The one about my identity theft on eBay, running with Nike and apple by my side, and I have been tagged......

I think I am dreaming:


yep I am...man I am hungry and tired...so this picture is what I do most of the time, while I am on a diet and waking up early to run each morning! mmmmm sushi boat! (insert Homer Simpson hunger talk)


Hey everyone look I just posted another post within one week of each other! I have not done that in forever...well forever is a long time, but long enough for most of yall to not check the blog each day/week(/or even each month)...so as always I apologize for the long time between posts, but I will attempt to be better at it and I promise that somewhere down the line I will apologize again and again and again. Oh well such is life!

Well, live is going good now-a-days. I think every now and then I get into a funk about work/life/children/etc... and my mind tends to deal with everything all at one time and then I find myself sitting in the corner of a padded room with a padded coat and a door with a small window and a small slit in the door that food comes to me every so often......

Well it is not that bad...but I do try to take everything that I need to do in one week or one month and think that it all needs to be done that day! and then I get stressed out and then just shut down and become complacent for a few days (Tiffany would say "more like a few weeks" right here, ha ha) But I am out and I have emerged from the funk... (not depression...just stress, just in cause those of you who care so much about me are getting worried right here...and besides you (readers of the D.G. blog) of all people out there should know that I have a tendency to exaggerate things, ha ha ha)

I contribute many things to getting out of the funk... Finishing my sermon for last week and this week (I will put it up here soon once I polish it and get the right credit to where it is due from where I got my research from), playing around with my new iPod, and playing around with my new Nike+/Apple iPod accessory that gets me out of bed in the morning excited to go run!

That leads me to the Nike+/Apple cool thing I bought!!!!


Man this thing is soooo cool! Ok so if you own an iPod and you work out...then you really should just splurge and shell out $30 to get this product (and some of you would not even consider that a splurge!) What does it do you may ask? (insert annoying tv salesman voice here) Well, let me tell you, heh heh....

Basically the Nike + iPod is two small items..... One plugs directly into your iPod (it is very small and looks just like the other iPod products...crisp and clean design). The other thing is a small round device that is designed to be inserted into special Nike+ shoes. BUT.... I am not going to be suckered into buy new shoes...Especially since I went to a run walk shop and bought shoes that are supposed to be perfect for my feet and run/walk style...so I just did what this guy did and attached the round transmitter to the tongue of my shoe under my shoe laces.

And it works GREAT!

OK so why do I want you to buy one? Well,

#1... It is a great motivator to start/restart to work out! I mean seriously I never want to run or work out and I am loving it now.


#2....Not only can you keep progress of your workouts...but you can actually run with me! Yes that is right...if you get one and sign up then we can challenge one another (unlimited number that I can tell) and we have have races for distance, time, or number of runs all in a specific time...so... you can create a challenge to see who can run the most miles in 14 days (2 weeks)....or the fastest mile in one week...etc... the possibilities are limitless, and for those of you who can actually run a mile or 20 without stopping......(watch out I am coming up from behind, heh) then you can compare your stats with people all over the US and/or the United Kingdom!

This thing really is amazing and I would love some company to run with....even if you really would kick my butt!...So If you own an iPod, join this fat guy and lets go running....well more like a very slow jog and walk for me right now)!

I wonder if they have some way of showing my running progress on this blog? hmmm....

---------------------------

Ok what else is going on?

Well, I got tagged by Markus Watson over @ StreachyChurch Blog (<--- read more about the tag right there) who I prerached for yesterday (Sermon is coming soon to the blog)...so let me get that out of the way...and then tag someone else.... 1. One book that changed your life: (Other than The Bible I am guessing...) The New Testament and the People of God (Christian Origins and the Question of God) by N.T. Wright

2. One book that you ha’ve read more than once:
Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss

3. One book you would want on a desert island:
(again assuming something other than the Bible)
The Lord Of The Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
Throw in The Hobbit (by J.R.R. Tolkien) and The Complete Far Side by Gary Larson and I would be expreamly happy...as long as I had something other than the paper in the books to use for fire and toilet paper)

4. One book that made you laugh:
Praise Habit: Finding God in Sunsets and Sushi by David A. Crowder

5. One book that made you cry:
Moments With The Savior by Ken Gire

6. One book you wish had been written:
a.k.a. "LOST": Discovering Ways To Connect With People Jesus Misses Most by Jim Henderson

7. One book you wish had never been written:
I first was going to say The Book of Discipline of The United Methodist Church...but you know I really do love that book, and it is a part of me and I am a part of it...but sometimes...just like my body it is a love hate relationship, heh.
So..... I guess it would be The Book Of Mormon.

8. One book youÂ’re currently reading:
Seizing Your Divine Moment: Dare to Live a Life of Adventure by Erwin Raphael McManus

9. One book youÂ’ve been meaning to read:

And the tag has been finished... Usually I ignore tags...but it is hard when you want to look smart and show people that you actualy can read! Even though I would have prefered doing movies in the same mannor...oh well.... now what is next.....

-------------------------------------

AAAAHHHHH, Yes! Ebay identity thieft!

Well, I went to check my email and I noticed that in my email junk folder was a few ebay emails telling me that I had posted a few auctions. Well, I just ignored them because I thought they were spoofing emails , phishing emails , or just plain old SPAM. heh.

But, then I got a few in my inbox instead of my junk mail...and so I decided to log into my ebay account and seewhat is up...and yep, someone figured out my password, or secrete queston answer, and they started posting auctions under my name, etc.... it was crazy! I started freaking out and contact ebay and I got it all taken care of.... but it sure was crazy for 2-3 hours though. I immediatly closed the open auctions, and emailed te finished auctions and email the buyers to not pay anything that, because my idienty had been stole and the auctions online were fraud. Ebay suspeded my account so I could change my password and secret question and then opened it back up....I then went on to change my paypal password, email password, etc.... So... this is a prime example to show all of you that you really need to change your password every 4-6 months! Please do this.... I promise you wil save yourself a lot of heartache, stress, and freaking out!!

-----------------------

OK, I know this post was long and I will try to shorten the posts...but I had not been on in a long tme and I know that most people who do not have RSS readers have stopped coming here on a weekly basis...so I wanted to fit it all into one blog post instead of 30, heh....
