The truth is I am about to take a sleeping pill and turn on a movie. I haven't slept well in the past week and it is starting to catch up on me...and that's not good. Ive relied primarily on unhealthy amounts of caffeine to keep me awake while working. The whole "read a book and take a bath" thing backfired on me last night when I looked at the clock, several chapters later, and it was 2am. Awesome.
Random-ness
1. I have been watching the Casey Anthony trial and or the news afterwards on HLN for the past 2 weeks. NERD. I had slightly followed the case over the past 3 years, but finally came across it while in my hotel room 2 weeks ago. And that's where the small obsession began. I don't even think it has to do with the dynamics of the case...which are insane to begin with (no pun intended...) but more to do with the dynamics of the court system. Ive learned all sorts of new info and terms from this case. I have to admit that I have been watching it with a biased opinion...but come-on...you didn't report your daughter missing for 31 days!? And it turns out now that she "drowned" and you covered it up with your "sexually abusive" father...REALLY!? Sorry, mini rant. I digress. I have tried to watch it with a non-bias opinion, and honestly, I couldn't be a juror on this case. If I knew nothing about this case, I wouldnt know what to think. Too much scientific mumbo-jumbo.
I have been watching it with the kids that I watch during the day, and I think it is a great piece of potential history to learn from. However, this is 100% my summer guilty pleasure "show".
2. I would love to start a beauty products blog. I love reading them (another guilty pleasure I have) and then buying/testing the products for myself (an even worse and costly guilty pleasure). When I learned that the makeup you own can be a "collection" that can be "grown"...I went crazy. My desk, which once held books, papers and my computer was turned into my vanity...with all four drawers full and my desktop full. I could stop whenever I want...I swear. BUT...I think it would be so cool to review all the new stuff that I get to try! There is so many of them out there however that this may stay on my "to-do" list for a bit.
3. MOVE IN DAY IS IN 2 WEEKS. Should I even attempt to explain how excited elated ecstatic I am!? It couldnt possibly show through a blog post. I will post pictures once everything is moved it. We will be painting on the 8th and hopefully moving in all our stuff that weekend since we have a few crazy weeks in July coming up.
I know there was more but I cant think of them now. Oh well. Im pretty sure it had to do with my search for a movie I bought. Its no where to be found. Maybe I'll find it when I pack to leave....gag (I HATE PACKING).
Alright...bedtime :)
UPDATE: I remembered. You know? That other "thing".
It was about my recent obsession with frozen grapes. Red to be exact. Seriously, try it sometime. :)
