And the Sleep Deprivation Begins.....

I had a GREAT weekend, I really did. I know this because of how fast it flew by. I also know this by how unhappy I was to have to go to sleep last night and how I just wanted to finish the last half hour or so of Amazing Race. But I tried to be a nice wife, and let my husband get some sleep (considering he has to be up at 5 am)! But apparently my body just wouldn't give in. I tossed & turned all night long (well not all night, I think I finally fell asleep in pure exhaustion at about 3 or 4 am and slept until 7:20!). Needless to say, I was having hot flashes in the middle of the night again, felt cramped by my cat & husband, and generally could not sleep. I am EXHAUSTED today and felt that icky-horrible feeling you have in the morning when you haven't slept and your heart seems to be pounding in your body and you're hungry and tired and light-headed and everything rolled into one.

Anyways, here's a weekend update:
Friday night we went to dinner at Chili's and then went to see "Be Cool" - I really enjoyed it a lot! Saturday, I cleaned up the apartment while Austin was mowing the shop yard, went to the grocery store, and watched I Heart Huckabees. It was a really strange movie, I wouldn't recommend watching it unless you really like those types of movies, and I know that I won't watch it again although I didn't HATE it. There are some really cool visual effects, but other than that, I wasn't too impressed. Saturday night, Jes & Roger came over for fondue which was a lot of fun and VERY yummy. I was surprised how quick, easy and painless it was to cook such a yummy meal. We were going to play games and such, but since we are OLD PEOPLE, we decided to look at pictures from our honeymoons and talk and then call it a night around 10 :)

Sunday, we ran a bunch of errands (I'm making invitations for a retirement party my parents are throwing in April so I had to pick up supplies), took my watch to the Galleria because it was acting up and now I will be watchless for 2-3 weeks while it is repaired (so going to go to Target this week and pick up a cheap watch to get me by!), and met Sara & her mom at La Madeleine for lunch and chatting. Then we finished up our errands, went to dinner at BW3, and watched Manchurian Candidate when we got home. We had gotten this movie in December on Netflix, didn't get a chance to watch it over the holidays, and had been putting it off ever since but it was actually really good. Then I proceeded to try to catch up on the 2 hour Amazing Race episode from last week even though I didn't bother to start it until 9:30 and finally gave up around 10:45 to let Austin get some sleep and for me to try....didn't really work but oh well.

Today has been busy so far because Sara is out until 1 pm and our other officemate is out too and for some reason our boss needs to know information on all her cases TODAY. In between training the person that is taking over my cases, going through old e-mails, organizing, and trying to stay awake! Whatever! This is my LAST MONDAY here - hurray! Hope you all had a great weekend too! :)

Mel - Happy Last Monday!!

Yes, it began again last week so you've only missed one episode! I don't know yet who got kicked off but if you want to know, I can tell you tonight! :) Stupid Amber & Rob from Survivor are on it - they already have $1 million, and they are annoying. I hope they get the boot! I love Amazing Race though because I love seeing all the places they go to and the culture and the activities they do! Fun stuff! :)

dude. did you have a hard time sleeping again last night? Because I didn't fall asleep until 1am.

Of course, that could have been because Roger had the window open and it was 45 degrees in our room.
