Sleeping-Not-So-Pretty

If you know me at all then you know that I am not a morning person. I just don't like them. Who made up the saying "The early bird gets the worm"? Because in my opinion the saying should go, "The early bird is a lame ass. The bird who gets up a little later probably has a life and is likely a much chirpier bird".

But seriously. I hate to admit it but if I'm not woken up in a very calm and quiet manner then my day is shot. At least for a few hours.

A few other random facts about my sleeping pattern:

• I can't sleep if my feet are hot
• I really can't sleep if my whole body is hot
• I used to have to sleep with a fan on...white noise is good, mmm kay?
• I can't go to sleep before 12am. Even if I have to be up at 6am everyday. Say it with me,"night". "owl".
• I take nightmares personally. That's because my nightmares usually involve someone I know & love doing something shitty. Or someone I know & love getting hurt. When I wake up I'm typically super pissed off for no good reason. It usually takes me a few hours to pinpoint exactly why I'm angry before I remember the nightmare. Weirdo, I know.

So why am I going on and on about my sleep? Because there was construction going on at 6:45 outside my window. 6:45 is ungodly. It's in the Bible, look it up. Construction at 6:45 makes me want to stomp outside, take the jackhammer or whatever in the hell is making that god-awful noise out of the nice little workers hand and say, "NO!". And then stomp back into my house.

Seriously. Why??? I will destroy you!

Rich Girl

Maybe it's living in the marina here in San Francisco. Maybe it's having lived in Carmel. But can I just say...

Girls, especially girls who live in my neck of the woods, your life ain't that bad. Do boys go & break your heart? Yup. Are you twenty-something & still struggling to know what you want to do when you grow up? Frustrating, I know. Do you have a sensitive soul that feels things a little more intensely? That's difficult to handle sometimes, I know. Friends don't quite understand you, do they? Sometimes you don't understand you. What is the point of this little life anyway?

Stop right there, emo. Can we take a moment to take stock of what you do have? You're a beautiful girl who has had just about everything she could ever want handed to her. You live in one of the most affluent parts of the world. You've never had to worry about clean water or food to eat. War has never touched your life.You're educated. Your wardrobe consists of J. Crew & Coach. You're golden.

Don't know what set me off. Just saw one too many self-important girl who thought the world revolved around her & that it was surely about to crash down around her. This world would be much more bearable if people would just take a look outside of themselves.

I'm blessed to live where I have and where I do. I just pray that I'm never "that" girl.
