Jparks and I were standing in the checkout at Target and I felt like being annoying. (what? He's annoying all the time, I get to be annoying every once in awhile)
"Can I have some beef steak nuggets? pleasssssse?"
"no"
"Whyyyyy? I really want beef steak nuggets. You never let me get anything good. All the other kids get to have beef steak nuggets."
"I've got a beef steak nu, uh, crap."
"hahaha, you've only got a nugget! A teeny tiny nugget!"
"dammit"

no sleep till Brooklyn
Hey, it's Thursday and I haven't had a good night sleep in uh, crap, I don't know since when. Maybe last Saturday? I'm tried, cranky, and my eyes are so swollen that they hurt. Did I mention that I'm cranky? Jparks can tell you all about it as he's been catching the full force of said crankiness.
Normally, when I have trouble sleeping it's the falling asleep part that's the hurdle. But I'm currently falling asleep with no problem. Head meets pillow and I'm out. But this lasts maybe an hour and then I'm awake. I can make myself fall back asleep, but then an hour or two later, I'm awake again. Fun! This continues all night which means that I'm pretty squirmy, and that makes Lily squirmy, and that wakes jparks up. We are quite the happy bunch right now.
If I couldn't fall asleep I would just take a couple of Tylenol PM's and be done with it. But for not staying asleep, I'm at a loss. I can't really pinpoint any thing that's waking me up. Last night the fan was making a noise that was bothering me. But if it had been loud it would have woken jparks (he's a crazy light sleeper) and he slept through it. So maybe, in my desperation to blame the lack of sleep on something, I was imagining it louder than it really was. The couple of nights before that I seem to remember having nightmares that woke me up, but I don't really feel like I can blame them. After waking up because of them once, I don't remember the nightmares continuing, therefore not to blame.
I told jparks that I was going to check into a hotel for a night, far away from a dog that freaks out at night and a husband that sleeps at weird angles. Right now a big king size hotel bed sounds delightful. oh god, the sleep. I want the sleep. Please give me the sleep.

PSA
It's August and that means summer is ending here in the Bay Area, but I know in other parts of the country it's still hot and humid. And hot and humid weather usually forces people to find relief in any form possible: air conditioned houses, swimming pools, popsicles, etc. With this in mind, I want to offer a Public Service Announcement to everyone in warmer environments.
This:
will freeze itself to your tongue and when you go to remove it, well, ouch. The removal of this tasty treat of pain can cause a loss of tongue skin and can result in pain for a couple of days afterwards.
Not that I know anything about this. I mean I'm way to smart to get my tongue stuck to a popsicle. Nope, it would never happen to me.

42%
Folks, we are currently only 42% of the way to our goal to raise $500 for the saving of the boobies. 42%! We can do better!
If you don't want your name and the amount you donated scrolling on this site, that's totally fine. You can either tell it to add your name, tell it a fake name, or tell it you want to be anonmous. If you were afraid of looking like you have a heart and that would tarnish your bad ass image, just don't tell it your name. Tell it your name is Shithead. That would be awesome.
Come on people, clicky clicky

girl, interrupter
Have you ever been having a conversation with me and I just steamrolled you, mid sentence, no apologies, you need to listen to ME now? Dear god, I cringe. And I apologize. Crap, I'm an ass.
See, I never realized I did that until yesterday. No really, I had no clue. The way I found out was my boss had to tell me to shut up and let him finish. Okay, so he didn't say shut up, but he did have to tell me to let him finish. At first I was a bit shocked, "How dare he tell me to let him finish!" But then I realized "Holy crap I need to let him finish!" I sat there for the rest of the time he was speaking, nodding occasionally, waiting patiently for my turn. It was probably the first time I ever waited for my turn to speak.
I can honestly say I have no idea how long I've interrupted people like this. I think it happens when I'm trying to make a point that I understand what we are talking about. Or if I think I have more information on the subject and you need to know it rightthissecondnoitcannotwait. Or if I just want you to shut up.
I'm going to try to control this urge from now on, but I'm not sure how successful I'll be. Yesterday afternoon, the same afternoon that he had to tell me to let him finish, I ran all over my boss again. But, at least this time I recognized I was doing it. And I kinda cut myself short. And then I tried to sit there nodding until he was done. Nod nod nod It just seems so pointless. And condescending. Nodding adds nothing! But I will do it. I must do it!
I'll probably only succeed at this if I buy myself a muzzle. Or a ball gag. That would totally keep me quiet.
