I am doing absolutely nothing today!  I’m exhausted.  Between prepping the house for your brother and his visit and doing report cards, awards and teaching – I’m just done.  I’m going to stay in comfortable mismatched clothes all day.  I may decorate the house for the holidays, BUT only until I get tired of doing it. I do enjoy my alone time very much.  Before my sister was adopted, I was alone for many years.  I love the peace.  I love turning on music and dancing all by myself.  You feel so free.  I have definitely learned this life lesson well.

Ashlee Simpson has a cool song called Dancing Alone.  I wish it was more about being comfortable with yourself.  I think we need more songs that say this.  Every one acts your so unsocial if you want a few hours to yourself.  You know I miss you.  You know any romantic connotation in the song is to be dismissed.  I like the beat.  I like Ashlee’s uniqueness (or I did before she became a carbon cut out of her sister Jessica).  Today, I’m dancing alone to this music.  Get your earbuds out, go into the bathroom, pretend to be using it and dance alone – with me. 🙂
