The bags hanging out under my blue eyes are out of control today. After 3 nights of “going out” in a row, I am worn out. I didn’t necessarily drink too much, just stayed out too late. My body hates me when I get less than the recommended 13 hours of sleep a night!
Last night I was all about going to sleep early. Then I went to bed. And what do ya know… sleep eluded me. So I started reading a book. Some people say reading makes them sleepy, not me! I am horrible about staying up til the wee hours of the morning just because I am loving a book. Books completely distract me from the real world, and sometimes I don’t want to go back to it. The real world has heart ache and tears and loneliness. That sucks folks.
Once I did finally fall asleep, I dreamed about work. I know that when I dream about work multiple days in a row I need to take a vacation day, or turn in my notice. Neither one ever happens. I was so groggy this morning I started searching my office for a check a patient had mailed us. Only to realize, WAIT… I think I dreamed that… damn it. (I wish it had been real, she owes us some moolah!)
It’s friday. YAY! Except that every second of the next 2 days is already planned out. Ugh.
Tomorrow morning I will be marking #85 go to the zoo of my 101 list. I get to spend the morning with my best friend and her beautiful little one. I can’t wait to have my camera in my hand and see what I can capture at the zoo. I also love spending time with Steph and gossiping about the past 20 years of our life.
Then there is an engagement party, a baby christening, a maternity photo session and a movie (Inception, yay!). All by Sunday night. I may need to take Monday off to relax!
I need some help spending my money. The money that I should just leave alone in my account.
I am contemplating upgrading my stupid phone to a smart one, but can’t decide if I should part with the money, or just hold out. Basically I have a couple of different things that I could spend the money on and can’t decide if I want a new phone, a new lens, or maybe hang onto it for something like a tattoo, or a skydiving adventure.
The phone would change the way I communicate. Like I need to talk MORE… I would actually be able to see an entire comment on a facebook post instead of just part of it. I wouldn’t be able to text and drive anymore, which would make the world a safer place. I could look up random facts when my smart friends aren’t around. I could also blog from it. Which would be awesome!
The lens I want can probably wait. I am not spending much quality time with my camera and don’t have a fantastic set up for editing and burning. (speaking of, I owe a friend a disk tomorrow and can’t burn the dang thing… Lee.. help!) But I still want something with a lower (shorter, smaller… I don’t know how to say it) f-stop. (I wish I knew what the hell I was talking about!!!)
A new tattoo has been on my brain for a couple of years. I have 2 so far and they both mean a lot to me. I love them. I spent a lot of time thinking those through before I got them and do not regret them. The fact that I still like my “new tattoo” idea all this time later makes me wanna do it. I just need to ask around and see who I should use. My only issue is that I want it on my shoulder/upper arm, and that makes the idea of clothing for work/important functions an issue. I don’t deal with people all the time at work, so I wouldn’t offend anyone with it, but I still worry. The two I have now are on my shoulders. And sometimes they can be seen, but if I want to cover them I can. Most of me doesn’t really care, but a small part of me wonders if I will regret it.
Have I ever mentioned I am indecisive?
And yes, I am still contemplating skydiving. I am crazy. But I need some crazy in my life right now.
I wish I was funny, witty and on top of my game. Instead I am just here. Making it day by day, trying to decide what the next step is in this adventure called “life”. If I could just sleep, the world would be in trouble. Well rested Melissa can get a lot accomplished!

I think the best thing is for you to buy my iPhone and then I can get a new one!!! Great idea right!!!! Mad is super excitied to see Aunt Ms. Lissa
Typing on an iPhone is slow going. It’s fine for tweets, status updates and blog comments, but blogging would be tough. You could do it, but it would take a while. Enjoy the zoo!
thanks Todd! The zoo was hot, but fun!
Don’t be seduced by the iPhone. Seriously. I have a Verizon Droid and love it. But remember not only is the phone expensive so is the monthly plan. And you can’t blog from it…. I mean you COULD but it would take forever.
i have blogged once before from an iphone. but it was a short blog!
I don’t feel like changing carriers b/c tori’s phone is on my plan and only like 1/2 a year into the contract…
I am going to probably do nothing and hang on to the money. but I do want one!
