I suck at going to bed...
Really, I do. I need to be up at 8, and here I am, wide awake. Not insomnia, b/c I know if I actually went to bed, I'd pass out immediately, just chilling out and being awake. It's the point A to point B thing that I can't seem to get down.

Grrrr....

32. I was listening to my jazz station
on pandora and getting sleepy. Then I switched to a station that played Killing in the Name of. "F-- You I won't do what you tell me!" are not lyrics conducive to sleepy time.

I'm also realizing that your post wasn't that suggestive. I just really need to get laid soon.

17. Same thing with losing weight.
I never say, I need to go on a diet, anymore because the second I do, I want to eat everything in the house!

13. That is part of my problem...
I slept awesome when J. was here last week. :D

I figure if I get there by 2:30, and re-set the alarm for 8:30, I'll be ok. I don't need a lot of time to get ready to put on jeans and a t and flip flops, pack my laptop and a notebook and drag my ass to the subway, which is 250 feet from my door. (Told ya the new place is better :D)

:hi:

19. Indeedy!
And I mean literally 250 feet from a Red Line station. If I could learn to spit a little farther, I'd hit it! :D

And, it makes for kickass people watching from the porch that faces it. :D

14. Totally with you.
I'm dealing with dogs, but I'm the same way. Something about the transition from "productivity" to "sleep" gets me every time.

Part of why I plan on working nights again starting in another week. (Plus more money even though I get to drop 4 hours and I'll have four days OFF!) :D

30. I do that all the time!
I even make it worse by taking a shower at night thinking it will take me less time to get ready in the morning, but really taking up more time before bed. :crazy:

But the big question is....How was that dinner you were going to make? The Italian Pot Roast looked amazing! :9

33. I'm going to have to.
We love Italian cuisine around here, and they are always running roast specials at Kroger here, so I'm on it!

Glad it turned out. :D
