Poppies and other stuff

I just wanted to post the pictures of the poppies I took the weekend before last. Hope you enjoy.

Priorities

I’m sorry to stop when I’m almost a quarter of the way through this year’s blogging project but I must do what I must do if I want to hit my goals for this year. I don’t need to worry about blogging on a daily basis. I’d rather spend the little energy I have left when I get home reading or working on putting together information packets for my business.

Blogging is an unnecessary distraction. So, while I won’t be blogging everyday like I’ve been doing, I’m definitely going to try to blog once a month just to give an update on how/what I’m doing.

Day 72

Don’t forget to turn your clocks forward 1 hour.

Day 71

I haven’t been feeling well lately. I think it’s the constant change in weather that has everybody’s sinuses going wackadoo. I know quite a few people with pneumonia. I’m trying to stay far, far away from them too because I don’t want to get sick.

I’m very anxious to get my taxes done. I still need to do my travel logs but I won’t have time to do any of that this weekend. I’ll be headed to Bakersfield tomorrow.

Sorry for the short posts. I didn’t realize how much this blogging thing would take up my time. When I was in grad school, I was already on my computer so much it didn’t matter if I took a break from my studies to goof around a bit as blogging was my only break. But now that I have other things on my plate, I’m rarely home enough to do any blogging. I still haven’t figured out how to blog from my iPhone.

Surprising

I’ve never written any serious posts about our President.

I remember a conversation I heard while deployed to Afghanistan. I group of 30 something black men were discussing Obama’s chances at the Oval Office. One in particular commented Obama didn’t have a chance of being elected because he’s married to a black woman.

Michelle, is not Halle Berry, Mariah Carey, or Carly Simon black. She’s just black. I’m personally not used to seeing a black with Obama’s high ambitions being attracted to, let alone being married to a black woman.

And I don’t actually care. I was shocked for about 5 seconds. And then I started thinking about food.

I still haven’t written any serious posts about our President.

Peace

Aches

I went to crossfit again tonight. I had fun. I still don’t like working out. Why do people torture themselves? My body aches!

At least crossfit is short (but intense). The only thing worse than working out, is working out for hours.

I wish I had more to blog about but I’m tired and I have to get up at 0400 hours to pray. So off to bed I go!

My graphic tonight is super lame.

More rain

Shavonne — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 05:25:16 +0000

I like the rain we’ve been getting. It comes and goes but never stays for days at a time. That’s the one thing I like about the rainy season in California.

I remember the monsoon season in Korea. Once the rain started, it never seemed to stop. It made living difficult because the buildings I worked and lived in molded.

I wish I could find all those pictures. I must have them on my iPod.

Dang. I need to get better file management.

Anyways, in a few weeks, I’ll be able to go take some photos of the poppy reserve. I don’t think the flowers will bloom like they did in 2005 but I still like to get out there with my point and shoot and take some pics.

Calling it a night

Shavonne — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:05:08 +0000

I don’t feel like blogging. I’ll try to blog about something worthwhile tomorrow. I need to get to bed.

Uneventful day

Shavonne — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 06:23:47 +0000

I didn’t do much today except go to the Toastmasters contest. I have four speeches left and I can’t wait to finish as I will have more time to work on other things that are more important.

It seemed to rain all day today. The rain always makes me a little depressed. I came home did some shopping and took a very, very long nap.

My body aches from crossfit. I need to dope myself up and get back to sleep.
