Carmen and I exchanged Christmas presents last night which was a good and bad thing completely. She gave me the new Laurell K. Hamilton book Mistral's Kiss which was also a good and bad thing. It is the fourth in a four book series about Merry Gentry and, although I started reading another of the books, I knew nothing about the backstory. But it was sexy, had action and everything like that so I read it all last night...which led to my problem.
Around 3:30 last night I finished it and layed down to go to sleep...yea, not happening. Around 6:30 my ma called up to ask where her wallet was and I was still wide awake. We ended up going to breakfast together. I simply wasn't tired. AT ALL! So much so that when me and my father got home, I washed both our dogs and made dinner (potatoe soup with home made dumpling that I fucked up for the first time in my life becuase I didn't get any sleep.) I was done around 10:30 where I decided to try to go back sleep finally.
That didn' happen either.
To make my ma happy I told her I fell asleep around 12. It was more like 1 and then I ended up waking up at 3. So here's the total:
Hours Awake -- 33
Hours slept -- 2
Hours until I can go back to bed -- at least 4
I'm cranky, grumpy and VERY VERY tired. But I enjoyed the book and it led me to buy the first one! THANKS CARM! MUCH LOVE TO YOU HONEY!!
On other more exciting and YAY worthy news. I am now the proud owner of a laptop. I bought it Tuesday but humored my ma and let her wrap it to go under our tree since she did give me $200 toward it. I can't wait to get everything all set up on it. There's a few things I want to get yet like a Digital camera and some odds and ends for the laptop itself but i'll be fine for now.
