For some reason, I was wired last night. I think you can tell by the late hour of my previous posts. I was hyper and my mind was racing. I ended up not going to sleep until well after midnight. I don't know what caused it as I didn't consume any caffeine or anything late in the evening. I had some tea with dinner before 6pm. I consumed a peanut buster parfait right after dinner and if I'm going to get a sugar rush, it happens within an hour. Then I took an hour long soak in the tub to relax before bed. I should've been out like a light since I only got six hours of sleep the previous night and was pretty sleepy after the bath, but no such luck. It was strange. Then, after I was finally tired enough to sleep, I started having some sort of allergy attack or something. I got stuffy, was wheezing and then the coughing set in. It was so weird. So, I'm on 5 or less hours of sleep. I hope this doesn't cause me to make any critical mistakes at work today. I'm seeing an after work nap in my future.

Bah, I'm still up and I should've been in bed awhile ago. I don't want to go to work tomorrow...not because I don't like my job, but I have so much I need to do around here and two days in a weekend is just not long enough to get everything accomplished. *sigh*

I'm finally getting a little inspiration for a blog design I want to work out, too, but having to go to work everyday puts a little crimp in my design time. I also am a little brain fried by the time I'm off shift and have been at a computer all day. Doesn't really put one in a creative design frame of mind. Why, oh why can't I be independently wealthy so I can pursue my hobbies?

Getting out of this park has been topmost in my mind lately, too. I'm really wanting to have a garden and get dogs, again. It's just not right to be a dog person and have no canines in your life, y'know?

This is more of a note to self, but I watched two movies yesterday and I must remember to tell you my thoughts on them tomorrow.

OK, making myself go get ready for bed.

Sorry about the glare in that picture I posted this morning. While at Atlanta Bread Co., I had my first ever bowl of French Onion Soup and I really liked it. I want to make it from scratch, so does anybody reading this have a good recipe for it? I'm dying to make my own.

Here we are having breakfast at Atlanta Bread Co. this morning.

I stopped in at Meiningers over at 5th and Broadway today to see if the carry a certain kind of pen that someone suggested I get. They don't, but I did see something I'd love to have: a Vincent Van Gogh action figure. It's the first produced by Fine Arts Action Figures™ and it was selling there for $24.99 + tax. I can get it on the site for $19.99 +$5 shipping. That would save me a bit. It's more of a realistic rendition. While surfing ebay to see if any one on there had one, I found another, more comical one. This Van Gogh figurine has two interchangeable heads (one has a bandage around his head depicting the ear whacking incident). What is wrong with me that I giggled at that one?
