Anything But Gray

Most everyone is aware that I am not a "normal" sleeper. Nothing majorly wrong, but I just don't sleep a lot of hours in a row. 6, on rare occasions 7, hours is the most I sleep at once. A lot of times I'll take a nap around 5ish, or whenever Zak gets home from work, so that I don't fall asleep at like 9pm or 10pm. Cause if I do that, then I'll be up at friggin' 3am and not be able to go back to sleep. I don't mind my sleeping "issues". I have always been like this, for as long as I can remember. I just don't require much sleep. I think it's a combination of things….genetics (my mom was always the same way….) and my personality. I'm just so afraid I'm gonna miss something….LOL Seriously….sleep is such an utter waste of time when there is life to be lived!! Who wants to waste time with their eyes closed?? Not me. Anyway….my morning time, I love. The quiet house, the knowing I won't be interrupted and I'm so much more creative in the morning….I just really, really love that time to myself.

So this morning I'm online and I"m going through one of my emails that I don't use very frequently. And Ceci im's me on gmail…..I am instantly psyched cause..well, cause it's Ceci!! LOL So we chat for a bit and it was a really good conversation!! It was such an "us" conversation….joking, a moment of seriousness, back to joking, taking a quiz on facebook together….it was the exact kind of Ceci and Joanna conversations that I really miss the most. And while I'm on the phone with her, my auntie comes over from my sister's (she came up from the cape to go to a memorial service with my sister) and gets a coffee and I'm sitting outside on the phone with Ceci and kind of talking to Auntie….then my mom comes outside! Whoo-hooo…!! So I go inside to finish the converstaion wtih Ceci and then go back out and chat with my mom and my auntie until my auntie gets up to leave. Then mom and I sit there for a few more minutes and chat and we get up to come back in the house. As we're walking in I realize it's still really early so I have plenty of time before anyone (Zak or the kids) gets up. Nice!

And that is about the most perfect morning I could ask for…..love it!!!
