Burnt Out...

  

Today is one of those catch-up days. I making lots of lists, sending out emails, editing photos, and getting some sleep. Yesterday was a full day of driving back home from WV and I was just run down. It was a busy and fun weekend but that combined with my NYC trip has just left me a little exhausted and out of sorts. Plus, I am taking another day trip on Friday. Let's just say that I am getting used to spending lots of time in the car. I really did have a great time this past weekend hanging out with my fab family and I hope to have pictures up tomorrow!  

Peace and Love,

3-13-2012...

Today has been such a beautiful day!! It was about 80 degrees here and I loved it!! I must admit that I am not a super big fan of the whole daylight savings thing. I have been waking up at 11 am the past couple of days; losing that hour of sleep was ok'd by me. I think I may return to my Red Bull addiction...who knows.

Peace and Love,

Sleepy...

After a late night last night and working 10 hours today this little hippie is tired. I just want to sneak into bed with a fudge Sunday and fall asleep with the tv on.

Peace and Love,

So Sleepy...

I have been feeling pretty energized lately but today I totally crashed. I have been so tired all day and between speeches, babysitting the dog, and going to work I haven't had a chance to close my eyes. I know I talk about sleeping a lot. I think I have a serious problem. Haha, well let's see how long I can get in my book before I doze off...

Peace and Love,

Hump Day...

You should proud of this girl.

-No Oriole's games have been watched.

-No books have been read.

-No music has been listened to.

-No snacks have been eaten.

All I have done tonight is work on papers and speeches and study for a quiz. Of course, this girl is not the happiest of girls at the moment and would much rather be doing one of the things listed above. But I will survive (I think) and continue working after this blog has been posted. I don't know if I have ever been as excited for sleep as I am tonight!

Peace and Love,

I Need Coffee...

I haven't been able to sleep well for two nights in a row. It's just been a whole mess of tossing and turning, getting too hot and then getting too cold, all of which has led to major pain in my back and neck. Because I couldn't sleep last night I stayed home from school today so that I could rest up and work on a paper that is due on Thursday. It was so soothing just to lay on the couch this morning while the radio rocked me to sleep :) I think I'm gonna call it quits early tonight so that I can be bright eyed and bushy tailed in the the morning!

Peace and Love,

Last Moments of Summer...

This is how some of my last moments of summer were spent. If only I could sleep all day now. That is one of the things I love about summer.

What Gets Me To Sleep...

I'm sure that everyone goes through nights where they can't sleep. Since I take naps all the time most nights I have trouble getting to sleep. I thought I would share some of the things that get me to sleep when it seems impossible.

First of all Hulu and Netflix are both amazing things! You can watch almost anything on them. Personally I like to fall asleep to the sound of the TV. But there are a few shows that I love in particular.

1. The Partridge Family

This has been my newest obsession as of late. I used to watch this show all the time when I was around 7 and now I can't get enough of it! You can watch the whole first season on Hulu and you can grab seasons 1-3 on Itunes if you like. I also really like that this is an old TV show, it relaxes me.

2. Psych

Psych is my favorite show on TV. I can't get enough of Shawn and Gus! It's so funny and so cool. It's nice to fall asleep to something that makes you laugh and makes you happy.

3. White Collar

Who would not want the last thing that they see before they close their eyes to be Matt Bomer's face? He is so dreamy! Anyway, I love this show. It's got it's own twist and isn't like those other police shows out there. It's smart, funny, and stylish. It's also got some great shots of NYC. Just another one of my favorites to fall asleep to.

4. 30 Rock

Tina Fey is the bomb. 30 Rock is hilarious. Netflix let's you watch the first 3 seasons on demand. It's pretty legit!

Pandora is another great thing on the web. I love to just put my laptop on my bed-side table and let the music rock me to sleep. Here are my two favorite stations to fall asleep to.

1. Judy Garland

This station is amazing. You get everything from Sinatra to Billie Holiday on here. Great stuff and very relaxing.

2. Rilo Kiley

I love this band. They are so cool and have a kinda hippie flavor to them. Definately check them out. They rock but are not hard-core. This station is really cool.

Finally, I am a baseball girl. I love and adore the game. You can buy games on Itunes so of course I have multiple Orioles games on my Ipod. I just love all of the sounds. The commentators, the crack of the bat, the crowd talking and cheering. All of it is great. I love to fall asleep to the sounds of the ballpark.

Well there you have it. That is my list of things that get me to sleep :)

Peace and Love,

Em
