I think we should get a new hot guy for the button every season - who's with me?
Sometimes, when I see a picture (or GIF) and it's upside down, like this one:
I flip my laptop around so I can see it better. Yep. And if it's a computer, I flip my head around.
When I was younger, I had the biggest crush on Howard Keel. Loved this man for as long as I could remember. I was obsessed with Calamity Jane and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. He died almost 10 years ago.
Moving on.
Remember how I said I had to go back to work on Monday after arriving on Sunday? Well shit did not go to plan, meaning I am older than I remember and can't hang like I used to, even when 'hanging' constitutes of sitting in uncomfortable ass planes for 24 hours. Plus I had a cold. So I called my boss Monday morning, and thank goodness for the awesomeness that he is and he didn't mind me not coming in. If I had been less effed up, I would have realised calling in sick after a holiday is really stupid, but I was all kinds of not good and my brain was mush.
So I slept until 2pm. Oops. Guess what time I went to sleep on Monday night?
Keep guessing.
I could not go to sleep. I tried. I moved from the bed to the couch, nothing. Finally I got up at 6am and thought eff this.
Right now its 4pm on Tuesday - I have been up for more than 24 hours and I am not feeling good. Stupid jetlag, stupid sleeping Kristen.
I am so tired today that I tried to use the mousepad on my keyboard at work. That is a desktop. There is no mousepad on the keyboard. I'm not even sure if this makes sense.
I have the hiccups. I hate the hiccups. I sound like a tiny toy dog (which I have been told numerous times) and they are so annoying.

Joe Nichols' song 'yeah' makes me irrationally mad. Like, it's all about agreeing with whatever the girl wants so you can get laid, we get it, however, this is why women start fights because you said you loved that song and you loved that drink, and a year later we play that song or make that drink and you're like ew no. Except you're a guy and don't say ew no. LIES, LIES, LIES.
I really like the song though, super catchy when it's not making me mad.
Anyone watch true blood? It's one of my guilty pleasures. I can't stop watching, it's like a train wreck that long ago left the books behind, and it's just random crazy now.
But Eric, I love you.

of course i care... but right now i care about sleep. |
Laters Taters.
to get your body back on track/reset, do what you normally do during the day and stay awake/go to bed and wake up at your regular times, even if you feel like death....the more you stick to your regular schedule, the faster your body will adapt. if you can, take melatonin at night so you can sleep through the night.
ReplyDeletewelcome back :)
thanks for linking up!

Hopefully you can catch up on sleep soon! Glad you're back though! Missed ya!
ReplyDeleteMissed YOU! These hump day confessions are always my favorite . . . I need to get in on the confesh sesh! I feel bad for you on the jet lag . . . it does get harder the older we get. Damn, sucks. So glad you're back!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh you are SO funny! Lack of sleep suits you, my friend. Welcome back! And thank you for my morning dose of Eric <3 <3
ReplyDeleteI love your confessions and I love the GIFs you use.. always makes my Wednesday :)
ReplyDeleteI love your no sleep confessions it's like the True Blood hot mess and it's perfect. I still watch it as well. Like honestly WTF is even going on anymore? I miss Eric! I'm honored you caught up on my posts with like an hour of sleep on board. I hope you get over the jet lag soon girl!
ReplyDeleteI cannot even imagine the jet lag. Hopefully, you'll get back on track soon.
ReplyDeleteYay your back... waiting on a vacation post! :)
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog because you make me seriously laugh. And I need some laughs in my life. :)
ReplyDeleteHope you caught up on your sleep. Oh, and that puppy looks just like my dog when he was a puppy. Cutest thing ever.
I used to watch True Blood, but I haven't seen the last two seasons. There is some major eye candy on that show, but my fave is also Eric.
ReplyDeleteHope that you get some rest!
This post is all kinds of awesomeness...partly because it makes absolutely no sense - and thats why I love it!! If you sound anything like that puppy then I would gladly hear you hiccup!! Get some sleep woman!! :)
ReplyDeleteOMG, is that a gif from Justified? Because that seriously made my day.
ReplyDeleteI love your posts. All of them. You make me laugh. And your gif usage is brilliant!
Back to resting for you! On a regular sleep track. Love that your boss was cool like that. After my honeymoon I was supposed to go back in the next day - ended up taking the rest of the week off - no problems (then again they couldn't have said anything anyway!). Hope you rested up last night!
