The past couple weeks have been a blur. What an experience! I've done more in the past week than I thought was humanly possible. I've also learned a few lessons:

• I don't do well on just a few hours sleep
• I'm quite good at elbowing for position on red carpets
• If you haven't eaten in 12 hours, Chile Limon Flavored Cheetos taste amazing
• Stilettos are over rated
• $55 for Friday night parking on South Beach doesn't include valet--only park and lock
• Cj Jeans by Cookie Johnson are my new favorite thing
• Super Bowl Week swag is the same as anytime else
• Interstate 95 Road Rangers really do exist
• Your car really won't run out of gas when the "miles to empty" meter reaches 0
• Kim Kardashian really is gorgeous
• Prescriptives 24 Hour Longwear Mascara will last for 26 hours
• a $10mill home on Miami Beach will only get you 8 bedrooms and 10 baths
• Wendy's Bacon & Blue burger is my next new favorite thing
• Always have an extra SD card on hand

That's all that I can think of now. What did you learn this week?

About a month ago, I was complaining that I wasn't sleeping well. Well, my tune has changed. Vacation helped my insomnia. I'm sleeping like a baby. In fact, I overslept for the first time in years.

I'm not sure if this is a blessing or a curse. But I'm going to let it flow as long as I can.

Ok, I just couldn't let this one slide. Today, July 27th, has been celebrated since the middle ages as "Natl Sleepy Head Day." On this day, the last person sleeping, in a household, is awaken by either being thrown in a lake or the sea, or having water thrown on him.

In one Finnish town, a local celebrity (usually a politician, writer, or businessman) is chosen to be thrown into the sea, as part of the celebration. No one know who it is until the ceremony. Crowds gather to watch.

Since I'm ALWAYS the FIRST person awake in my home, this is one that I would definitely LIKE to celebrate. Since my husband is usually the LAST person awake in my home, this is one that I will definitely NOT celebrate. Somehow, I don't think he would understand, especially since neither of us is Finnish. But, this is definitely someplace that I want to travel to, right around July 27th. I'm putting it on my bucket list now.

If this was celebrated in the United States, who would be likely to get wet, in your home? You? Spouse? Child? Pet?

When normal folks get tired, they crawl into bed and go to sleep. Why am I not normal? I'm both tired and sleepy this morning.

I didn't get to bed until very late last night. I fell asleep immediately. I was out like a light. And then I woke up. I'd only slept for about 3 hours. I was still tired, but the Sandman had moved on. No more sleep for me. And of course, my husband was snoring soundly. He never has problems sleeping.

I'm not any more stressed than usual. I didn't have caffeine late yesterday. What is going on? Is a good night's sleep too much to ask??

Has this ever happened to you? How do you get yourself back to sleep? Please help.
