Finally! One of my girlfriends is free for lunch during the week! Not just any girlfriend, but the one who is a single mom to 3 and attending undergrad classes in prep for law school. Her time is precious and I am getting a piece! I felt so honored...no, I am being serious. She is one of my good friends from high school and conversation is always interesting and fulfilling.
On Wednesday, we made a lunch date for 12:30 on Friday. OMG...what do I wear? how do I do my hair? I get to wear makeup...YES! You'd think I had never been out in public before. I had big plans for the day. I would get up, give the dogs plenty of attention, beautify myself, go to lunch, and then go get my passport photo and other non-fun but essential errands. I went to bed ecstatic and set my alarm for 9.
Instead of waking up to the buzzing of an alarm, I woke up to Atlas (one my Danes) whining. Never a good sign. Usually means I have slept too long. I looked at my clock...9:10. Ok, we're good. I get up and glance at my husband's clock...12:10. What??? I ran downstairs and checked the other clocks...hoping they would agree with MY clock. Nope! Damn! So much for my hopes and dreams of beauty for the day! I hurriedly got dressed, texted my friend-"I'm still coming--overslept and not b/c I had fun last night either..tell ya later", fed and medicated the dogs, slapped on a hat, attempted to make myself look less like "I just woke up..sorry" with a bit of mascara and blush, and was out the door at 12:30.
I arrived by 1:00 and had a great lunch and even better conversation. I had to fess up that I was late b/c I hadn't gotten to bed until 3 a.m. due to blogging and my body apparantly thought sleep was more important than my need for human interaction. Luckily, she is a "my-spacer" and fully understood. Always nice to have common ground, dontcha think?

Between blogmad and blog explosion and blogging and doing my podcast, it's a wonder I get any sleep at all. I totally feel your pain. I was up until 2 last night editing and now I'm lying on the couch with my laptop plugged in again! Life in the 21st century.
your blog is cool.