ReplyDeleteSeven Brides for Seven Sisters is the best movie! I am so happy that I'm not the only one under the age of 85 who likes it. Great hump day confessions and I'm glad you're back so I can continue to laugh ever time I check out your blog.
ReplyDeleteThat travel sounds horrendous!!! WOOF! Glad you were able to take the day off for sure! xoxo
ReplyDeleteYou are the gif queen! While I'm sure your trip was awesome, I do not envy your jet lag and general tiredness. Hope you get some rest! :)
ReplyDeleteUgh I can only imagine how hard it is to get back on track! That puppy, so cute!
ReplyDeleteI really am so glad you're back. I was worried (because I'm selfish) that you weren't going to have any posts while you were gone. I was so glad that you did. I absolutely LOVE Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. I used to watch it all the time when I still lived at home. The "Yeah" rant made me laugh. It's so catchy that I love it & I never thought about it too deeply. You're correct though, the actual lyrics behind the long are ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteHahah this was golden. I do the same thing with sideways gifs!
ReplyDeleteHope you recover soon! Looking forward to hearing about the trip. That puppy is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThat picture of Eric! I have no words, haha! Ahhh so sorry you're so jetjagged, not being able to sleep makes you feel so awful! I hope you're semi-back on track now!
ReplyDeleteI was jet lagged from Vegas for a month - so I'd basically die if I traveled around the other side of the world!!! :(
ReplyDeleteJetlag sucks, I hate when my sleeping schedule's all messed up. I wish I could see True Blood, I really need to subscribe to HBO so I can get HBO Go. They have the best/worst shows.
ReplyDeleteI agree, there should be a new man button every week.
ReplyDeleteMMMMM Eric. I want a piece of that. Can we share? Seriously that man could do all the nasty vampire things he wanted to me. I understand not sleeping. I haven't been doing much of it either. I went to bed at 2 Sunday night and Monday night. Then 3 last night. And I get up early. If I even sleep good!
Yes, I still watch the crazy train wreck that is True Blood! Love Eric. Sigh. Hope you get back on a better sleep schedule!! That is the worst. When my hubs and I came back from Europe, I was sleeping normal the first night until he woke me up because HE couldn't sleep and he was bored. HOW rude?! haha.
ReplyDeleteUm....I was OB-sessed with Seven Brides for Seven Brothers when I was younger!! My friends and I would act out the different scenes. (we were the cool ones in class lol)
ReplyDeleteI have SO much catching up to do myself!! And I really think I need to start binging on True Blood. Here's to hoping it's on Netflix? Lol.
ReplyDeleteNot being able to fall asleep at night is the absolute worst. It's amazing how when you're trying to fall asleep time drags but when your snooze button is going off in the morning, time flies!
ReplyDeleteI love that song!! And the video is actually kind of cute. Welcome back by the way lady! Hope you get that jet lag thing gone pretty soon!
ReplyDeleteYou know why you had a crush on Howard Keel? Because he was a stone cold fox, that's why! You are not alone, I to had a crush on Wild Bill Hickok ;) I'm extremely tired too, I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing better than me with no sleep. I would be under my desk napping right now.
ReplyDeleteHey Kristen! I hate it when my sleep pattern is all thrown off! Its the worst... But at least your boss was kool about it and you didn't have to go in!! :) And welcome back girly!! XOXO
ReplyDeleteLisa,xo
oh woof on the sleep thing, isn't getting old such a bitch! I LOLed at the mouse thing though- definitely understandable.
ReplyDeleteOh nooooo get some sleep!! As for true blood I was such a fan in season one then it started to get creepy and I get scared quickly so I had to bow out like the scaredy cat I am. The men are gorgeous though!
ReplyDeleteAlso there is probably nothing worse than hiccups ugh!!
Now go get some sleep!
You have to regulate your sleeping times :( lack of sleep makes me a cray cray biaaaatch ;)
ReplyDeleteI love Calamity Jane!!!! And that is all I can say right now because all other thoughts are being eclipsed by my brain singing "I just got back from the windy city, the windy city is mighty pretty" and so on.
