Anybody need any of my energy? I've got plenty to spare!

2. What's good about it? *grump* *grump*
Power went off at 3. Woke up at 5 to it coming on and our house alarm going off when it was restored. Got up to turn that off. Couldn't sleep. Dog upstairs started whining. Took her out to pee. Dog downstairs started whining. Let her out the back door to go too. Both dogs started barking. I started cursing. Let them back in, told them to hush up and go back to bed, and now I'm sitting here over my computer with my eyes burning from lack of sleep. Oh, and Whoopi got fired for SlimFast simply for speaking the truth about *. (Any of our bushes could be a better President than the bush that's in the White House. Why is such common knowledge offensive?)

I believe my morning was produced by a vast right wing conspiracy. Or some idiot hitting a power line or something. Who knows?

Grump. Grump.

31. Good morning.
I'm semicomatose right now. I've tried sleeping, but I just cannot do it. I think I had too much sugar yesterday. It's making me jittery and anxious.

34. Thank you for the kind welcome.
I haven't slept very well for the last couple of weeks. I've been getting about four hours of sleep on average, and that's from 8 am until noon or so.

Nothing major.

I have to find an anniversary gift for my boyfriend. Suggestions? :)

Also, haircut, manicure, and a quick stop to buy some shoes at Gucci. 70%-off sale! Cha-ching! lol :)

Edit: I need to sleep more.

4 years on August 1.

We first met at my 20th (over-the-hill) birthday party on April 7, 2000 but it became "official" on August 1. :)

I was thinking of flying us down to South Padre Island in TX for a nice weekend of partying and drinking. Also, maybe tickets to the Gloria Estefan concert and maybe reservations that evening at his favorite Italian place :) The concert is 8 days after, but I plan on cooking the night of so it would probably work out best.

No pedicure for me today. My feet aren't in presentable condition because of some flipflops that gave me blisters. Yeah, they had a date with the trash can shortly afterward...lol

And sorry about the flipflops. I don't think I could ever give mine up!

48. Got up on time
Headed out to get the train to go to work. The damned train runs late and out of sync! Thus, the train is full and I get to stand the whole way. Well, I could use the exercise.

Gotta meeting at 9am, but it shouldn't be too bad. It's a quarterly product meeting, and it won't run too long, since I run the meeting. :D
