the sun is up

the sun is up, and so am i. actually, i have been awake for hours, and finally i decided to get on the computer and try to make myself tired enough to actually sleep.
altho to tell the truth, i'm sort of enjoying watching the sun come up. my computer sits by a second floor window and there is a tree right in front of the window. thru the tree, behind the house across the street, the sky is turning a wonderful red. over the porch roof, to the ground below, the very white daisies are dancing in the wind.
and there goes the street sweeper, around the corner and down the block. noisy rite of spring.

last night i took sara and her kids to chrissy's bridging ceremony. she is now officially a brownie, and so proud. i can't beleive i forgot my camera, but there it is, sitting on my desk, emptied and ready to go. we'll have to get a picture of chrissy in her new brownie sash later and learn how to put it in here.

in between dropping becca off at work and picking up sara and the kids, i stopped at borders for a cup of tea and to browse the store. i found a new exercise video i can't wait to try out -- fusion belly dance. it looks great. yay, something new to motivate me.

and now back to bed to try to catch a few hours of sleep.
