Something to fall back on. Or not.

I have had trouble sleeping the last few nights. I just wake up in the night (the dog doesn't wake me up...for once!) and just lay there. Last night I finally got up to go to the bathroom and my bedding was a mess - a true sign of tossing & turning. Anyway, here are a few things I've been pondering on these sleepless nights:

-Whatever happened to Lauryn Hill?

-Where did Clear Pepsi disappear to?

-Who do I pay to make my kids have adorable dimples like Violet Affleck?

-Is my Iranian boss hard on his daughter's suitors?

-Who in the heck is Nathan Kopek and why is he writing my prescriptions?

-Who is the Chancellor's hairstylist?

-What kind of car will I get this year? Will I be able to lease? What color should I get?

-Is that cat litter I feel at the foot of my bed?

-What technique should I pursue to regain my Pro status on Wii bowling?

-Should I change my pj pants since they are fleece and sticking to me, or just deal with it?

-Who came up with the 7-Up dot?

-What do you get for your great-grandma who is going to turn 101 in 12 days?

-What will I do with my income tax money?

-When is the last time I drank alcohol?

-Does my cousin have a liquor license for her new restaurant?

-When is the best time for me to go to Texas?


...And many other things that are basically irrelevant, useless, unimportant and ridiculous...

While I am in list mode, let's go over some things that I am guilty of doing lately:

• Taking my trash from Christmas out slowly. There are still many boxes that have yet to make it to the road.
• Contemplated writing a letter to whomever invented that piece of white paper/cardboard/foam that lines the bottom of a package of chicken breasts. That thing stinks to high heaven if you let it sit in your garbage for even like 2 hours. WHY?!
• Thought about reconciling with my old friends, but who knows if that would be received well?
• Yelled "dammit" more times than I care to count at the Wii when I miss something.
• Emailed J today, because usually when I email her on a Thursday she'll write back with "could you watch the kids on Saturday so P & I could...". It didn't work today. Bummer, because I really need the money!
• Watched "Night at the Museum"
• Eaten a whole container of hummus in 5 days.
• Listened to a song from "High School Musical" by myself. Today.
• Got up in the middle of the night and ate a piece of bread with peanut butter. For the record, the peanut butter was low fat :)
• Let my dog eat the bits of chicken that I grilled that got grillier than I was seeking
• Watched the interview with Patrick Swayze on ABC
• Hummed an 'N'Sync song to myself. Then found this song on my iPod and listened to it. And sang loudly.
• Asked my coworkers if our water cooler water tastes like mold to them.
• Just called a prospective student and didn't understand a word that his voicemail said. Thought it was in a foreign language until I heard "I'm chillin' wit' your friend right now, so they might not..." and then I hung up.

That's all.

Peace.
