A Milestone Reached

I think I'm about 18 years too late and 4 wine coolers too short, but I reached a milestone this morning. I managed to stay awake all night for the first time in my life.

I went out to dinner last night and watched the sunset from the patio of my favorite fish taco restaurant, and at home this morning I watched the sunrise as I got the girls ready for school. Not a wink was slept all night. How 'bout that? To quote Rachel from 'Friends': "Wow, that's quite a waste of time." This WAS pretty, though -



Caffeine + afternoon nap + late night Rock Band session + really good chick lit book = All-Nighter

Best parts:

* Kids are in school today, so I can sleep until 2:40pm
* No hangover
* No Organic Chemistry final to cram for
* Still feeling delirously high from sleep deprivation

Worst parts:

* Besides feeling like a moron for not being able to get to bed like a responsible 38-year-old, I'm guessing the worst parts are yet to come

Have a great weekend, y'all!

4 of you HAD to say...:

Are you up yet? Hope the headache you are likely to get around 2:40 pm isn't TOO bad!

And what's with fish tacos? Everyone from the southern states seems to talk about them, yet I have never heard of them!

Oh, I pity the girls today...
That being said, nice shot!

Missing you,

I love sunrises! I used to work the graveyard shift, so got to see them every morning on my way home from work.

Your first all nighter, hunh? I hope you had a good time and whatever ills you have this afternoon, remember what a good time you had!

Look at you party girl! Getting all crazy like, huh? I leave for a week and you pull an all nighter. What is the world coming to?

That being said good for you! I'm impressed. I have been known to stay up all night reading a book. I guess you picked a pretty good time to read one.

AND...YOU FOUND A SCORPION IN YOUR SINK?!?! Excuse me while I kindly excuse myself from ever coming to visit you.
