Meet Dan Sexton

January 18th, 2006 / Categories: Moose Nuggets / 3 Comments »

Today’s Neighbor column is now online. The link is under “Moosin Around.” I wish you could have seen the gorgemous (tis too a word!) gems he shared with me. Sigh.

Nah – I’m not much of a jewelry person. But, oh, it was loverly stuff, it was. And, did you know???? Garnets come in EVERY color – except blue??? I did NOT know that. Until I met Dan. Why does this interest me so much you might ask? Well, because the moosie’s birthstone is garnet. 😉

Before I close off here – two things:

1. thanks to my designing daughter for giving back the moose! Paul at Chasing Dragons said he missed them and too-dah! There they were again. Thanks, Paul – and thanks, Lessa!!!

2. Continuing on with the giving thanks of the moment – thanks to those who commented concerning my tiredness yesterday. I went to bed at 9:30 and slept a wonderfully good sleep. Felt MUCH better today.

Will be heading to bed early again tonight – Ladybug needs me in the morning – one of the little guys has an early appointment, so I will be spending the morning with getting the other two off to school and then settling in with the littlest for a morning of Nana time. yay!!!!

Tired

January 17th, 2006 / Categories: Moose Nuggets / 5 Comments »

I am sitting here so that I will not sit in my chair in front of the tube.

I am sitting here because if I sit there I will fall asleep. I am that tired. It’s all because I could not sleep last night – I tried, I really did, but I just could NOT get my mind to shut up long enough for my eyes to shut and stay that way.

So, I got up quietly, pulled the bedroom door closed and went to sit in my chair – where normally I can sit for two seconds and be out like a light. Not last night/this morning. Nosireebob! I sat there until about 1:30 this morning – did some reading – thought maybe that would quiet down the whatevers keeping me up. But even that didn’t help.

Finally gave in and went to lie down – only to be awakened the next minute (well, it felt like it) by the alarm. Up at 5:30 to ride the stationary bike – 12 miles this morning. Then, out the door for my day – which had its own ups and downs.

but I am sitting here instead of in there because toNIGHT I feel like I could sleep standing up. Not gonna try that, I’m not. Instead, I will stay here for a bit longer until it is a whole lot closer to a normal bedtime. Then I have a feeling I will be able to sleep a dreamless sleep.

at least I sure hope so.

hope you all do the same.
