Insomniac Blog, Part Deux

So, I have to get up in four and a half hours and I'm wide awake. I'm not even kinda tired. I usually can't sleep on Sunday nights anyway, but this is really late for a school night. I wish I was one of those people that could get by on a few hours of sleep and still be able to function like a normal human, but I'm just not. I am going to be hating life tomorrow. (I'm sure Dean will be, too, since I'll be in such a pleasant mood!) And this is my last break until summer. But on the bright side, in 11 more weeks I can embrace my inner night owl and stay up as late as I want and then take as many naps as I want and do whatever I want. I remember my first year out of college when all I had to do was teach 30 lessons a week and work a few shifts at Old Navy. I went to the gym everyday, laid out by the pool in the afternoons, and only had to get up before 7 one day a week. Of course, I was also broke. Maybe if I could find a nice sugar daddy then I could go back to being fit, tan, and rested.
I really do live in a fantasy world!!

Random thoughts.......

I'm a night owl and I can't wait til the summer when I can stay up as late as I want every night. I love staying up late. I don't know why, but I do. Love it.

Who decided that there would be sesame seeds on hamburger buns? It's kinda weird.

I have developed a huge crush on Jude Law. Saw a movie with him in it earlier this week and he is one tall drink of water. I'm still madly in love with Zach Braff, though. (Don't tell him about Jude!) Perhaps someday I will develop a crush on someone who actually knows I'm alive. Perhaps someday I will actually meet someone that is single in the suburbs. Perhaps I live in a fantasy world.

Moving on........Have I mentioned that I'm ready for the summer? I'm ready to have this school year behind me. I'm ready to have the time fix up my kitchen! I will be painting the cabinets black. I've got some good ideas on new paint colors for the kitchen and living room. I've ordered some tile samples for the back splash. I just need to find hardware for the cabinets. Home improvements are fun.

I'm going to make muffins in the morning! Yum!

I've been contemplating the idea of taking my showers at night to save some time in the morning. I figure I could get 45 more minutes of sleep in the morning if I do. Whenever I do this I have to pull my hair up, but seriously, who are we kidding? Like there are any single guys at Trinity Springs that need to see my hair down anyway. And if I could get a little extra sleep I might not be so moody. I'll have to weigh the options........messy pony tail hair or better mood??

Good night......

Home Improvements

So, I think Natasha's color inspirations have rubbed off on me a little and I went on a shopping spree today in a vain attempt to add some color to my kitchen. I found some super cute stuff and now I really want to do some other stuff, too! I got a new "curtain". It needs to be hemmed because it is too long and probably cut up the middle to let the sunlight in. (Maybe if I ask nicely then a good friend that lives close by and knows how to sew will help me!)

Here are a few new things from the shopping trip. I'm going to hang the canvas pictures some where else and I need some more fake limes to fill up the rest of the vase.

I've been seriously thinking about painting my cabinets black lately. I uploaded my picture to a program that lets you paint on your photo. So here's what my kitchen would look like with black cabinets. I would have to repaint (again) to lighten up the walls and I would add some silver hardware to all of the cabinets to dress it up. I also want to add a tile backsplash to the wall in the picture.....probably a tile that is glass. I can see it in my head! I have to say that I really love the black cabinets! Am I crazy?

New Music Needed!!

I need some new tunes to listen to! I'm taking suggestions..........


Side Note - this rain SUCKS! And it's cold again. Guess I need to go get some more movies. I'll take suggestions on those, too........

Sunny Sunday, Dreary Monday

Hard to believe that there was five inches of snow on the ground a little over a week ago. Sunday was so nice! I went downtown for breakfast and saw green trees!!!! It was such a nice day that I could open my windows and let in some warm spring air. Today sucks. It's muggy and cloudy and supposed to rain.



I decided to actually use the Blockbuster gift card I got for Christmas and rent a few movies. I watched The Last King of Scotland and Who Killed the Electric Car. Both were good views. I don't recommend the TLKofS if you need a feel good film and I don't recommend WKtheEC if you voted for W.

Day 1 of Spring Break

Day 1 of Spring Break = killer migraine. Why????

Almost Spring, Time for a Snow Storm!

Ya know, a week before spring break is definitely the right time for a snow storm. I don't remember when I ever saw it snow this much in Texas. I felt like I was in Michigan, because that's the only place I've ever seen 5 inches of snow at once. Of course, all of this snow was gone within 24 hours and it certainly made for an interesting drive to work Friday, but it was really fun getting to watch the giant snow flakes fall.

Here is the view from my front porch:

And I forgot to post this picture! Congrats Amy and Josh on your engagement!!!!!!

Obama Rama

Tara and I went to the Obama Rally on Thursday! We had a time trying to get to a parking garage, but luckily we found one a few blocks away. On the walk to the convention center we stopped to get Tara a sandwich and she shoveled it in while waiting in line:

We had a two hour wait once we got in. What are the odds that Jennifer and Delaina would walk right by us trying to find a seat? We even had two empty seats next to us. Here they are doing the wave:

And then the moment we'd all been waiting for!! Barack!! Can you find him in the picture?
Here he is on the jumbo-tron:

It was a very surreal experience, but as inspiring as I'd hoped it would be. I'm encouraged by his vision and very hopeful that he will win in Texas! I can't wait til March 4th. Remember Texans, you have to vote in order to caucus. You have to vote before 7 pm and you have to be at your caucus site before 7 pm because they will close the doors then!

On another note, I can't believe it is March already!
