'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark, I see your face in every star

Yesterday I was having a horrible time of it.
I couldn't sleep,
finally got to sleep at 12pm & had to get up two hours later.
Used to I could run on two hours for days but when I woke up I felt overwhelmingly sick.
Insomnia was a major pain in the rump yesterday, needless to say.
I didn't get around to feeling well at all, all day.
Kevin was a little difficult.
Nothing I couldn't handle (he is a sweetheart no matter what)
But he just didn't seem to want to listen or obey but by the end of the day when I got off we were cuddled up watching hours of Scooby Doo.
I feel fortunate that Kevin loves Scooby Doo as much as I do.
Anyways,
by the time I got home I still was a little grumpy & I took sleeping pills & forced myself to go to sleep & decided to blog when I had a full night of sleep under my belt, so here I am!

goodness, I love this song, the lyrics, the video.
Especially the ending.
Love it!

Okay awesome news!
I was featured on Camilla's blog!
I sent her an 'When I Grow Up' list forever ago but it never got posted.
But she emailed me & asked me if I still wanted to play not to long ago & I was jumping for joy!
Check it out here!
& don't forgot to congratulate her, she is newly engaged!

Sweet Blog Award? Sweet!

I have not been able to write near as much as I want to.

Being on vacation and all I have been trying to spend some time with my family as well as my laptop got some kind of virus and I cannot get on the Internet on it.

So angry about that!

Oh well.. Life goes on they say!

Also I've been catching up on a lot of reading.

Finally finished "True Believer" by Nicholas Sparks... it was.. good I guess.

Nothing tops "Dear John" for me. hehe.

Now I am reading "Message in a Bottle". I have never seen the movie so don't ruin it for me!

It is also by Nicholas Sparks.

For those of you who don't know my goal this year is to read every book he has ever written.

Which sometimes is hard when you start a book you really aren't that into but you have to finish. Anyways,

This post was meant to be about the wonderful Sweet Blog Award I got from Candid Phobic

Eek!

Totally made my day!

I'd like to pass this on to Big City Dreams, A Tree Called Life, and Bumpkin On a Swing

Beautiful Blog Award

So today was lovely... Very.

But everyday is lovely when you get an award for something you do for fun.

Today I got the "Beautiful Blog Award" that was giving to me but I Ella at one of my blog vices Reve De La Mode

I am suppose to write seven random things and then tag seven others to do the same.

I actually enjoy working out

{and sometimes I talk about water as if its ice cream... I'm strange}

One of the main reasons I wanted a dog was because I hate sleeping alone,

Thankful I got a dog who is the perfect cuddle buddy.

If I drink water that's room temperature I always seem to spill it on myself,

I don't understand it.

I dated someone who went to jail. Granted it was for a unpayed ticket and only twenty four hours.

I pick on people for playing games like "farmville" and such.

I think people who can spend hours on those games are crazy...

but I have a confession.

I'm addicted to sorority life on Facebook

It started out simply as something to do when I was waiting for someone to write me back and now I'm on level 112 and I sound like one of those guys addicted to World of Warcraft or such and scream at the computer when someone steals something from me or something on the game...

I also don't post things about it on my facebook page so no one knows..

How embarrassing.

But I still refuse to waste hours on it,

mainly because I've gotten really good of updating it in 5 minutes :)

I sleep with one blanket,

every night.

ALWAYS.

I just slip it under my own comforter,

hotel comforter,

or friends comforter.

Even if I'm half asleep and move to another room or bed,

I never forget my blankie.

Its not just because I'm some kind of freak.

Someone very dear gave it to me,

I like to keep it close to remind me that they are okay and to remind me to pray for them every night.

The best feeling is logging into blogger and seeing comments or new followers.

Are you guys here for me?

How sweet! :)

Now I get to tag other blogs.

So here I go.
