My NEW reason for sleep deprivation

I tried to put a picture up, but couldn't for some reason. My new reason for no sleep is The Sims! It's a video game that Jessie bought. You make up a person and then you basically live his or her life. Jessie and I built a house and bought furniture and you have to make sure they eat, shower, sleep, and so on. Its SO addictive. I rue the day we bought that Playstation. I always get a little nervous when I get so into a game an hour passes by and I don't even notice!

Well, at least last night I got a little exercise and fresh air. I took Becca home last night and she, Kim and I rode bikes around some neighborhoods in Aberdeen. I was the slowest member of our trio. I kept falling behind! Well, seeing as they weigh, like 40 or more pounds less than me, its not that big of a surprise. It was fun though, really fun, until we went down "Evil Dog Street". Oh man, all of a sudden there were dogs everywhere! I was really scared because they were barking viciously and they were running right at my feet! Then, as soon as we'd outrun a couple, there'd be more. Only two got REALLY close to me though. I uttered some words I don't normally utter, as I was a bit scared of getting bitten, but luckily we outran them, and I told Kim to please never take me down that street again! It was cool riding around at night though, the streets were dead; I think we saw two cars. It was an interesting new experience. (I NEVER ride around my neighborhood at night!)

Tomorrow's Kim's wedding day. Dum-dum-da-dum. I still haven't had a chance to pick out something to wear (or shave) but I plan to cram that, cleaning my house, exercising and eating a healthy dinner in tonight. haha We'll see, won't we?

Speaking of my house, it is a TOTAL disaster. It looks awful. Last night we ate supper at the table, but in the middle of the table was a pile of papers, books, and who knows what else. I was not pleased. On the couch is a pile of unfolded clothes. In the sink is a pile of stinky dishes. You get the picture. So I'm going to dive right in when I get home. It'll be fun! (I hope you were able to note the sarcasm in that).

I'm taking off work a couple of hours early because I have to pick Lily up from daycare today. That's a good thing, considering the shape my house is in. And all I need to do tonight. Why is it so hard to keep a house in order? I guess playing video games instead of cleaning might explain it. :P
