Three weeks ago I wrote about a Mediflow Waterbase Pillow and today I went to J.C. Penney's and bought one. I saw on Laura's site that the company was offering a $5 rebate and it turns out the Penney's also had them on sale this week. I took it as a sign that I was meant to get one. Of course, the Penney's by my house doesn't stock them. I had to go to Park Meadows Mall. Gah, I hate that place.

Even though I've been exhausted, I just can't sleep. Part of it, I know, is my pillow. I figure that if this little investment makes me actually sleep, it will be so worth it. I have been in the worst mood this week, all due to lack of sleep due to the Blogathon and my insomnia.

I've only put my head on it for a short bit, but so far it feels good. We'll know for sure tomorrow morning.

Man, I am definitely not as young as I used to be. Here it is late Tuesday night and I still haven't recovered from this weekend. I'm dead on my feet, but still can't sleep. I've been in a really pissy mood, too. Yesterday I was ready to quit my job and bite the head off the next person that said anything to me. I was definitely having a case of the Mondays. When my supervisor asked what was wrong and I told him I was tired and why (the blogathon), he said, "Well, that was stupid." Maybe, but it was for charity, dang it. Grrrr. Sometimes I don't think those people Marcus and I work with get us. More on that in a future post.

I hate grocery stores. With. A. Passion! Why do they always seem to be out of the one item I went to that particular store for? Today I went to Target to get a rotisserie chicken that Marcus really likes for dinner (since I'm trying to eat healthier). Noooo, they're out of chickens. So, I don't get the rest of the stuff I need since there are only 3 check stands open and I didn't want to wait in line for two items. I head to King Soopers and you'll never guess: they also have no warm rotisserie chickens. WTF? I pick up one from the refrigerated case and head over to get his Caesar salad mix and I was going to get some spinach. No fresh spinach. At all. Now I'm pissed.

Stupid grocery stores.

Since I've never been outside the borders of the United States, it was easy this week to come up with places I'd like to visit someday.

Ten Countries I'd Love to Visit

Canada Germany United Kingdom New Zealand Australia

Egypt Fiji Italy France Ireland

We have a big tree outside our house that gets infested with beetles every year. I think they're Elm Beetles. Anyway, they've been particularly bad this year. The poor tree has hardly any green left in the leaves at all. What really sucks is when they get into the house. There is dead beetles that I need to vacuum up all over the place. There's one that keeps landing on my monitor as I type. When I went to look out the back door earlier, the screen was just covered in them.

Just a quick note to let you know that if you had intended to but just never got a round to it, you can still SPONSOR ME for the this past weekend's Blogathon for another 24 hours.

Thanks again to everyone who supported me in this year's effort!
