Mind, Body, Soul

As if attending interminable Professional Development wasn't enough, you should definitely throw in Country Line Dancing.  Think I'm kidding?  We had our second to last professional development yesterday and it was one that we got invited to.  Invitations in our mailboxes and everything.  We were to wear comfortable shoes, bring a water bottle, and a copy of our favorite book.  I brought in Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life (That book is hilarious).  First things first, there are about 50 teachers at my school and we were each given a card with a fruit on it.  We then had to make a fruit basket, so you had to find other people with different cards to make these baskets.  It took like 15 minutes for everyone to figure out how to do this.  It doesn't SOUND that hard, but trust me, it was.  We were now in three groups we would do rotations of Mind, Body, and Soul.  In Mind, we talked about our books and gave each other recommendations.  It was nice.  In body, we had to do some Tai Chi breathing exercises all I could think of was Mom doing "cloudy hands."  Then we went to soul where some nice jewish boy made us a smoothie using a blender powered by a bike.  But it wasn't over.  We had country line dancing lessons.  It was totally bizarre.  I swore if they put on the Cha Cha slide I was quitting.  Sometimes I feel like Chelsea and think, is this my life? No. This couldn't be my life.

Countdown to P-Burgh: Tomorrow.  I guess I'm not very good at countdowns.
