Insomnia FtL

[devilgrrl]

I hate when I'm so tired, but I still can't sleep. I went to bed at 11 because I was exhausted. I thought I'd just not take my Ambein and be all clever about it, since it didn't matter if it took me two hours to fall asleep on a Friday.

All I did was roll around till I got up at 3:30 and took an Ambien, which bought me about 5 hours of actual sleep. It's probably rebound insomnia, but this happens any time I'm not taking something to knock me out. It doesn't matter how tired I am; my body will not turn off.

This week has been insane. The kids are wound, which is par for the course, considering. My hand is still not great, so that makes life interesting. I did three crafts with glitter yesterday, though, which was pretty great. I love me some glitter.

I need to do some lesson plans this week-end, speaking of glitter. I'm trying to get the rest of December planned out and possibly leave something for the couple days I'll be out after Christmas. Also, I need to find some Hanukkah crafts. I'm thinking of making a toilet paper roll menorah with felt flames for each classroom.

We stopped by the mall after work, ostentatiously so I could purchase some pants. We had dinner at Dave & Busters, which was decent. I dropped in Lush to ask about face lotion and was set up with a sample of Skin Nanny and Celestial. I tried the latter today and I like it, though I completely overdid it on a couple places. Next week, I'm going to buy Mum's Humango. Bleh, Christmas shopping...

I got waylaid by JC Penney's and ended up with a pair of lower heeled, knee high, motorcycle styled boots since, much as I love my other pair of boots, I just cannot to heavy duty walking in them, like I did Thursday. Of course, I forgot my coupon and that I have a store credit. I might head back there tonight.

I picked up a pair of skinny jeans at Old Navy. I've only been trying to find them for months. They're kind of weird, though. I got regulars, which are usually miles too long for me, but these are fine. I'm not questioning it. I'm breaking them in today. I also got a Thanksgiving shirt that says Gobble Gobble. I win like that.

We're going back tonight because I have to have my Mac looked at. The screen has gone out a couple times and the latch is broken. I've barely had it four months and I treat it like my firstborn. There is no reason it should be having any issues.

It's frigid, Steven and my mother are installing a new sink, and I am banished to the living room because neither have two useful hands nor helpful suggestions.

I need to order Teh Turkey today and start a mental menu so I can grocery shop this week. I can't believe we're so close to Thanksgiving, honestly. It will be a year to the Thursday Gramma died and, in all honestly, I didn't really want to do anything this year, but it's sink or swim, you know? We're having people over, at least, so I won't have time to dwell on it. Frakking holidays.

I wish my hand didn't ache so much. I was too crafty yesterday, obviously.

Glitter is wonderful. Best invention? Glitter Glue!

Feel you on the sleep.

I'm liking my Lush stuff so far. My skin is dry, but I don't really think it's from the soap. I'm always horridly dry this time of year. Trying to get my husband to use up the sample of fresh farmacy so I can see if it'll help his acne at all.

Thanksgiving time, scary.

Glitter makes everything better.

You are brave with those skinny jeans. I had a friend who told me they look good on everyone. I am afraid to even try them on.

Omg, I love glitter glue. If I hadn't been glittering pipe cleaners, I so would have used it. As is, I almost used spray adhesive to start with.

Insomnia can suck it.

Yea, Fresh Farmacy seems to be a little much this time of year for me, hence using the moisturizer. I think I may get a Sweet Japanese Girl next time I'm in; I used it last winter happily. The manager at the Providence store also suggested Ultrabland on your face then scrubbing with Ocean Salts. You also can mash up FF into a paste for zit spot treatment.

Yea, I can't believe the year is almost gone. I hope 2009 is better.

Glitter seriously does. Enough of it could probably cause world peace.

Honestly, I was totally against skinny jeans, but after seeing enough ladies rock them on fatshionista, I figured I'd try them. I'm sure people are cringing looking at me, but, much like how I feel about my bikinis, I'm too old to give a shit about what other people think.

ON's aren't legging tight, either. They're closer to being straight legged, which I think helps.

I hope 2009 is better as well. I've not had a good time of it.

I wish I had energy this week. We had three lush stores (located inside Macy's) have their "grand openings" this week. If you went to each one and got a little stamp you were suppose to get a gift bag at the last store with stuff in it (didn't say what).

BUT, one of the stores was in Downtown Minneapolis. The party was 5-7. There was no way in heck. Not only would it be hard to get to with the traffic, but I would have had to pay three dollars (at least) to park just to run in and get the stamp.

The other two were in suburbs. One was just five minutes from me. The other is about ten minutes, but is thirty minutes with 5 o'clock traffic.

I was just too pooped this week.

The hubby has acne issues, and is always worried about it but nothing helps. It's literally all over his face or I'd have him try the spot treatment. Me? I just get them when I'm on my period, if I get any at all. I tend not to.

I haven't had any money to buy anything else, but my parents are visiting this coming weekend. I figure I'll let my mom use some of my bubble bar and maybe she'll like it and want to go there. Tehee.
