Happy Father's Day!

Keep fighting, Pops...Love you

I want one!

My sister recently introduced me to The Daily Puppy (http://www.dailypuppy.com/) where I discovered the perfect dog for me amongst my ooooh's and awww's: the Puggle. It is 1/2 pug and 1/2 beagle. They only get to be 15-30 pounds and just over a foot tall (perfect for laying on the couch/bed with me at all times). Puggles are known to be mild-mannered, playful, sociable, and affectionate - who could ask for anything more in a lil pup?! I've been really wanting a little tyke to tromp around after me of my own the past few months and if I had the funds, I surely would have bought one already - Just look at 'em!

How can you resist those eyessss and floppy ears and wrinkly face?? Adorable.

I fear that my days of not being able to fall asleep have devilishly returned. It happened the other night as I watched my boyfriend comfortably sleep for 2 hours as I ultimately ended up folding laundry and watching tv instead of dreaming of better things. I have been in bed for 4 hours now and have failed to even come close to achieving la-la-land. I reflect on my high school days in amazement when I would stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning and wake up at 6 to get ready for school, then go until 2pm in classes followed by exerting my energy in either a practice or a game only to return home to complete my homework, stay up until 2 or 3am again and repeat the process all over on a daily basis. I do not want to return to those days. I love sleep. I am a serious napper and by that I mean I don't take your normal 30 minute nap... I am more of a 2-4 hour napper. I absolutely love sleep, which leave me to wonder why at night I cannot fall asleep when it's the one thing I absolutely want to do. I watch the hours dwindle down to when I have to wake up all the while calculating how many hours/minutes of sleep I am going to get and figuring out how I am going to make it through the day. I've cleaned my room, made to-do lists, wrote down random schedules, and flopped around a few too many times and yet, here I am, still no sleep, and less than 4 hours before I have to get up. I think it's time for some Lunesta or some other script that'll get me some quality Z's!
