Well, here I am, a product of a mismanaged sleep schedule, awake at 2 am, Nashville time. Dan and I are here visiting his family for Thanksgiving again – we both got in on Saturday after surprisingly not late or horrendous flights, and I can not sleep. I haven’t been falling asleep much before 3 am at all, which is not exciting, as then I don’t wake up until around 11 am. So, I get up and have breakfast while everyone else has lunch.

Today, we got out of the house and went to a really nice art museum in downtown Nashville and by the time we got back, had dinner, played with Dan’s nephews and settled down, I was actually tired. And fell asleep for about an hour. You know when you fall asleep with all your clothes on and the lights on and you wake up and go back to sleep feeling kind of bashful? That is not what happened here. I got an hour of sleep and have now been awake for the past two hours, being all pissed off that my body took a nap. Dan, of course, is fast asleep next to me. *shakes fist*

Tomorrow Dan and I are going on a pilgrimage of sorts – I don’t want to ruin the surprise for tomorrow’s post – but we’re getting up early, so hopefully that will reset this ridiculousness.

I’m sure you’re asking, “Why aren’t you reading? You wanted to read an ungodly amount of books this year?” Well, the answer is that I finished my 50 books for the year, which is cool. (I have a list on 43 Things – and I was really excited to check “Done” on that goal) I’m still reading though, my current book is about nuns. It’s actually super interesting, but there’s only so much you can read about nuns in one night. I hit my limit about 20 minutes ago….so here I am, rambling late at night to the interwebs.

*43 Things is a place where you keep lists of things you want to accomplish. Yes, it is an online website for crazy listmakers like myself. The next goal I want to work on is cooking all the recipes in a cookbook. Dan’s brother and sister-in-law actually just gave us a seasonal cookbook – the recipes using fruits and veggies that are in season (working on some of the tree-hugging goals from last night’s post) so I think that may be the book to work from.

Just in case this problem happens again tomorrow, can you all let me know what blogs/links you’ve been into lately? I don’t have my computer so all of my bookmarks are currently unavailable…and I may need something to entertain me while all of this Nashville suburb sleeps…
