I didn't go to bed until midnight and now I am really sore--legs, neck, back, hips...but I woke up smiling.

Yesterday we went to the farmers' market--not much to get, but some pork chops, a sweet potato, and bread from Luna. Then we went to Democratic HQ and got some work done. Then we went to Kroger and bought a couple things. Then we went home. After a couple hours, Ray went and cut up a big tree that had fallen down--he had been there last year and there was still some left. I joined  him and helped wrestle the logs to the truck. Then home for the second shower of the day and we managed to watch most of Phenomenon, a movie with John Travolta we hadn't seen before.

We were a little late to Groovy Nights, a benefit for Project Safe. I was supposed to be trying on outfits, doing my hair and makeup. Most things I couldn't get into and I wanted to be comfortable for dancing, so I just went in my jeans and a t-shirt, but I found the white lipstick to wear. There were many interesting outfits, including a lot of storm troopers and other characters from Star Wars. Janna and Ron and John O. were there with us. Janna was especially critiquing the clothes and music, because some were from the 60s or even the 80s, instead of the 70s. And, of course, we didn't really dress like that. There was a girl in roller skates (50s?) and short shorts with a sequined halter top. She won the costume competition. We danced to Abba and other music, but there was no Elton John, no Moody Blues, no Rolling Stones, no Led Zeppelin...Great silent auction items, but the restaurant meals went for a lot. Somehow, we ended up with a package including 6 ballroom dance lessons. Interesting. I'm looking forward to it.
