After that I flipped through a ridiculous number of infomercials. They're so cliche, but those of us who are up in the middle of the night watching them are in a very vulnerable state of mind, because all of that stuff looks good. I'm ready to buy real estate, have meals shipped to my home, and am strangely interested in a new all-natural arthritis medication (I don't even have arthritis). All of that on top of yearning for that rug doctor carpet cleaner, the Bare Minerals make-up set and every exercise contraption out there (even though I hate to exercise).
I finally felt ready for bed around 4:00am...NOT GOOD. I'm wasted and have a headache today. When will I learn? What a chump I am.
These are some of the cupcakes left over from Landon's birthday party last week. Whitney frosted these and they've been sitting on this plate since Friday. Yesterday when I woke up from my nap she told me "that cupcake sorta just fell apart by itself." Uh-huh, more of that spontaneous cupcake combustion that's been going around eh?
I had to get up and go visiting teaching this morning so I didn't sleep in late. After doing miscellaneous household duties and talking to Amie, I took Landon to Lucas' birthday party. Whitney and I ran some errands and drove all over Provo. We went to Great Harvest to buy a loaf of bread, so I was explaining to Whitney that they give you a free sample when you buy something there. She felt a rush of motivation for this errand and said, "yeah, let's go get a free zapple!" Too funny. (Whitney tends to walk behind me rather than next to me so no doubt something was lost in the translation.)
I got two great packages today. One is from Jenn's mom Georgia and one is from Jenn's sister Elizabeth, isn't that funny? Elizabeth sent me some cute stencils, some very cute sticky notes, and two kinds of ribbon. Thanks Elizabeth!
Georgia sent me a very nice note and a cd will all kind of audio books on it. I'm so excited to have a great stock pile and so many choices. Thanks Georgia!

oh you deserve that great mail! you good mail starter you!
love the photo of whitney. i do miss great hearvest bread samples and those yummy 350 calorie cookies they make that are supposed to be healthy.
those sunday naps can kill you! oh i know too well. luckily we have afternoon church so can't really take a nap, but come Jan, we will be back to family naps.
Napping until 7:00. Oh, I can't wait until my kids are older! Just be grateful that you aren't drinking Diet Coke anymore. You probably never would have gotten to sleep!
oh, I miss Great Harvest Bread!! I loved the stuff when I was going to college up there! I had almost forgotten about it.
I had to laugh about the infomercials! When I had just had Chelsey (and until she was about 6 months old) I would take her downstairs to nurse her around 4am so that I didn't wake Brandon up. I would get so caught up in the infomercials I would stay up watching them. Man, I wanted everything!! I was so ready to order Nutri System to help me lose weight! I did end up ordering excercise videos, a hair dryer (that I sent back) and some lipstick!! What a sucker I am, and good thing Chelsey stopped that feeding or I would be broke!
So, I guess I feel blessed that I don't get naps?!@#! You should head over to Michelle's and give her a break since Eva is up all night too!
Funny you got packages from my family! I got one from Elizabeth too, such a treat!! And I'd like to think if I had an ipod, my mom would send me audio books too. Shall we add you to our christmas exchange?
Bwahahaa! Spontaneous Cupcake Combustion....that is rich, I love it!
That happens at our house too but it is always at the hands of our friendly household ghost, Not Me! :P
It is so funny you get so hooked on the infomercials. I was once one of those people! My sister and I were both nursing babies at the same time and we would call each other to see if the other was watching what we wanted. The only difference is that she would buy everything and I would just watch.
My other sister did buy the Bare Essentials and she really likes it.
I was the recipient of some good mail this past weekend, what a treat it is!! I WISH I could stay up and get stuff done, I'm out cold by 10pm (I think part of it is the whole pregnant thing).
Hey, don't knock Bare Minerals until you've tried them! Michelle and I are hooked.
Jill,
I do the same thing, staying up way too late and then regret it the next day. I should be asleep right now, I have a conference tomorrow, but I am blogging like and idiot...
I love how the cupcake just fell apart. She is so funny!
I hope you get some rest tonight.
Jill, I know that wasted feeling of staying up all night too--oooh, we pay for it! And seem to watch infomercials too--but like you, only in the middle of the night. Its the makeup ones I can't stop watching--and I don't even wear that much makeup. Michelle, so that Bare Minerals is good? I have watched that one at least 20 times. I have also watched Suzanne Summers on QVC a number of times--kinda creepy, but I can't stop. CUTE pic of Whitney. And it is the exact feeling I remember when biting into that yummy bread!
Hey Denise, I'm not knocking Bare Essentials, I really want it. I bought a sample set from Ebay after Michelle talked about it (also because I'd seen the infomercial several times) and love it.
I so know how you feel- I have been nap free for almost 2 weeks now and sleeping a little better. Love the picture of Whitney- she is so funny.
I love that picture of Whitney with the bread. It's so great that you document these kinds of everyday things, and that you do it so very well.
I hate infomercials, I can't even imagine staying up to watch them!
I forgot to mention that spontaneous cupcake combustion happens at our house too! Hee.
Naps are the worst sometimes! I have seen a ton o infomericials at night and am right there with ya. Sometimes you can watch reruns of Jay or other shows though (not that you want to be watching tv at 2am)
Way to go on doing your VT. I still haven't done mine since May when the kids were in school (summer is my excuse)
I noticed Target has a mineral make-up made by L'Oreal for a fraction of the cost of others.
Count me as a member of the Club of Whacked-out Sleepers.
You get good mail, Jill, cuz you send good mail. You're welcome.
