Sometimes I don't sleep

Sometimes, like tonight (I mean, like this morning) I don't go to sleep when I'm supposed to.

Ok it's not like I'm supposed to per se
I live alone and I don't have someone telling me to go to sleep
but let's say I don't even try to climb into bed and lay my pretty head on one of my billions of pillows and fall asleep when it is socially acceptable to do so.

Instead, I do some, or all, of the following:
* watch t.v. online (oh how I wish I still had DVR)
(and curse too much during ALL of the Grey's finale as I thoroughly freaked out - WHO SAW ANY OF THAT COMING?!?!)
* buy MC (Morgan Canfield. man I'm getting creative.) a present.
(for our, ahem, 9 month anniversary coming up. well that's my excuse anyways, I just like buying him things)
* buy me (that's Julie Bennett) a present.
(I like to make things fair. scratch that, I just wanted to buy something.)
* pay bills. yes. pay bills. ugh.
* facebook. duh, that's a given.
* avoid peeing.
(If anyone knows me they know how much I pee. They also know how much I think it is a waste of time. therefore: avoiding it.)
* blogstalk. a little something I like to call: wasting time.
* facials.
(when Morg opens the gym the next day {like tomorrow} he leaves to go sleepybye a little earlier...
so I like to slather honey and yogurt on my face and look like a monster. my face loves me for it.)

since all of those things have been done, I believe it might be time for me to hit the hay.

but before that, here's a gem from MC & I's trip to Ryan & Lara's wedding last weekend:
ok nite.

dear life,

right now i really love you.

actually, right now my eyes are really heavy

and my brain is really slow moving

so right now you are a little bleary-eyed.

but other than that, you are awesome.

because i finally got to see my family

in my new stomping grounds

and show off my hotter than hott boyfriend

who i love more than a billion reeses cups

or a thousand peaunut butter and honey sandwiches

or 12 cases of diet coke

ok well more than anything really...

and my family got to see that love in person.

and see how wonderful he treats me

and really experience my happiness.

and its because you let me have amazing friends

that make me laugh until my back hurts

and i have to sit down to catch my breath

and its because you help me remember how important little adventures are

and enjoying the small things is like, the best thing ever.

like sunday night adventures with morgface

and being able to notice all those little things he does for me

and listen to story after wonderful story from his (dominican republic) mission

and begin again to get so giddy over planning

the amazing things we will do there in 2.5 months.

and though maybe my alarm clock didn't go off this morning,

life, i'm so effin happy that i can sit here and remember those

amazing moments

and revel in them again, and again.

love,

me.

Life = Hella Crazy = Hella Awesome.

I don't use the word 'hella' in normal conversation, but for some reason I feel OK typing it and using it to try and describe my life at this point in time and the level of crazy and awesome it is at.

I can't begin to catch up, or fill in, or update at this point. But I can tell you what is coming up!

First - Morgan and I are going to see this bachelorette:

Become un-bacheloretted (word? yes) by this boy:

And we're really excited :)

Second - Morgan and I are going to drive (yes, you read that right. drive.) to NC to see my family

In particular, to see this little brother graduate from highschool (man I feel old):

Third - I'm going to have the first annual reunion with these girls in July:

And I couldn't be more thrilled :)

And Fourth - this couple is going to spend 10 days getting their tropical vacation on

on this island (just in case you don't recognize it, psh, its the Dominican Republic!!)

Phew. 4 trips. 4 months. I'm ready.
