It is 2:34 A.M. and I am still awake. This is the second night in a row. What makes me a little nuts is that I was falling asleep on the couch at 7:30. EEK.
Anyhoo, here is a list of things I have thought about since not sleeping.
1. Turning a brief romance I had when I was nineteen into a novel or screenplay.
2. Sending Mr. Hedgehog a blowpop for his birthday as some sort of dumb spiteful thing.
3. What one does to celebrate someone's birthday when they haven't known them very long.
4. About visiting Cgrace this summer, if possible.
5. If becoming some sort of activist (again) could also be financially rewarding.
6. How one has an adult relationship by just being totally honest, and about how this means you must relinquish control.
7. Jillo and her travels, and potentially being geographically closer, and about being happy at work.
And some other stuff too.
I have been cooking like crazy over at S & B's. Some things have come out poorly, but on the whole it has been OK. I gotta stop making dessert, though, or at least work out some times. I made chili on Friday night, and after giving some to B and offering him a beer to go with it, he said, "Now WHY are you single?" [paraphrased] It was very sweet of him..
A-man became an official two year old today. Poor guy, I think he is aware his whole world is about to change (and that his Mommy doesn't feel well). Today he pitched his first real toddler hissy fit (at least that I have witnessed). He squeezed it all in...inconsolable crying, throwing things, hitting his daddy, crying through unintelligible demands, and irritated full body twitching. I think those moments are what parenting is all about. Taking those times to teach kids that emotions are good, and that it is great to express them, but that there are good and bad ways to do so. Oh, and that they aren't always going to get their way.
I also starting painting the garage today. I'm being a bit sloppy about it, but it is going to look MUCH better!
Ok, I know I'm going to have to get up early, so I'm going to lay down again. I'm off to the city tomorrow afternoon. I'll see if any funk has grown out of the fridge and taken over my apartment. ;-)

Insomnia... I know what that is like these days!
Funny, you were awake when I was (2:34AM PST = 5:34AM EST). Actually, I was almost to work. Funny that whole time zone thing. Sometimes I think about all the Cali gang sound asleep as I am getting out of bed at 4AM. It makes me smile.