ReplyDeleteI've never experienced jet lag, but it doesn't sound fun at all. I hope your sleep schedule gets back on track soon! Love the Hermione gif :)
ReplyDeleteBefore I even kept reading, I turned my head upside down to look at the gif. I'm glad I'm not the only one !
ReplyDeleteI cant even imagine traveling for that long and then having to go to work the next day. Like, no thanks! Glad your boss was cool and you were able to have off! Even if you couldn't go to sleep :(
ReplyDeleteI have never watched True Blood, but I kept meaning to get in to it. Maybe I still will. Nothing like a good binge watch, right?!
The Peter Pan gif!!! JUST YES!
Awesome confessions! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYesss! Still watching True Blood, and I vote for Alcide for the next Humpday button! And it's awesome that your boss was cool with giving you Monday off- I hope you can finally catch up on some sleep!
ReplyDeleteI got behind and didnt even bother catching up just marked it all as read and started with today :P
ReplyDeleteHow awesome of your boss, and I hope you get some sleep tonight :)
Ughhhhhhhh jet lag suckkkkksssss!!! And so does not being able to sleep! That stresses me out to no end because I have one of those bodies that if I miss a few hours of sleep out of my normal schedule I can't function! Totally sucks! Oh and I totally do the head tilt if something is upsidedown! it's crazy how much clearer it is haha! And yessssss we all missed you sooooo!!!!!

hahaha I love that you admit your brain is mush! When I worked on-call doing overnight shifts in addition to my full-time day job I literally would just sit and stare at the wall from 8-10am and hope nobody needed anything,
ReplyDeleteTotally agree about the Yeah song! Drives me bananas. But it is SO CATCHY.
ReplyDeletei get hiccups all the time and i have no idea why. it is so annoying. good luck getting caught back up on your sleep
ReplyDeleteHaha, hilarious. I watch True Blood, too. It's totally crazy, but somehow I keep watching?
ReplyDeleteomg you poor tired thing! I feel for you. Hope you're getting back to normal today! That puppy is too cute I want to just squeeze my computer right now because AWWW! And I've never heard that song but I'm already full of rage just from your description, so I'm thinking it's a good thing I haven't heard it haha. And YES to True Blood, but I haven't watched Sunday's ep yet! I need to get on that.
ReplyDeleteso sorry you feel so bad! hope you are feeling better soon and oh. my. goodness...so many hot men!
ReplyDeleteDwight Schrute gif FTW
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're back but so sorry you feel awful! Ugh I am SO behind on True Blood it's not even funny!
ReplyDeleteI loooove your Wednesday confessions!! And do you know what else I loved as a kid? Seven Brides for Seven Brothers! Mainly the dancing and the fact that there was a bride named Dorcas. Now go get some sleep!!! *oh they say when you marry in June....**
ReplyDeleteGina -- On the Daily Express
I have totally tried to use my nonexistent touchpad on my work computer keyboard. I always feel like the biggest dufus. My hiccups make me sound like a donkey and they are OBNOXIOUSLY loud, so I mean, it could be worse...
ReplyDeleteOh Kristen you always crack me up babe. So where are you now with all the traveling? I haven't been caught up? And I hope you have at least been able to get some rest - I know first hand how jet lag fucks up EVERYTHING esp when in different time zones! And True Blood is crazy. This season will be wild. But Tara is not dead, no way. Eric is my dream man, I would drink his bath water. LOL. Love you!
ReplyDeleteLol! These confessions were AWESOME! I totally do the flip thing if something is upside down!
ReplyDeleteAnd I get the keyboard/mousepad thing. I've done it before too.
I don't blame you for needing to stay home after you got back! That is a hard ass adjustment to make!!
ReplyDeleteI literally LOL'd so hard reading this! I once tried to check my voicemail after returning to the office after a vacay by repeatedly hitting the speaker button (instead of the message button) to no avail until I eventually gave up and put my phone on "do not disturb" mode for the rest of the day.
ReplyDeleteI do love the song Yeah but I know what you mean. Mmmm Eric, so hot. Hope you finally get some sleep!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine running on no sleep for that long! I would die! :) I hope your body and mushy brain get back to normal in no time! When I was just off on vacation for 2 weeks I came back to a million unread bloglovin' newsfeed too... and I finally got to the point where I was like that gif... I doooon't caaaaare! Haha :)
