My Head is all Fuzzy

Today so far I have slept, eaten cereal, slept, and watched Project Runway. I have come to the conclusion that Wendy should have gotten booted out much sooner in season 1. I'm betting the only reason she made it so far is because the producers wouldn't let them oust her since she provided the drama. Way too much drama. Although her final collection is not looking as bad as I thought it would. Except, whoa, what's up with the completely sheer top with no bra? Some day her daughter sitting in the front row with her little stuffed kitty can wear that one.

Also KP is home. That is the bright spot in my day of trying not to cough up a lung.

Yesterday I received the advice that I should come home and go to bed early instead of playing with my shiney new computer toy. So I didn't play wiht my computer last night. I mostly just sat in my comfey chair and thought about the things that I had wanted to get done last night that I didn't have the energy to do. Then I came upstairs and coughed a lot. And then I tossed, and I turned, and didn't fall asleep until 4 in the morning. Not really getting a lot of sleep in last night. I don't know what my deal was. Sleeping is generally something I do not struggle to make happen. But last night I was WIDE awake, no matter what I tried. Don't worry, I made up for it today.

Now I'm wide awake and waiting for K to bring me my dinner. Because she's cool like that and stopping at Applebee's to get me some curbside to go.

I've been trying to to think of something deep and profound to type but I had a hard time telling K a non-story over dinner so I don't think it's going to happen. I'm very fuzzy tonight.

So Sleepy

Why, oh why must I go to a meeting after being at a meeting all day? I had to leave my apartment at 7:15 this morning and I just now got home.... and must leave in ten minutes to set up for a 6:30 meeting. Ooky. I NEED a nap.

2 am and I Are Best Friends

The best time to decide to start a blog and make your first post has got to be 2 am. I just spent half an hour staring at my computer screen blankly thinking about what the title would be. Which is silly because I need to go to bed and I will undoubtedly change it before I tell anyone I have a blog. But I have this pretty new computer and 2 am has become my new best friend as a result. Who wants to go to bed when you can be picking fonts AND ripping CD's for your mp3 player all at one time. Oh, and my laundry's done. I'm a multi-tasker. Bet you didn't know that about me. A laptop can do that for you.

The other great thing about 2am is that it helps me to hold true to the "ramblings" part of my title that may or may not be the same tomorrow. I ramble good. Just like I write good. So a blog is the perfect outlet for my talents.
