I’ve had a pretty rough past two days and I really needed a pick-me-up.  And I got one.  Eli Stone has been renewed!!!!  Yippee!!  :Singing:  I’m so excited/and I just can’t hide it.  Maybe the Kristen-loves-a-new-series-so-it-is-cancelled-after-its’-first-season curse is over.  Wh00t!

Civilization IV is addictive.  Robin and I have finished one game and played another in the past 18 hours.  And I want to play again.  We can’t because we are going to Newton today, but, boy, oh boy, if we just could…

I don’t understand the obsession at all - I never win.  When Robin and I play against each other, I always lose.  I’ve recently started playing on a lower difficulty than Robin and the computers.  Nothing.  I SUCK at this game.  Why oh why do I play?  One of these days I’ll cream him.  :idea: That’s probably where the obsession comes from - Civ IV is the only game we regularly play that I have never won against him. 

I wonder, if I ever win, will the obsession go away?

Silly Kristen. 

 Yesterday, Robin and I had a date - we made burgers and cheese tots and rented the 3rd Pirates of the Caribbean movie.  I wanted sweet tea with dinner.  Milo’s makes a really good tea sweetened with Splenda.  For some odd reason, I also thought it was decaf.  Nope.  And I drank two really big glasses after 8pm.  I usually stop drinking caffeine after 6p because it keeps me up. 

I finally turned my lamp off at 3:30 this morning.  At 6:30, my alarm clock started going off - Robin and I have been going to the 8:30 service at a church.  I didn’t get up until 7:30 but we made it to church before the choir went in - unlike last week.

I’m going to have to start diligently looking for caffeine in anything I imbibe after 6 - I do not do well on 3 hours of sleep (’cause you really don’t get good sleep when you have to roll over every 9 minutes to get your alarm clock to shut up!)  And it made it so much easier for Robin to get me to laugh in Sunday school - he’s a punk and likes to make me laugh in inappropriate places and wears a straight face so no one knows it is him.  This time it was “Jesus says “ARRRR!”"

Today I got home around 4:30 and decided to take a little nap before Robin got home.  Well, Robin got home and I was still asleep.  He came into the bedroom, but I was so out of it, I didn’t get up.  He came back about 6:15 to let me know it was almost time for the guys to come over (Robin DMs a campaign every other Thursday at the house - I used to be in it, but work got crazy and I had to drop out.)

My plan had been to take a quick nap and then finish cleaning the kitchen - maybe bake a cake - before the guys got here.  I finally stumbled out of bed close to 6:30, still completely out of it.  When Reid and Leonard got here, I was sitting on the couch, kinda dazed.  I’m afraid I might have looked stoned.  I’ve tried to wake up, drank a lot of Diet Rite, ate supper, read, played Civ, but nothing has worked.  So I’m going back to bed.  I must be more tired than I thought.
