Day 247:Sweating to the Golden Globes!

I did over an hour on the treadmill yesterday. And I have the Golden Globes to thank! The program had just begun when I started on the treadmill. I was planning on just doing a mile. But I was tired and sore and couldn't keep up the pace. So I slowed it down and did some longer strides, and some deep breathing. And got caught up in the show. 

Honestly, I could have done two hours, I was that involved.  But I was also annoyed.  During the pre show interviews, all the celebrities sounded like they were straight of the movie "The Stepford Wives".

They all said that the other candidates were "amazing" and they couldn't believe they were in the same category. And the directors and crew were brilliant and wonderful and they loved them. 

All the while looking so perfect and beautiful in their evening attire.  So fake sounding.  But when the actual show started, it was hilarious.  Downright politically incorrect and  abusive they way Ricky Gervais attacked our idolized celebrities. 

But I found it hilarious.  What is wrong with me?  There must be some scheme from television producers.  Ricky has hosted the show in years past.  And they've allowed him back.  I saw a lot of scowling faces on the celebrities, but did they not expect this treatment?  Are we supposed to feel compassion for them?

Could it be that people like to find fault in others? Is that intrinsic in our nature?  Maybe just knock the rich and beautiful down a few rungs on the ladder.  Makes us feel less inferior. I can't help wonder what the response would be if the elite publicly ridiculed the working class?  How politically incorrect would that be?  Would we vote for a presidential candidate that scoffed at the poor and working poor? 


Whatever.  Time to get out of my brain and into my day.  I am thankful for the experience yesterday. I got a good one hour workout and some good laugh therapy to boot!


And so, ladies and gentlemen, without further adieu, here are today's measurements:

Year Three, Day 110: I Like Change, But How Do I Help the Suffering?

I woke up in a bit of a panic this morning. I had planned on getting to the track by 6:30 a.m., because I thought today was the first day of school. You see, the public is not allowed to use the track when school is in session. Understandably so. But alas, I overslept! I still headed out with my hoop, hoping it was before school hours at 7:30 a.m. And I breathed a sigh of relief. The school looked vacant. And only one solitary jogger with her solitary dog was present. I got busy in case the kids were due to arrive. Got a nice hoop workout in. No sign of children as I walked back to the house. So I did what I should have done in advance. I consulted Google. And most happy am I - North Clackamas School District does not start back to school until September 6th! Portland Public Schools start today. But the elementary school next door to the track lists "student hours" as 7:45 - 2:00 p.m. So I really am going to have to get an earlier start next week. I am aiming...

Day 338: Unicorns in the Bible!

I am still working out the kinks in my daily routine. I am going to try practicing piano first today. I find I get so sidetracked that I don't get enough time in, and then I feel stress. I have quite a few performances coming up. Do not need stress!  So, my new daily plan will look something like this:  Wake up Pray Drink water and smoothie Piano practice Exercise Lunch Teach Read Bible and blog in between students Dinner Stretch Pray Bed My daughter and I food prepped last night. We made enough crockpot meals for our family of four for the next 2 to 3 weeks.  We put them in bags and tossed them in the freezer. We have turkey, veggie chili going on right now. Man, does the house smell good! My psalm of the day made me chuckle today. And got me curious about translations.  I read Psalm 29 in my King James Bible. Notice the appearance of the mythical unicorn in verse 6!   Psalm 29 1   Give unto the LORD, O ye mighty,  ...

Year Two, Day 201: "I"

Before my first meeting with "I" I had a wonderful first date last night! We had a lot on common. The conversation flowed easily. We laughed. It was so lovely, that I think I shall not blog about him. Not yet anyway. I am just going to call him "I". I like I. 😉 Today was a long, wonderful family day. Went to church with my daughter and son-in-law. Very powerful, uplifting service. After that we went to the horse races. Had a blast. Broke even. Essentially had a free lunch and four hours of entertainment. After the horses, we had yet another Thanksgiving dinner at my niece's place. It was her first turkey. It was amazing! But thank God I had enough willpower to resist the pie! Tomorrow I go for my first physical therapy appointment. Tuesday it is back to the gym!! Happy Sunday!
