I felt the urge to post another entry, but I don’t have the slightest idea of what to write about. It impresses me that there are bloggers who are consistently able to come up with and discuss three topics. I have trouble sticking to a single topic, and I jump from topic to topic. I cannot help but wonder if that’s what makes my posts so interesting to read. However, I write the way that I talk which is probably why people either love talking with me or absolutely hate it. Plus, I have a tendency to talk in a really quiet voice. LOL But anyways, I am about to prove my point as I’m changing to another topic.

Those of you who have read even a single previous post will know that I’m constantly battling insomnia. It definitely has an effect on my daily life, and I’ve been on the defensive with it…sleeping in, forcing myself to stay awake for longer periods of time. I’ll admit that these activities most likely contributed to the severity of my insomnia. So, I’ve decided that I’m going to go with the exact opposite approach and see what happens. Because God knows that my current approach isn’t doing a single thing about it. I’ve decided that I’m going to bed by 1:00 in the morning for the next month. Then I’ll move it up by 30 minute increments until I’m going to bed at a suitable time. I’m hoping that doing this, along with drinking a cup of hot Sleepytime Vanilla tea will finally cure my insomnia. BTW, this is the second day of the plan and it worked perfectly last night, but my fingers are crossed that it’ll continue to work. :D

I am hoping to have some good news about my laptop sometime in the next week. My Uncle is wanting me to go to this new computer store in Marion called Computers and More. I’m a bit hesitant though, with the main reason being that they don’t have a website. I’ll admit that I wouldn’t be as perturbed if it wasn’t a store that sold computers and other such items. You’d think that such a place would understand the wisdom of having a well-developed presence on the Internet.

But it’s time to move on to another topic. Georgie recently posted that her Mom had found her portfolio by googling her name. This made me a bit curious about what would show up when I googled my own name. I discovered that there is an accountant and a tennis player with the same name as me. It makes me a bit concerned, a bit worried, and a bit excited. My reason for feeling this way is that I feel more embarrassed about what I have and have not achieved, but excited because I know that if I work hard – then I can achieve my goals…whatever they may be.

Well, I’m off to bed – because it’s after midnight where I live and I need the sleep. :) I just hope that I don’t wake up with a sinus headache in the morning. :(

I’ve been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good. – Barbra Streisand

I am in serious trouble :lol: as I have recently discovered Pinterest and We♥It. I have spent the last 5 hours pinning things…It’s horrible. I really need to be doing so many different things – I still haven’t got 90% of the items on my list completed. I am just so easily distracted, despite the fact that I know that I need to get some of the things done. How do you keep from getting distracted? Or do you, like me, prefer to procrastinate until the last possible second and run around like a crazy person trying to get things done?! :help: On a brighter note, my horoscope1 for today says:

You are easily coaxed into setting aside your long-term responsibilities for a while if you think that you’ll be able to experience a bit of pleasure today. The Moon is visiting your 5th House of Play now, so take time to express yourself in the present moment. Don’t worry if you need to return later to complete unfinished business. Let yourself be as creative as possible, even if it’s not about making money. Don’t hold back; do something for the sheer fun of it.

So, maybe my being easily distracted is a way of inspiring my creativity. :huh: However, I am more interested in having an up close and personal relationship with my pillow right now…and my nice cozy blankets. :sleepy: The problem is that if I go to sleep now, I will probably sleep until tonight and then repeat the process. :grr: I guess that I’ll have to set the alarm on my cell phone, and hope that I don’t sleep through it.

In other news, my dog Colby has sprained his ankle. Neither Mom nor I have the slightest idea of how he did it, and we are both totally freaking out. We cannot afford to take him to the vet to have it looked at.

Well, I guess that I have wasted enough of your time today…and I really do need to get some sleep. It seems that I am getting the start of a migraine and I have been having a bad reaction to pain pills lately. I cannot seem to keep them down. :(
