I don't hardly know her, but I think I could love her

I've been tired lately... which I know because I've been sleeping all the way through the night. I generally wake up once or twice to just roll over, but the last two nights, I'm asleep as soon as I hit the bed, and next thing I know it's time to get up again. Argh.

One thing: I haven't been dreaming much. There was some dream a few nights ago that involved meeting Peter Krause (he was so adorable!) but other than that, I have no clue what's going on in the old subconcious (but hey, do I ever?)

I only get my two usual days off this week, but at least I'm scheduled to go in later on Fridays now. I believe I may be one of those obnoxious people who get up at ungodly hours to go shopping the day after Thanksgiving. Target is opening at 6 a.m., and they had some kickass sales last year that I missed out on because I was hella broke. While definitely not rolling in it this year, I think I'll be able to take advantage of some good sales prices.

Seriously, I practically live at Target. I bought a new watch there last week: Brown with pink flowers... and then today, I got both blue cheese and lamb on it. I should probably remember to not wear it to work, but it's so cute! The pink one I've had for awhile was starting to act weird; I was at work one day and impatiently waiting for it to be 5:30 so I could leave. I was checking my watch over and over, and thought, "Wait, how is it still 5:20?" It had either stopped and started again, or was running slow, but I ended up working 20 minutes longer than I should have. Wah.

I'm thinking of going to see "The Mist" on Thursday evening. I'm totally bummed that I missed my chance at seeing "P2." Speaking of scariness, I've been seeing previews for some movie called "Awake" where Hayden Christiansen is some guy who is undergoing surgery and wakes up but is unable to move/speak... um, why are all of my biggest phobias being made into movies this year?? I don't know if I could stand seeing that; watching that episode of "Nip/Tuck" was hard enough.

Some movies I am super-sick of hearing about: "Bee Movie" (Jerry Seinfeld* is ugh), "Enchanted" (wah) and "Beowulf." I don't even get it.

*Actually, I did see a few minutes of a "Seinfeld" episode a week or two ago that made me laugh. He was talking to some woman whose name he couldn't remember, but did know that it rhymed with a female body part. She got mad and left when he guessed her name as Mulva (ha!), then Gipple (don't men also have "gipples"?). He eventually remembered and yelled out the window at her, "Dolores!" Sadly, it took me like a full minute to figure out what that kinda rhymes with.

Miscellaneous: I donated to St. Jude's once, and since then they will not leave me alone. They started off my sending stickers and address labels; now they've moved up to a fifteen-month pocket calendar that is actually quite good looking! Of course, the picture for each month is of some ailing child saying a sappy quote. It's very good at inducing guilt, but I figure I'm going to keep holding out until they start sending really great free stuff; encyclopedias, commemorative plates, and so forth.

I think I'm going to just relax this evening, and not pressure myself to work on any writing or website stuff (besides this blog post, obv'y). I'm feeling rather cozy thanks to my outfit (PJ's, two pairs of socks - it's cold! - and a sweater), my dinner (chicken and dumplings, mmm) and the beer I had at work this afternoon (hey, my boss gave it to me, and believe me, my nerves needed it).
