Coffee tonight

Okay. So I KNOW I shouldn’t be drinking coffee at 9 o’clock at night. Bad idea. But here is the thing... it was a craving. I just desperately needed a little bit of coffee flavored caffeine in my bloodstream. So you may be hearing from me in ohh about three hours. But hopefully I will be blissfully asleep (and immune to the caffeine).

slowing down.

This is a photo from Bekah's Birthday party. We all went out for dinner and drinks, and Bekah ended up with a tattoo of all things.


(air brushed of course)

I have been putting off writing here until I have a minute to breate, but then I realized that if I wait for that it may never happen. So here I am at 11pm writing when I should be in bed...so in some strange (and pathetic) act of defiance I am choosing to stay up and write rather than getting stuck in boring adulthood. Who goes to bed at 10:30? Not I. Who wishes she did whenever she has to wake up at 6:00am?...yea that's me. Every night I wish to be young and stay up late, but than morning comes around and I consider forgetting every responsibility for an hour more of sleep. After a battle with my snooze I get out of bed and crawl for the coffee, and usually after 5 minutes of conciousness I am alert and ready to go. I just love sleep so incredibly much, but the problem is I love spending quality time with Ben and my friends more. Sleep deprived, perhaps... but I will gladly sip coffee all morning and yawn on occasion than miss a night with the people I love. After that rant, I leave with promises to post more photos and words. ( I was going to write "words of wisdom" and then laughted at the thought).

rain.

Its been raining for most of the day, and most of my time was spent in the classroom. Now I'm free from listening for awhile to teachers talk. I'm thinking a nap is in order. What is better then a nice afternoon nap on a rainy day? The test went well today, when the question came up about what Contantinople is called today I had to laugh a little to myself. My academic week is done, just one more day of work to finish off the week. Then (sigh) it's the weekend. I plan on going to the family cabin this weekend to help take out the dock and boat lifts. Hopefully it won't be too cold, and I hope that I'm not the one in waders while standing in the cold lake. I am going to bring my Nikon with so hopefully I will be able to take some great fall shots. Weather cooperating of course. Either way it will be a cozy weekend curled up with my homework, camera, coffee, and scrapbooking stuff. I think we all need a weekend to make us slow down sometimes, but for now an afternoon nap will do.

It's raining and I can't sleep. Too much coffee, but at least tomorrow is a day free from finals and work. Sleeping in has now become necessary for 8 hours of sleep. I wanted to take a picture of the rain on my window but my battery is dead and the charger is in my car I think. So much for falling asleep to the sound of rain outside...
