I have a whole bunch of work to do today…so go ahead, ask me what I’m doing blogging instead of working…

Sigh.

In the completely random news department, I got a call from a guy at the YMCA on Saturday. I had called about a position teaching cheerleading several weeks ago, but never heard back from him. Out of nowhere, he calls, wants to know if I’m still interested and if so, can I come in today and fill out an application. Uh, sure…so then he wants me to come back on Sunday at noon to do paperwork and such. (this wouldn’t have been a bad thing, except there was someplace I really would have preferred to be…heehee. I ended up being there for TWO hours. blech.)

It’s a once-a-week class, teaching fundamentals to kids between 5 and 13. And oh, the class starts THIS FRIDAY. Ack!

The pay is next-to-nothing, but in exchange for doing something I actually like to do for an hour a week, I get a free membership to the Y, plus great experience working with kids to put on my resume. I think it’s a win-win.

Been listening to Carbon Leaf, and I think this might be my current favorite song, from their new CD Indian Summer:

(for anyone who doesn’t know, my favorite songs change frequently…)

Raise the Roof

Raise the roof, that I might see the stars
to gain wisdom to see things for what they are
Please, I need proof

Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof

Trapped in this snare with too much dreaming to bear
Fearful and frantic, hopeless and a romantic
Inspired but tired, I run this wide-open course
Like the sagging spirit of an older horse

Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof

Peel back this backdrop like the lids from my eyes
Put you in plain view, let me visualize
Touch me again in my dreams till I feel
Touch me again till I wake and it’s real

Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof

The wisest advice to me that I didn’t teach
was to lock up the heart but keep the key within reach
Touch me again in my dreams till I feel
Touch me again till I wake and it’s real

Dance till you fall
Love till you die
Shut your mouth
Raise the roof
