Others said if you worked out less than an hour it wasn't necessary to eat first, unless you wer...
