Random thoughts

Lots of time for random thoughts this week as I sat at the hospital with my dad.  

Like when I checked my blog stats it says people have located my blog through an acidreflux site, a masters degree online site and sicknessense.com....huh?   how does that happen?

You know you are up late when regular programings stops on TV and the evangelical shows start.  I generally find myself fascinated by these things, trying to see how they compare to what I believe as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints.  The one I caught this week was on thinking positive and having faith and trusting in Jesus, that fits well.  Would have stayed up to catch more if it wasn't already 2am.....then again, at 2am I am generally so tired I could bend anything to fit with what I believe. 

I discovered I can download books free from amazon.com and watch them on the free kindle app on my droid phone....SCORE!!!   now to find books worth reading.  I already have the scriptures on my phone, but I am not quite good enough to just sit and read scriptures for hours on end, maybe someday.

My son introduced me to the Lumosity.com website, full of games designed to improve brainpower, and who doesn't want more brainpower? hmmm maybe he was trying to tell me something??? oh well,  also fun and addicting enough for me to spring for the 14.99 one month membership.  I don't know if it will really improve my brainpower but it is kind of fun to try and work through a maze using your direction buttons while the maze is spinning.  Haven't quite mastered that one yet, who am I kidding, not even close!  I am however good at locating birds and remembering the letter shown at the same time, I think that one comes from being a mom, your peripheral vision gets really good.

It's good for me to find another obsession, I have almost caught up on all of the old NCIS episodes, I could tell myself I watched it because I always wanted to be a navy detective so I find it fascinating, but that would be a lie, it's Mark Harmon and the other actors I find fascinating, they actually manage to incorporate the idea that family comes above all else into a crime solving show.   Playing lumonisity games in my spare time will give the illusion that I am working on something that will make me better, instead of just sitting in front of the TV. 

Football started, feels like fall.  I discovered I really like watching football, but I really don't like people sitting around for hours talking about other people playing football.....

Oh well, that covers a very small portion of the random thoughts I had this week, I could probably write a novel the size of war and peace if I tried to write them all down, and it would be just about as boring!

Since dads home now it's time to get back on track and start doing stuff again, instead of just thinking about or reading about doing stuff!

PS.  some of the Joel Osteen religious show must have rubbed off because I made sure my prayers were totally positive this morning so I would be starting out on the right foot this morning.
