I'll be heading home after work today. It's been much too long since I've been home. It's a marathon day for me with work, then 3 plane rides before I arrive in NOLA. I'm sure I'll be exhausted when I get there tomorrow morning. And I'm sure I'll be happy to be home again. I'm hoping to visit with family, eat delicious food, visit with friends, check out the parish for post-K progress, and do some scrapbooking up in Natchez for a couple of days. I know I'm in for a rude awakening temperature wise. We've had a week of 50s and 60s out here and 90s are the forcast for the entire week I'll be home. Getting my sweat glands ready! It's all good. I'm going home!!!
Sometimes life takes you on some sharp right hand turns.
What is a Blow Horn?
In August 2007, I was in Maui, Hawaii with friends Dave and Karen Massey and we were traveling along a narrow winding road on the northwestern side of the island. I spotted a sign that read "Blow Horn" with a right hand turn indicated. Being from Louisiana, where I have never driven on mountain roads I did not understand this sign. I honestly believed the arrow was guiding me to a phenomenon called a 'blow horn'. After several signs as we wound up and down and around the mountainside, I said out loud, "hmmm...blow horn... it must mean a sharp right hand turn". Karen laughed hysterically realizing I truly did not get that the sign meant 'honk your horn' so that any oncoming traffic coming the opposite direction around the mountain switchback would know I was coming. We laughed about blow horns for the rest of my trip.
I realized, the more I thought about blow horns as a sharp right hand turn, the more I realized I have already started making some blow horns in my life. And I am ready for even more sharp right hand turns in my lifestyle, nutrition, and physical activity.
