Did you turn out the lights?

So...we did turn out all the lights for earth hour...I actually had all the candles going by 7pm tonight. So our entire family, Caiti home from Kelowna and the dogs sat in the dark with the big screen tv going...it was pretty dark all around us. It was really rather silly but we did our part to support the cause...well with the lights but we could not imagine turning the idiot box off...we might have all started bickering if we had to spend an hour together talking eh?

Anyway...we sold the jeep today to dave. Caiti had gone out to UBC to visit her friends Danie and Kirky so we picked her up and went down to English Bay for our Tampopo sushi as we always do whenever Caiti comes home for a visit.
Then we went for a drive in the new RAV all the way to West Van to look at all the fancy waterfront homes, then to Costco to stock up the fridge and then home. Chrissy wanted us to go for a walk but we were all a little tired but she went with Sheba for a 6km walk and luckily for her she got back to her car before the hail pelted down like golfballs.
I bought Eckhart Tolle's book "A New Earth -Awakening to your life's purpose" and plan to read it since Oprah has been going on and on about it. He lives in BC and I am really interested in what he has to say! I am open to finding out about consciousness and since he is not aligned to any specific religion, his spirituality intrigues me and I am open to all opinions! My spirit needs to be lifted and I need to find a new sense of self.
Anyway...Earth Hour day come to a close...so off to read in bed my new book!!!
