Wknd in the Mtns... The Nature Place

Leading at the Edge Wknd... wow, what a great way to bring the classroom into the natural world, good times!

Leading at the Edge: This course uses the experiences & accomplishments of the 10th Mountain Division as a metaphor for values-based leadership, innovation, teamwork, & global perspective. It challenges students to work as a team & evaluate their abilities in a difficult changing mountain setting. The result is stronger bonds within the cohort, team-building skills & increased self-awareness.

My PMBA class went down south in the mtns to the Nature Place in Florrisant, CO. 3 fun-filled days of compass learning, map reading, pacing, hiking, orienteering, knot tying, rope dangling, rock climbing, repelling, team building, critical thinking, leadership training, trust building, values testing, challenging our minds, and other activities. It was a great experience to learn more about myself and others. It was a bit colder in the mtns but the sun still shined through to keep in the 60s. We learned everything we needed to on Day 1 and Day 2, so by Day 3 it was live or die (no not literally, it was a controlled environment, a ranch). As a team, they dropped us off in the woods to navigate around on our own, no more guides. There were very interesting situations and scenerios to get through. My team did great in each one! Go F n E!

111th New Thing - Took a Zyrtec

If you recall, I went to the dermatologist to get a skin screening for the 1st time back in December. When I was there, the doctor did a biopsy of 1 of the moles on my back (which came back as normal, by the way). The area was healing pretty well until about 2 weeks ago. The area around the wound started getting bigger instead of smaller and oozing. Therefore, I went back to my doctor to check it out. She said I was having an allergic reaction to something, probably the Neosporin . She gave me some new ointment, Vanos , and said I should take Zyrtec until the area starts to get better. Vanos (fluocinonide) Cream is indicated for the relief of the inflammatory and pruritic manifestations of corticosteroid responsive dermatoses in patients. Best results are seen if used twice per day. Zyrtec (cetirizine) is an antihistamine that reduces the effects of natural chemical histamine in the body. Histamine can produce symptoms of sneezing, itching, watery eyes, and runny nose. Zyrtec can be u...

364th New Thing - Ate a Mini Lemon Bites

My co-workers birthday was today so to celebrate they bought her a vanilla cake, a chocolate cake, and mini lemon bites from Costco . I had some chocolate cake and a mini lemon bite. These are made by Upper Crust Bakery . They supply Sam's Club, Starbucks, Costco, Kroger, Whole Foods, and BJ’s Wholesale Club. Both desserts that I ate tasted good. According to the Livestrong Calorie Tracker , 1 mini lemon bite is 130 calories, 19 g carbs, and 1 g protein. What did you do today?
