Baby its cold outside!

Working away on our flags



Not the best photo- my camera phone
kinda made it look like we folded the
flags in 1978.



I made myself go running tonight... outside.  I would have preferred indoors, but knew if I went to my gym at home I would stop by my apartment first and not go back out.  And if you were wondering it is a chilly 36 degrees outside.  I am not amused.  The actual run wasn't so bad and I got in three miles around the Horseshoe after my exam tonight.  The ride home however was miserable as I started to cool back down.  It has been a very chilly week so far and it is very hard to get motivated to do anything (and if you live somewhere cold and are laughing at me- this is very harsh weather for us).  Which is why it is nice when you have a cause or a reason to get out there.  I have been battling awful sinus issues this week and have not felt like doing anything but last night I forced myself to go to my sorority's alumnae meeting because we were folding flags for deploying troops.  One of our members is involved with seeing off the troops who are flying out of one of Columbia's airstrips and she puts together pocket flags for the soldiers to take with them overseas.  This is our second year of folding flags and it feels nice to send them off with a little bit of home and a reminder that someone is thinking of them.
