Monday: why I need to emulate my cat
The last post was boring. I'm trying again.
Flurry loves yogurt. It could easily be her favorite food by the way she acts around it. She tries to get it using one tactic, and when she is pushed away she tries a different tactic. Then a third tactic. Then back to the first.
My prayer life needs to be persistent like my cat trying to get yogurt. My cat is almost always successful, why shouldn't I be?

Monday: whoa
Work was either a lot of fun or frustrating today. Needless to say, I was rather out of it by the time I left work.

Sunday: bridal shower
Today I went to a bridal shower for a friend from church. It was for all the women of the church, but I still got a personal invitation. Where am I going with this? It's nice to be getting to know some more people and start feeling a bit more like the church is home rather than just a place I go. It is nice to have people recognize me and know enough about them that there can be some real conversations, not just superficial stuff.
However, I'm still new enough that I wasn't asked to be on the planning committee for this event, which didn't hurt my feelings in the least. There were only a gazillion gifts and I was able to sneak out a little early because I was tired.

Saturday
Today I played with some photos in Picasa after talking with Laura about it yesterday. I made the background black and white and kept myself colorful.
Friday: breaking news
If you're doing CPR to a person, you are no longer supposed to stop and breathe for them. There is enough O2 in the blood and the CPR-giver can't move the blood enough for the O2 to run out.

Thursday: if people could fly like superman
A few days ago on my walk I contemplated what it would be like if people could fly like superman. Well, like superman meaning no wings. Probably a speed of about 25 mph would be like an easy walk.
Would there be such a "global economy"? Because if 25 mph is an easy distance to fly, there might not be the need for such a big transportation infrastructure.
Would people be in better shape? You can fly farther faster than walking, so maybe. This might depend on the road system and if that is even an option.
How would movement of goods work? It seems like we would either need a clever thing to carry/pull around with us while we fly or...vehicles. Wow, it all comes back to vehicles and roads.
