things are heating up!

Its getting hotter and hotter! Ugh. I need AC for reals. So today was the last day of my "sleep" journal. I am still not sure how this is going to work. I think that most nights I get about 4-6 hours of sleep. Which is fine. I am not as well as I was when I was getting 7-10 hours of sleep per night. Plus with the ambien it was regular sleep. Without it I never know when I am going to rest well, and when I am going to be awake all night tossing and turning. I have my next doctors appointment on July 6th. So we'll see what happens then. What have I been up to lately? Well I have been crocheting a lot. I have been working on this plain blanket for Jake using some neat yarn that I liked. But I don't like how boring it is. So even though I have made quite a bit of it, I am going to start over. Call me crazy, but I know that if I don't do it now I will always be disappointed in it. So thats that. I am working on a fun airy Summer blanket at the moment. Its kind of like a granny square blanket, but with bigger gaps so that its lighter. There are three different colors of blue in the yarn and one shade of green. I really like it. I think it will go with the beach/ocean photos that I have above our bed very well. So far I have completed two squares of ten rounds each. Next, I have done some shopping at Lush, of course. I actually just exchanged a few items that I wasn't liking that well, and picked out some new things. One of the things that I picked out I tried and already know I won't repurchase it. Oh my lush store is so sweet to me too! They are always giving me things :) I went to Berkeley on Tuesday with Jake (he was working during the day) so that I could watch him play softball in the evening, and I planned on going to the gym while I was there. However, once I arrived in Berkeley and was about to head over to the gym I realized that I didn't bring anything to shower with afterwards! So I dropped by lush and they gave me sample pots of shampoo, conditioner, and soaps! That gym locker room smelled so nice after I showered! I have also scrapbooked again! I haven't done that in so long. I have made quite a few pages over the past few days. And today I ordered some more prints! So excited :) Jake and I have also been watching a ton of sports lately! We watch the Battle Of The Bay, which is a series of baseball games between the San Francisco Giants, and the Oakland Athletics. We also watch the Playoffs, which was 7 games of basketball between the Boston Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers. Of course I was cheering on the Lakers, and we took the championship baby! Dude, so many of my friends were so mad about that. So many people hate the Lakers (and pretty much all the friends I am talking about live in CALIFORNIA, why wouldn't they cheer for the team from CALIFORNIA) and I am not really sure why. I mean I guess some people from Sacramento are bitter because the Lakers are a better team than the Kings. But whatever. I loved seeing them win and I think it was a hard earned fair win. But that's just from my point of view, and this is my blog, so thats fair. And last but certainly not least, we are watching the World Cup, which is soccer :) Right now I am watching England play against Algeria. This is only a game to watch for me because this game can effect the USA team later on. Depending on who wins in this game. Jake knows the specifics way better than I do. I understand whats going on with the structure of how they decide who plays who, but its hard for me to explain. Anyways, this morning we woke up at 4:30 to watch Germany play, and lose :( And then after that game was the USA team. So we watched that one as well. Then Jake went to work and I and keeping him updated on the games playing while he is gone :) I think I am going to go make some coasters now, because using old magazines as coasters is not working for me...

I really hope the sleeping continues to get better! 4 to 6 hours is a lot better than before. But still not enough...I hope you find some sort of solution.

Also, yay for scrapbooking! Glad you're doing that again, you are so talented at it. :)

Oh and I didn't know that you were such a sports fan!

Yay for sleep! Some sleep is better than no sleep.

You still so creative and good at keeping your little projects up (the coasters are really cute).

I'm jealous that you were able to see The Battle of The Bays. It's on my list to see before I die. :)

Heaven: I go through periods of time where I can scrapbook for hours everyday and do a lot, and then other times when I am not in the mood to do it at all and I could sit there and work on one page for a few hours and still not complete it. Recently I have gotten more comfortable with throwing pages together and not being so picky. I have realized that when I am old and look at these I will not wish that I made the cuts straighter or rotated certain stickers more or whatever. So that makes it a lot easier to complete pages faster :) I just picked up some more photos this morning :) So more scrapbooking for me!

I am not normally a big sports fan, but there are such good sports on right now! I love watching games with Jake. He is so patient with me asking tons of questions about things :P I like to watch series in sports rather than one game here and one game there. You know? And right now its all series :)


Shelly: Some sleep is better than no sleep! I am getting headaches every day :( And yesterday and today I am really shakey. I can't figure out why! The coasters work so well! But they take a long time to make! Like 45-60min each :/ Battle of the Bay is on every year :) You and Ted should watch it next year :) Jake and I go to a lot of A's games too. They have $2 Wednesday night home games! You guys should go to one now that you have Wednesdays off :) Maybe we could do a double date type of night out at an A's game sometime :)
