Last night Ulli, Caity, Eileen and I had dinner at Bar Lola.

But before we headed over for dinner, Ulli and I met up for a cocktail at City Bar in the Lenox Hotel. We both had the basil gimlet. It was delicious.

The following voicemail was left on my phone this morning:

Hi Jen, Today on my lunch break I’m going to run to the house and grab the last box and drop it off with your sister. I’m just going to put it in her car, so she’ll be able to bring it back to your apartment tonight. I hope you enjoyed all the leftovers from dinner! Well, have a nice day and I’ll see you this weekend! Bye! Love you, pumpkin!

… Oh by the way. This is your mother.

God, I love my mum.

So this is the last day of NaBloPoMo. It’s been a good month. Thanks again Eden for organizing.

Before I go and leave you blogless for two whole days in a row (I can do that now!), I just want to post a final reminder about my holiday cards and desktops. Purchase the cards by clicking the shiny yellow button in my sidebar ($10 … 15 cards… in 3 days or less!). Get more info and the desktops from this much more informative entry here.

Enjoy the weekend folks!

Because I know you all care. Oh so very much.

It was suggested I try some over the counter sleep aids, just to give myself a nudge. Basically, I found out they are Benedryl without the medicine – just the sleepy factor. Took them Monday, didn’t appear to have any affect. Took them Tuesday, and while they didn’t make me fall asleep quicker, I did manage to fall asleep at a reasonable hour and only wake up ONCE during the night but was so incredibly groggy all yesterday. So my plan was to take them EVEN earlier last night to see if they’d kick in and prevent me from being the walking dead all day today.

Last night my friend Liz and I had dinner. After we returned back to my apartment so that A.) we could watch America’s Next Top Model together and B.) so that I could take the pills even EARLIER than I did the night before. Bonus that Liz is in the medical field and could actually witness what affect, if any, these pills were having on me.

Well I took them at 8:00 on the nose. She left at 9:30 and I was not sleepy in the least. In fact, I tried on three outfit options for today and modeled them all for my sister. And after just hung out in my bed.

Basically, my body hates me and nothing will kill the Insomniac Beast living inside of me. But I promised to try this for a week. So tonight, we’ll experiment again.

(Can you sense my HATE? Because it’s there. IN FULL FORCE.)

This vase is on my desk in my home studio/office. I bought it 3 years ago from Pier 1 and it just happens to match my new rug just perfectly. (I guess that’s what happens when you fall in love with one color palette and decorate your entire life with it! Let’s just hope I never ever get sick of it. Because then I’d be, quite frankly, screwed.)

There are no words. Other than “WOW”. That’s it. Just wow.

Also, those of you who ordered holiday card gift packs (uh, can I say “THANK EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU!”), I shipped every order I received so far (like as in orders that came in as of 4:15 today). Depending on what lovely city you live in you should receive your cards in 1 – 3 days.
