My sister's to my left. My backpack to my right. You guys, this was the longest short trip I've ever taken.
br / br / Let's start with the fact that this all began on Friday at 6am and is just now ending and I've had about 5 hours total to sit and do nothing. During which, I got sick. Now I'm better.
.. my body knows I won't take that "sick" shit!
! br / br / Is it crazy that we drove to Durango, Colorado to visit my dad (a 6 1/2 hour drive) on the 23rd then drove back to NM the next day? I'm asking cuz I'm not sure.
It felt crazy to me! br / br / Oh but let me first say that I got some sweet gifts for Christmas. A new camera.
Yay! It's cute and little and we call her Jolene. I also got the Paul Simon box set.
Hooray! I got a subscription to Paste magazine from my awes sis and my fave perfume from L'Occitane. What a swell.
Good gift year. br / br / Hey guys guess how awesome Wal Mart is? SO AWESOME.
I went in there for stemware for my ex step-dad and came out with 6 DVDs @ under $5 each. Come on! And they're not crap either.
Check this out...
br / br / 1. Beverly Hills Cop br / 2. Chris Rock Bigger and Blacker br / 3.
Coming to America br / 4. Strange Brew br / 5. Risky Business br / 6.
Sunset Boulevard br / br / Tell me I didn't score. Just try it. br / br / Picture this: It's Christmas Eve.
My sister and I are like, "yo, we're gonna go watch Chris Rock in my bedroom." My mom goes, "watch it out here! we want to see it!
we're cool!" No doubt do I think they are cool..
. my mom is very liberal. But do I want to watch CR drop the N bomb all over their living room on Christmas Eve?
Notasomuch. Yeah, we totally watched it. It was fine until he started talking about licking balls.
Then it was just too much for them. Maybe they'll listen to me next time. But I doubt it.
br / br / While in Durango I ran into a TON of people I went to high school with. Here are a few things you don't plan on. 1.
Not remembering people's names. 2. Feeling like you're back in high school isn't my favorite feeling.
3. You get drunk a lot faster at 6,000 feet. (that last one only pertains to me) br / br / Kelsey and I stayed out till about 2:30 on Saturday night in Durango.
We then got up at 7am, went to breakfast and then drove the 6 1/2 hours back to Las Crucas, NM. Are we crazy? It might seem that way.
It just might. br / br / I also go to meet my friend Heidi's new baby Adwyn. What a HAPPY AND AWESOME BABY!
Seriously. And it's amazing seeing Heidi as a mom. So at ease.
So comfortable. It's just like it's meant to be, you know? br / br / And it's making me think more about marriage.
.. kids.
Do I want that shit? Really? I don't know, dudes.
The more I think about it the more I think I just want to make a shit load of money doing my own thing and have a bunch of cats. Right? You with me, NY ladies?
No? Ok it's just me and you, kitties. br / br / I paid $7 for this internet connection.
I'm typing until my flight boards, bitches. br / br / So let's recap here: br / br / Friday 6am - wake up, get ready, leave for airport br / 10am - fly out of NY br / 1:30pm - arrive in El Paso br / 2:00pm - Picked up and driven back to Las Crucas br / 8:00pm - pass out from exhaustion br / Saturday 5am - wake up, drive to Durango br / 1:30pm - arrive in Durango, lunch with Dad br / 5:00pm - dinner with ex step-dad br / 8:00pm - meet up with friends at Joel's br / 2:30am - home to bed br / Sunday 7am - wake up, breakfast with friends (that's 5 hrs of sleep after a night of drinking..
. if you're keeping track) br / 10:30am - drive back to Las Crucas br / 5:30pm - arrive in LC br / 8:30pm - bed br / Monday 9am - wake up br / 9:30 - open gifts br / blahblahblahblah br / 9:00pm - bed br / Tuesday 7:30am - wake up br / br / AND THAT BRINGS US TO NOW. NON-STOP FUN!

Or lack of sleep, really. I can't remember the last time I slept really, really well. No wait.
I do remember. It was about a year ago. All I remember is that I had rehearsal for a a href="http://www.
thepearlbrunswick.com" Pearl Brunswick /a show and I was on FIRE. I was so fucking funny and energetic and I felt AMAZING.
And...
yeah. That's the last time. br / br / So you know how people say you can't "catch up" on sleep?
I know there are conflicting views on this but I tend to be of the "ya can't" party. I think my troubles really started about 4 years ago when I met my ex. He lived like a night owl, I lived like a girl working 3 days a week (starting at 7:30 am) and I accomodated to fit his schedule.
And quite honestly I have never quite caught up. I know that sounds ridiculous but we're gonna go with that theory. br / br / Another reason I have a terrible time sleeping is dreams.
And this is the most frustrating part because I can not do anything about them. The other night I had one of the worst dreams I've had in a while (yes, worse than being shot in the head). It happened over and over (probably 4 times but it felt like 50) and every time I'd wake up I was SO SCARED.
It was nothing, really. I was in a room with doors and it was light and then suddenly it would go pitch black and hands would come out and start grabbing me. It was so realistic I just got a chill thinking about it.
br / br / If only I could sell tickets to my dreams. I'd be a millionaire. It was honestly scarier than any horror movie I've seen.
br / br / Sometimes my dreams are great like when I used to have epic dreams with amazing, brilliant colors where I'd be one a boat going around the world with little people. I must have been happier back then..
. br / br / maybe? br / br / Are dreams directly related to how we're doing in the non-dream world?
br / br / I never saw "The Science of Sleep" but I bet I'd love it. Maybe I'll rent that for the plane ride home. br / br / That reminds me.
