Where Is Mr. Sandman When You Need Him?

It's after 2:30 AM and I can't fall asleep. I've been in bed since about 11. I've tried counting sheep, listening to my iPod, everything. I eventually gave up and turned to the laptop for some company. I've just been surfing the web and eating trail mix. Yeah, I have the munchies.

I slept until almost 3 today. Hence why I can't sleep now. I was just knocked out. Jeff woke me up before he left for work and we talked for a bit. I think I drifted back to sleep before he even had a chance to back out of the driveway. I slept like a baby for the rest of the afternoon.

It seems like I'm always tired lately. There are very few nights when I don't sleep for at least 10 hours. I have the worst trouble trying to fall asleep at night, though. Some nights I resort to taking Benadryl because I hate being up alone. That just leaves me feeling groggy the following day, though, so I only take it when I feel that it is absolutely necessary.

Still no bites in the employment pond. I am half-tempted to go stand on the side of the road with the Mexicans waiting for work.

Toby keeps eating his own poo. It started after Alexis left. I kept finding rocks under the coffee table and I was like, "What the hell?" Then, I finally caught him. He'd bring in his dried up crap and eat it - leaving behind the rocks that were stuck to it. How in the world do I get him to stop?

Jeff took me to see "Twilight" on Sunday night. It was pretty good. There were things I could have done without, but I will still watch the other parts when they come out. Jeff is such a trooper for sitting through it with me.

Christmas is rapidly approaching, which means that soon Jeff's dad will be here. I'm so nervous about meeting him. I am still not sure what to get Jeff for Christmas. Any suggestions?

I just wanted to remind everyone that my birthday is less than two months away. Don't worry, though. I'll keep you posted so you CAN'T forget. :)

My niece is still not here. What's the hold up? I had my money on a Sunday birth. So, I officially change my prediction to Thursday. I'd like to be notified ASAP. I've come to terms with the fact that I will always be the last person to hear the news, so no need to rush the phone call. I can't wait to have news of my own. It's the only time I will be the first to know everything.

Pictures. Send lots of pictures, people.

Tomorrow Jeff works from 10 AM until probably 9 PM or later. That is going to suck. I guess that I will just tune into fearnet and watch some more scary movies. I've about had it with Lifetime and their cheesy dramas.

I'm such a nerd. I'm really addicted to Food Network - especially Paula Deen. Anyway, since I've been watching her, I've found myself resisting the urge to say "ya'll". It is so wrong. I am not Madonna and I do not take on the accent of those that I'm surrounded by.

I've suggesting blogs to everyone that I can think of, but to no avail. I highly enjoy writing the nonsense that I do, but I LOVE to read other people's business even more. So, if you are reading this: please go write a blog!

Anyway, I am going to snoop through some random blogs before I try again to hit the hay.

Love,
