Sleepless in a Chartruese Robe

I can't sleep. The bed was pre-warmed with the wonderful mattress warmer gifted by my parents as a hand-me-down. Q finally made it home and we got to have our ever religious "beer and pizza" night. Although, I enjoyed my pizza with a small serving of Chardonnay. I'm trying to cultivate a taste for wine. It may be slowly evolving, I can't really tell. I'm really a beer chic. 3 beers is good by me, after that it's just about getting drunk. Still young enough to make poor decisions, old enough to avoid making the life threatening or illegal ones at least.

So why can't I sleep? Discontent in the subliminal, you betcha. Not really the reason for my post though, at least not the intention. I just needed to redirect my thinking. While sitting in chartreuse fuzzy bathrobe, yes much like the one you are most likely imagining, hair tossled, glasses and slippers... you know the tan faux suede with fake fluff inside. They may sound/be cheap but they are by far the warmest and comfiest slippers I have had since I don't know when. You can keep yours, I'm sure your feet are cold too.

Speaking of slippers makes me wish for tea, and that wish is easily granted especially as chamomile tea is a wonderful thing for hapless people such as me (and you if you are reading this in the nocturnal hours). Going to put the kettle on...hang on one second. but only use your index and thumb ...


Alright, back again. You can let go now. Where were we? Oh yeah, sleepless in a bathrobe...ever wonder why it is when you go to bed at just the right time - it isn't like those other nights where you are going to bed an hour or two past the time you promised yourself so you could get that good nights rest because you have an early morning? That's usually what happens to me, I get distracted or to a place that I can't actually go to bed and then I miss that opportune bedtime but I can't make it up because my alarm is set to the mandatory latest time possible to roll over and face the cold, dark world of "too early to be human aka 4:30 am".

Here I sit, tea and bathrobe and slippers... and pinterest. Because when in doubt, Pinterest has the answer or is the answer. Care to see what I'm up to? Pop on over, you can find me at http://www.pinterest.com/alicia08/boards/
