Please don't call 911



I'm fine.



Sometimes you just need to be sad. No explanations necessary. I will wallow for a few more days and then the trip to Boston will surely kick me in the butt and make me come out of this....hopefully.



I go though this every once in a while and I don't OUT myself in my journal....this time I did. Not sure if it was a good thing to do. Sometimes it's better if everyone keeps the illusion of Sylvie instead of real Sylvie.



ok...I'm getting deep again...



back to the kiddie pool...



coffee - iced nonfat latte w/ equal -ICK ICK ICK - run away from this drink!

music - tv...don't ask

I am a furniture buying goddess. I must say..



I went furniture shopping yesterday and bought a red sofa....which just happens to match my chaise and loveseat...for $235!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



This sofa retails at $1200, I might add.



Thus...I am a furniture buying goddess.



Other news...I am not a life goddess. I am in a crappy state of mind lately and not good for much other than apparently, sofa buying. I have put off deadlines. I'm still not rushing towards them the way I should. I have NO beads for sale on e-bay. I have done NO beadmaking to get ready for the Gathering. And i don't really see either of those getting done any time soon.



I will have things to sell at the Gathering. That's not really the issue as much as that I didn't even make an attempt.



I am feeling like a beady-loser right now. This is one of those icky journal entries that happens every once in a while. You take the good with the bad, though. Some of my entires are nice and fluffy (like the beginning of this one) and some are just not.



I am still in life-avoidance mode. :(



coffee today - venti non fat no-whip 3 pump mocha (why bother right?)

music - not

I'm singing the old commercial for mounds and almond joy in my head today...



"sometimes you feel like a nut...sometimes you don't"



This is my journal and I know what I feel like today.....and you don't.



I made some beads today until a non-beadmaking person called and I picked up the phone (mistake) and they didn't wish to leave a quick # and let me call them back SO...I ruined the very fine bead I was working on. :(



Now am doing shipping stuff...hoping to make beads later...probably won't get to though.



still singing....







had coffee today - starbucks mocha

music -still playing in my head

oooh! I just looked and my blogger clock is faster than my computer clock.



It's 9:00 it's bedtime for Frances :)



Thank you for helping me raise $273 for Gilda's Club!



goodnight

So here I sit....as the hampsters (you) view my life as their "10 minute bedtime tour"



Thank you for checking in on me. Thank you for sponsoring me.



Thank you for putting up with much silliness.



Thank you for your understanding when I don't post for a couple of days?



1 minute till bedtime...................................1 minute!



(this is the part where you hampsters pack up to go)

My kids have a book by Peggy Rathman called "10 Minutes till Bedtime"



The plot of the book is that there is a count down till bedtime, being yelled by the dad, but while that is going on, the little boy's hampsters are having a sort of party cum family reunion....The 10 Minute Bedtime Tour.



Everytime the dad says "10 minutes till bedtime" the little hampster tour guide says into his megaphone...."10 minutes" and they rush through their tour which inclues brushing teeth, taking a bath...other bedtime routines which to the hampsters are entertainment fit for a tour (they've come from far away in R.V.s for this tour! A little caravan of hampsters heading in for the tour.



And after counting down with the dad and the hampster tour guides...



the next to last page says "One minute till bedtime" and the hampster guide repeats it....the visiting hampsters pack back into their vehicles and drive off into the horizon.



And we see the little boy in bed and his own hampsters back in their cage ready for bed.





I am about to end my 24 hours till bedtime tour. We're at the 3 minutes mark.....

(still ticked that my 8:00 post disappeared!)

I SWEAR that I posted something at 8:00...where is it???



About that time I also got bumped offline, so that might be the problemo



BUMMER! I had not missed a single posting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Ok....I'm sure it was witty, but I don't remember what it was!

Seven thirty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



whooo hoo!!!!!!!!!!



not sure why I'm cheering, but it's like I see the light at the end of the blogathon



It's completely light outside now...maybe I'm waking up a bit because of that. Maybe not.



Will be very glad to go to sleep in an hour and a half!



thank you everyone who sponsored or even just tried to keep me awake!

Seven Seven Seven Seven

let's sing a song of seven....



how many is seven.....



Seven hours since Midnight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



(I am truly silly now, I'm singing old sesame street songs)



This journal has officially gone over the edge of reason.....please ignore any further postings until blogathon is over when things will return to normal



If you are reading this and are sympathetic for how tired and truly messed up I now am.....please click the button on the right and sponsor me.



because that's why I'm torturing myself!

ding dong



time to post....needing more chocolate.



after this post...will have to go raid frig



No one said this 24 hours would be easy OR healthy!



Only 5 more postings to go!!!!!!!

I have used my time so wisely this last 30 minutes (cough cough rationalize rationalize)



I have been doing typing tests...because typing quickly is really important when you do not have a clerical job, but make glass beads for a living.



Here is the URL for the typing test just in case you're bored when you have to stay up all night for charity...



Typing Test to Kill Time when you have other things to do or if you have to stay up all night



coffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

(she says like a person in a desert movie, crawling desperately searching for water...but in this case cofffee)

making myself laugh seems to be helping with staying awake....



qvc is doing the trick too...not sure why, but the fact that there is no END and no beginning helps...shows never end, so there is no tracking time



right now my cat Macy is sitting on my lap, on top of the laptop.



Macy is not a small kitty...she is a very robust and fluffy kitty



I cannot see what I am typing....hope this even says something not grjekltjkl;eak or something like that



anyways...humorous thing of the moment.... MikWright cards.



Many are very offensive to sensitive viewers, but most make me crack up!



Here's a linky link...



Mik Wright Cards



off to busy myself until 6....6!!!!!! that's when Starbucks opens!!!! (not that i can actually GO there, but i can dream!!!

good morning all...



it's 5:00...do you know where your blogathon sponsors are?



They're in bed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm doing all the work :)

Next year, someone remind me....the money comes from the people who get to SLEEP! I can do that really well!!!!



Spent the last 30 min. shopping online and surfing again.



what happened to my plan to get all these things done while I stayed up all night???? not happening.



it's almost time for starbucks to open

here i am....wooo hooo over here!



I am truly silly now. So tired that I'm not even making sense to myself. Do you think this is what the blogathon people wanted? For people worldwide to pick one day and totally humiliate the bloggers participating by forcing them to have sub-conscious non-coherent babble on the blogs for one day???



I will be archiving this collection very very quickly..



Had thought of the following topics for discussion...



Refrigerator Magnets...why?



forgot the other one, though at the time it seemed life changing!



happy little dingie thing just rang to tell me "time to post" et voila

here we are again...



same bat time...same bat channel....same bat clueless

my little alarm dingy is not dinging as loudly as it should be.....



need to fix that...yes, am snoozing from time to time...is that cheating/?



i am still posting!

3:00...



I haven't been awake this late in a LONG time.



All nighters used to be a regular in my vocabulary....when i was overworking myself and causing myself to cross over the fragile line that is sanity.





Oooooh that's too much thinking....."cut off that light" turn on QVC....divert any depth here.



very tired, as I'm sure all blogathonners are.

I'm still here



I have resorted to T.V. to keep me company



I'm bored



I need to do work, and this is an excellent time, but I'm just not feeling very productive



not a happy happy journal entry. :(



Need a new theme song.....



"who can turn the world on with her smile....." "you're gonna make it after all!" do do do do doooooooooot! (throw the hat)
