Out with the old, in with the new

I had an old blog I typed away on, then read Oprah's book pick: Eckhart Tolle's: A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, and I awoke!

It is a wonderful, freeing feeling. So, I needed a new blog.

Also, it is a glorious day. It was supposed to rain, but I woke up to a terrific spring day of blue skies, 70 degree weather, the kids playing outside, and the birds chirping. So, I am computing outside. I think I need to invite a sort of shade to attach to the computer screen so I can see better, but I will make due.

I chaperoned a post-prom party last night with my friend. I had to work from 11 pm to 5 am. Now, I am a person who needs my sleep and usually is in bed by 9:30. But, I planned accordingly, took a cat nap yesterday afternoon, then fell asleep watching tv last night until 10:30, woke up and was ready to go.

My friend just makes me laugh the whole night. We also teach at the school, so we know a lot of the kids. Our job: guard the gym door to make sure no one goes out and check sleeping bags to make sure they aren't doing anything inappropriate. Surprisingly, there wasn't any music, so we sang every song we could think of from Kermit's "Rainbow Connection" to "Mickey" to "Paradise by the Dashboard Light". They had a lot of those blow up bouncing things, so we jumped, we jousted, we got temporary tattooes (one on the back of my neck and one on my lower back, hee hee), watched a hypnotist, and ate and ate. It was fun and went by fast.

Home at 5 am, slept until 1 pm. I normally can't sleep past 7 am, so this was a treat. And, alas, we are back to the beginning of my post, where I showered, opened all the windows, grabbed the computer, and joined the sunshine!

Ahhhhhhh!
