So, all day we’d planned on how we’d spend Earth Hour tonight, starting at 8 pm. Golfer and Hubby had tickets to the Nuggets game, so Naturalist and I decided to read by candlelight (with Sassy hopefully sound asleep for the night).
We ate lunch, had friends over, cleaned up, ate dinner, blah blah blah, it’s now 8:45 and when I booted up the computer it hit me that WE TOTALLY MISSED Earth Hour. Or, half of it. We have lights on, TV on (Battle of the Bulge on Military Channel), we just blended up some chocolate shakes using our electric blender, and I’m surfing the Net. Oops.
Naturalist looked out the window and saw that one of our neighbors still had their lights on, too…but many others had candles flickering.
To make up for our oversight, we are planning another Blackout day like the one I blogged about in December. Golfer will be thrilled.

That’s kind of a bummer eh? We had a great time and now that we’ve done it, I might have an easier time getting them to go for a Blackout day.
I didn’t even know about Earth Hour until it was over. Perhaps we’ll do a blackout time, too!
Well– I had hoped that my kids would do earth hour, but my sister who was babysitting said it would interfer with popcorn and movie she had planned for them.
I was in a casino filled with lights, clanging, smoke, rum, etc… Not very wholesome or earthy. In fact, I think it was the Anti-Earthy. Yeah- it was as anti-earthy as you could get on the planet. But hey!! I won $800 on the penny slot machine. So earth hour be damned. Oh oh did I say da*n?
I’m getting punchy.
Love your blog.
