Hi friends! How is everyone? Its me the sleepless night owl Its almost 1 am and I'm still wide awake. I'm starting to wonder if this sleepless thing is partly hormonal. Does anyone else have this problem around TOM? I used to not be able to sleep when I very first started TOMs way back in grade 6! When I went on the pill at 19 the sleepless nights disappeared. Now for the past six months (maybe more?) they are back. I seem to think that its around TOM for me but I could be wrong. Seems they happen too often for that??? I don't know. Hey Dr. Lori can TOM affect levels of melatonin so that there isn't enough or something so I don't feel sleepy? or maybe I have too much serotonin? I don't know. Never the less here I am again wide awake so I thought I'd come to my favorite place on the net and see what's up
I did fabulous today with being OP I managed to bank a ton o points. I know you aren't supposed to bank too many and use too many extra at a time but I know I'm going to over indulge at our Christmas party Saturday. I'm so excited for our party I have some silly games planned that I get giddy about when I'm doing the stuff to get ready for them. Plus one of my best friends is coming for a visit this weekend. She lives 5 1/2 hours away so we don't hook up very often. I can't wait! Only two more days until she arrives She's getting married this summer too so we're having lots of fun with our planning together (well via email and phone).
Spealing of wedding plans anybody have any good ideas for a song for us to dance to for our first dance?? We don't have "our own song". We've talked about it a lot but can't really come up with one that we absolutely love. I think I'll post a poll for what we've sort of decided are our finalists. For the song that the wedding party has to dance to we're using "Hooked On A Feeling" -you know that dancning baby song! Its too funny! We want everyone to loosen up and have lots of crazy fun=plus if you listen to the words they are appropriate (well not the ooga chaka ooga part!) As you can tell we're not having a formal celebration. For us the more casual the more fun! The reception is a whole ocean theme thing since we can't afford to get married on a beach we're creating our own beach-like atmosphere. Its going to be great! When I go home for the week over Christmas my Mom and I are going to start making my wedding dress!! Well first we have to make a mock one to make sure it all fits great before we cut into the good material. Its so exciting! I just hope we don't bite each others heads off in the process. My Mom is SUPER picky when it comes to things she sews and when it comes to my body nothing ever fits the way the pattern works so she can get a little testy which makes me testy. Plus she never makes decisions for altering the patterns and makes me decide the way things should go but she's the sewing expert -she usually doesn't listen to me anyway which really why should she when she's sewn way more than I ever have or desire to? Anyway sorry for babbling on. Just my late night thoughts!
Tomorrow my grandparents are going to be in the city. I won't get to spend much time with them though b/c I work. My grandma is going to come for a treatment though so that should be good! Except she always insists on paying me and I always try to get her to forget it. Not fun. She usually wins. Oh well.....
Hey Trish speaking of baby names I found out today that one of my old classmates had her baby last week and apparently didn't think the naming thing through very well. Her and her SO aren't married so they hyphenated the baby's last name including her name with it. Her last name is Thackery and they named the baby Zachary! I don't know what her SO's last name is but I hope they put it in between b/c this way it is Zachary Thackery-something! Nice and rhyming! If I was them I would definitely be calling him Zac!
In the morning I have to do a bunch of baking before work. I'm going to try this recipe I found for Carmelized Apple-Cranberry Turnovers! Its only 2 points a turnover so if they are any good I'll post the recipe for you all. I have a bunch of really yummy low point christmas baking recipes that I keep meaning to put up too. One of these days....
Anyway so sorry for babbling on! I hope everyone is doing great and not too busy with life to enjoy things Take care everyone! Talk to you later when you are all awake!
