Volunteering is good for the soul

Over spring break, (March 22 people, sorry I have not updated,) I was given the opportunity to volunteer for something incredible!! 
Our town has the Masonic Temple, a massive building of stone and wonder.  Off limits to the public except for occasional weddings and events.  I will always call it by that name, but The Salina Innovation Foundation has done amazing things with it!!

They are a non profit organization and they have so many neat-o things that are going on!!

This morning I was able to participate in the FREE yes, FREE yoga and breathing session. We didn't do anything that required too much movement and the instructor was soothing. 
After that I enjoyed some coffee and a tour of the building.  It would have been my third but I enjoy seeing this building. 
It was raining hard that morning and the leaks in the roof were evident.  When we went to see the theater, the water on the floor was a quick fix.  We placed a few buckets and a mat down and we were good to go.  The backdrop from the night before needed to be raised so I watched in wonder as it was done. 

After the tour I grabbed some tea and listened while the day was planned out. 
Luna the dog was let out and she is such a cute dog!!  She is playful and also vigilant. 
She would not leave one of the doors alone.  Turns out, there was a kitten!!

I bet your day doesnt involve dogs and kittens!!  I had so much fun playing with her.  We decided to move her up into the office but needed to clean the area first.  So I followed the crew upstairs and helped move things, make them neater and safer for the kitten to be around. 
We moved her up into the office and she wanted to just stick around!!  She loved following us as we walked in and out. 

Used the vacuum to clean the Gargoyle room after the Saint Patrick's day pub crawl.  I also picked all the decorations up off the tables and around the room. 

In the afternoon, after lunch, I packed the decorations into boxes and took a look at the amazing artwork that was going up! 
I learned about the plans that they have to start a visitors center and a museum for the Masons who are still using the fourth and fifth floors. 
There is a pop up restaurant opening up as well and it will help get them on their feet!

Like I said, I love to help volunteer and who doesnt love free, dogs, and kittens!?

I have no idea

I did not know that my sister was going to have such a beautiful cake made for my sons party.  It made me cry.

the party went well! he had fun!

phone is still lost.

A while before a post.

Im getting worse about posting and I am sorry!!

i have no idea what is going on in my life thus far.  THe guy i was dating hasnt spoken to me in over a month and wont annswer anyform of communication i try.  Short of going to his house, becasue his parents scare me...

Lil guy's bday is monday, trying not to cry over it.
We are having his birhtday party today and not a lot of people can come like I invited.  I hope he doesnt mind just having the family because it seems that is all that is coming with the exception of my long time friend who has a kik only a month older than him.  :D

we made cookies and bought cake and are grilling so this will be fun! it is solar system themed.  Kid knos so much about the planets

Been working out with my friend.

Lil guy is reading. like actual sentences!  sounding the words out and all

My phone has been lost into the void, I have not been able to find it.

we had a fish infected with ich so we had to clean the whole tank and pretty much all the fish died.  It was heart breaking.  Umbreon and his twin are still alive and so is ONE of my sisters angel fish.  and two small red gourmis and two big gourmis

Starwars Group

another successful night at lightsaber club :D

oh how i wish i could convey the amazing feeling it is to hold the hilt of a powerful weapon in your hand and be able to mold the minds of the future.

We had a great time last night, starting with pizza and pop, our first snack night :D
Lightsaber Club is one of the best things i have ever joined!!  it is such a blast to have such great friends around even if it is only once a week.

Last night was great because we had a LOT of people stop by and join us in our dueling.  I gave out all of the club cards that I had with me.

My favorite group that stopped by was a family.  A girl and her two brothers and their mom and dad.  We stopped and let them play with the sabers and that girl just kicked butt!!  she was amazing at it!!

As we were wrapping up for the night, a group of kids I taught at school before they graduated came by and joined us.  I had the pleasure of being able to help them learn some attacking and defending moves.

I hope that this continues as we go on in the year and in the future.

I may just have to make a blog for the group ;p

Club- Starwars!!

Hey guys!! I see a lot of you following sweet prince on his blog, but hey i have one too lol.

I started going to a club (link if you have a facebook!)  Salina Kansas StarWars Fans, Lightsaber Dueling, Collectors and Cosplay
It is so awesome!!
i am having so much fun with these guys!!!

We meet every weekend (Sunday nights) at the local park and everyone brings a saber, but there are some there for those who have not got one at the moment!!
I dont have one (yet)  but i like learning with what is provided!!
Plus it is just so chill.  No pressure to do anything and we all have a collective mindset *meaning we all like about the same things :D


I shall see if i can get pictures to upload maybe a video too!! the video is of The Fearless Leader doing his thing

so this is me (blue)  and one of the other members striking a pose

things

baby got a fish for doing good.  He chose a dragon fish.  i hope that it does okay.  I honestly do not know anything about them.  I have actually been doing research on them and they seem fairly easy to take care of.  He was just so excited to have it happen!

Update:  its been since july 11 and the dragon fish is doin okay.  We cleaned it just like the directions said to and he died like four hours later.  Kiddo is takin  it well.  He just really wants another one.

Update: Our filter needed to be fixed.  So we bought a new one.  it is cleaning things much better.

I have been going to the gym much more frequently.  It helps when you have a friend to motivate you!! She is super knowledgeable on the equipment and we always map out a plan when we are going. I have been trying very hard to keep up with her at her pace but it is clear i am not as ready for it!! I could probably out do her on weights but everything else, I think she is far superior to me.

My food eating has gotten better too.  It helps when things go the way you want them to and you can pay for better food.

School starts up again soon, and I am actually super ready for it!!  I hope so much that I can be in the same classes as i was last year, but I am actually good to do what ever they need me to do.

i am trying not to spend a lot of money on the new clothes coming into the store because I know i have enough and I just do not need more!  I just need to remember to do the laundry haha.

It Is not going so great on the romantic front.  I have been trying to talk to my guy, but he has not been talking.  He has gone into a sort of depression really and I try to get him out of the house and do things, but he doesnt.  He also has missed our group meetings two weeks in a row, but hey no biggie he can catch up if he ever pulls himself together.  

I joined a Star wars fan club group, and we do do lightsaber dueling!!  i am learning to duel with a lightsaber!!!!!!  Im actually pretty good at it too.  :D

Habits

I had not been to the gym regularly because of just random things. I started going again because I didnt like the way i was always tired and sluggish.  I just wanted to feel good about myself again.
I have a membership so i better use it.

The first night a friend went with me.  We just did some abs and a little light cardio to get our bodies reminded of what it feels like to work out.  The next night she worked late so i went alone.  I did legs. lots and lots of leg work.  Last night we went and did a warm up on the bikes, then alternated between abs and arms in a ten set rotation.

I am totally feeling it today, but it is so worth it!  I am feeling better.

Now i just need to make sure that my diet follows through as well (read that as DO NOT EAT AN ENTIRE PACK OF TWIZZLERS JES!!!)

I am also getting back into writing.  Which makes me feel good about myself when i can write something down from my own imagination lol
