Last night I got less than 3 hours of sleep. For some stupid reason I woke up at 2am to use the washroom and was completely unable to fall asleep after that. I did absolutely everything I could to make myself tired– I read a novel, Fail Blog’ed, Facebooked, Twittered, walked around my apartment aimlessly and even applied for a job, but sleep would. not. come. I figured I would sleep after the Hubster left for work. Nope. I figured maybe I’d pass out after a good breakfast and a hot shower. Nope. It was 2pm before I finally managed to nap fitfully for an hour before waking again. *sigh*.…

(My lovely teacher ladies whom I miss terribly) A few weeks ago I wrote a post about how I sometimes feel like I missed the boat with regards to being a part of a group of girlfriends.

Seriously. The first Jurassic Park still scares the crap out of me and I still love love love dinosaurs. I kind of want to watch The Land Before Time next… the original movie, not #142, or whatever one they are up to now. haha!
