Reunion

So... last night i had the most fun experience of "reuniting" with a friend from high school. Here's the thing- we haven't seen each other since then... eleven years ago.

Thank goodness for Facebook (if i had a penny for every time i said that... haha... just kidding.. kind of.) because that is how i learned of Michael's arrival to the Music City!

Here's what i absolutely love about catching up with old friends (which my sister pointed out that i have a propensity for): realizing the ways that I have changed and developed as a person and appreciating ways they have also. It was so nice to get together with Michael and get to talk about the real stuff of life and just enjoy each others company. it was just delightful!

So, here's to old friends, Bosco's (the friendly neighborhood microbrewery), and the world feeling small again.

sleepless in nashville

lately, i am having trouble winding down at night in enough time to get good sleep. Here's the problem... Once I make it past 9:30p or so (what? i get sleepy early!), i am up til 1am minimum. Its not intentional. Its just that once i get the second wind- i am UP and at 'em.

This would be so easily solved if i were willing to just go to bed at 9:30p. Unfortunately, i am not. I almost always have something to do; an issue to consider, laundry to do, people to spend time with, an award winning program on the tele to watch- things of this nature.

I am realizing, as i write this, that this is more of a rhetorical post. I'm not all that interested in "calming down" rememdies. i am more interested in telling you what a nut i am. I mean, seriously, i walk around tired during the day out of sleep deprivation but cannot get around to going to bed at a decent hour.

hmmmm.

being a night owl can be kind of lonely. but- at least i scoured the new "Real Simple" and am now something of a whiz at "streamlining my skin-care routine". standard girl stuff.

incidentally, the good ole fever blister is 90% gone (hallelujah) but i just have other nagging ailments like swollen glands and such. i wonder what in the world my body is warding off.

As i attempt to doze off, I will leave you with an "instant" organizing tip from R.S.:

purchase a shoe organizer for electronics/chargers. hang it over the door and label the compartments.

genius.

wait.... i just yawned. yay!
