i seem totally incapable of getting to bed before 1am.
i've tried. believe me, i've tried. i'll be in my pj's and the clock reads "11:00" and i'll think, "hey, it would be really nice to go to bed right now."
but then jon stewart comes on the TV and i'm rendered immobile (and drooling) for a half-hour.
then the next thing you know letterman is on.
all the while i'll be working on christmas presents, of course (crafty, crafty), being impressively productive, but then suddenly it's 12:30 in the morning. what the...?!? every night i'm equally stunned when i realize how late it's gotten.
so then i'll get up and wash my face and brush my teeth... but these are sounds that trigger sherpa into a biscuit-making frenzy. she mews and stalks me --aggressively-- until i lie down. then she hops on my tummy and kneads and kneads and kneads... sometimes for 20 minutes. (she's an expert biscuit-maker.)
so, next thing you know it's 1am.
or sometimes it's 2am --as it was last night-- if i'm stressed out about the fact that i'm leaving for colorado in 5 days. i'll lie there and create to-do lists in my mind. i'll also read, trying to distract myself into sleep. and finally i drift off.
but then the alarm goes off at 8am, and i'll do it all over again.

Posted by: blackbird at December 16, 2004 11:12 AMAlarm goes off at 8am? Wow, that would be heavenly. Mine goes off at 5:30. So I should probably go to bed at, like, 9. Yeah, right.
As for Jon Stewart and Letterman and the Scottish guy, I have one word: TiVo!!
