I Have A Dream

I have a dream that it is Fall, and then I wake to realize it is never really Fall in Texas. I was going to wait until October to decorate my house for one of my favorite times of year, but I just couldn't help it. Call it nesting, call it obsession, call it whatever you like. It is 91 degrees outside, I'm wearing shorts and a tanktop and am sweating, there are only a few wisps of clouds in the sky... but darn it if my dining room and front entry don't look like Thanksgiving is next Thursday!

To Sleep or Not To Sleep?

Someone help me! For the past several days I have suffered from I can only term "Pregnancy Insomnia." Basically my bladder wakes me up in the middle of the night (no surprise there), but I can't get back to sleep! My mind races and wanders, and I lie awake tossing and turning for the better part of 2 hours. Last night I woke up initially at 2am, and it was 3:45am when I last looked at the clock before finally drifting off again. Have any of you had this?? What can I do? I'm exhausted and it's all I can do to not fall asleep on my patients at work at this point...

Posh or Poo?

My sister Rachel was in town over Labor Day weekend and we went to the outlet mall nearby with Greg and Jared. Our preppy husbands were like giddy schoolboys walking through all the shops and even bought the matching pairs of shoes... In any case, they just about doubled what Rachel and I spent, thus justifying the above purchase from the Fossil Outlet store. I've needed a new handbag: something bigger but not gynormous, something that can hold a diaper but doesn't look like a diaper bag, yada yada, you know how it goes.

Anyway, I picked this one out. I received two comments about the purchase that day: Rachel said that "green is the new black" and she loves it. Greg said that he really likes the style, but the color reminds him a little of Noah's diarrhea when he was a baby.

Who to believe?

InterNOT

I was all ready to post a new entry last night after loading and editing some pictures on my computer and everything. Suddenly and for no reason at all, the internet shut down. It wouldn't open again. I went to the control panel and repaired the connection, I turned off the computer and restarted it, I spoke nicely to it and then finally resorted to yelling. Nothing. This is not the first time this has happened, no, it's been going on consistently for the past 2 weeks! And this isn't dial-up we're talking about either; we pay a stinkin' lot of dinero every month for instantaneous, do-what-I-say, high-speed internet. Furthermore, it's with AT&T! We're not talking Joe's Hubcaps and Internet here, people.

I hate all electronics that don't listen to the commands I give. Aside from slow drivers on the road, nothing can get me stringing words together that I haven't used since the ole farm days in Iowa like crappy internet or cable service. Thus endeth my ranting. Hopefully by the time I get home tonight I'll be able to turn on my lovely computer, post a worth-while blog entry complete with a picture or two, and be done with the yelling for one day.

I'll let you know. :)
