Why am I awake at this hour....

Our bodies are such mysteries. A few weeks ago, I couldn't get enough sleep. There was a Saturday awhile back when I slept through the night for about 10 hours. Then I took a nap during the day and still went to bed at a decent hour that night. Now I'm back to not sleeping for more than 5 hours and I'm wide awake. Of course a couple of hours later I'm ready to sleep again and feel like crap when I wake up after only an hour or so of sleep. I've made a point not to have caffeine after noon. I just want to go back to sleeping 7 or 8 hours and waking up when I'm supposed to. In the meantime, I'll use this time to catch up on the blog.....

Kyle went up to see the boys last weekend. They had a good time - saw a show, a hockey game, and a movie - Slumdog Millionaire. They said Slumdog Millionaire was really good and not as depressing as they had expected. Kyle and I went to see Marley and Me a couple of weekends ago and I cried a lot at the end. It's just too close to home for anyone that has loved and lost a pet.

Anyway, I had great intentions of getting some things done around the house while Kyle was away. As it often does, that changed. I did some shopping on Friday night and found a calendar of Steve Hanks pictures on clearance at one of our craft stores - Craft Warehouse. I love Steve Hanks' work so I bought 2 - thinking I would actually use 1 for a Calendar and frame the pictures from the other one. So, I spent Saturday looking for frames, etc. I finally decided on a plan - where to put them, how to frame them, etc. - went to Craft Warehouse, Michael's, JoAnn's, back to Craft Warehouse because I changed my mind about where to put them and needed different color frames, back to Michael's because I changed my mind about what I wanted to use for the background, back home then back to Michael's. I got 3 of the pictures framed then decided I should probably consult Kyle about where to put the pictures. We made a decision when he got home on Sunday and the decision also changed what I'm going to use for the backgrounds. I was going to work on them this week, but Kyle has been working in the evenings and has his computer in my space (the kitchen table). Maybe I'll work on them this weekend and/or next week.

I started a new beading project last night that I'm very excited about. Unfortunately, I can't post pictures of it yet because I am going to give them as gifts and want them to be a surprise. I'll post pictures eventually, but by then almost everyone that reads this will have seen them. LOL

Kyle is out of town next week - to Burns and Ontario, Oregon. He flies out Sunday and gets back on Thursday. That will just prepare me for him being gone the week after we go to San Diego/La Jolla when he will be in Phoenix. I hate it when he's gone for more than a couple of days, but it makes me appreciate the time when he's home.

We leave for La Jolla 2 weeks from today. We haven't decided if we're going to the zoo or SeaWorld. We'll figure it out when we get there. Every time we think we've decided we think of something else that makes us want to go to the other one. If we had more time we would do it all, but with really only 1 day, we have to make a decision.

It snowed again during the night so I'm really ready for some sunshine and warm weather now. We've had some really nice days the last couple of weeks and thought spring was near, but I guess that darn groundhog was right.

It's that time of night again when I'm ready to go back to bed. Happy sleeping.

Yay! It's almost Friday again! Happy Friday Eve!
