I didn’t make it. I went to bed at 5:30am at least. Sigh.

I was hoping that public shame would help me out, and it did a little, but not enough!!!

I don’t think it’s that I really have “insomnia,” it’s just that even if I wake up at 7:30am, I can still be awake and feeling like I want to be productive until 4 or 5am, and then I just wake up late again the next day. I think what I lack is determination? I dunno. Trying again tonight. Because on Thursday morning I have to be ready by 7:30 am to entertain the plumber….

On and off this week, I’ve been setting up the lights and snapping pics of product for ShanaLogic.com. Here are a few of my personal favs. I don’t know if they will be used or not, but I sent off a bunch. You already saw some of Hairy’s ………. and I also shot some of my BFF Manda in hats, because, I LOOK TERRIBLE IN HATS!! Or, conversely, I make hats look terrible. Thank god Manda has a normal-shaped head!!!!

I KNOW. I know. I know that everyone wakes up early to be at work a 9am (or earlier) and that being alive in the morning is a perfectly NORMAL and DO-ABLE phenomenon.

However, I have the tendency to work until, like, 4 or 5 in the morning, which makes a 9am work-time the next day to be, simply, impossible at this age!

I would really like to shift my schedule back to something a bit more … diurnal, rather than nocturnal. So I decided to follow my own oft-given advice: MAKE A LIST.

I am posting up my proposed schedule for tomorrow. It’s not too crazy. It’s just a start! Baby steps! Cross your fingers for me!!! I’ll probably be updating my progress on this to-do list on Twitter. I have to start by NOT going to bed at 5am tonight!

Help. I need help!

(Yes, that is Martha Stewart in the background talking to some fella named Q-Tip? Yeah, I dunno. I’m not very cool and don’t know who that is.)

Today’s Round Up is thanks to a friendly tweet! She showed me this link, and I was sooo delighted because the only place I’d seen this stuff before was in London, and I never knew where else you could buy it! Now I can go crazy!! Except I’m trying to not spend money right now, so posting it up will have to do instead. So all this stuff is from Pylones USA.

1. Soap Dispenser
2. Chopsticks (I already have two pairs of these in an ivory color and they are AWESOME!!! I’ve had them for years.)
3. 7 in 1 pencil
4. Sugar Shaker
5. Hot Dog Pen (Food pens bring me back to highschool. I had all sorts of funky and food-shaped pens to take notes in class! I also had a hypodermic needle pencil that grossed out one of the cool girls named Allison and I loved grossing her out.)
6. Frog Watering Can
7. Elephant Cell Phone Charm
8. Corn Pen

This weekend, Hairy and I ate dinner with Oliver & Esther and some of their friends at Radio Africa & Kitchen which was actually really yummy. During the day it’s Coffee Bar, and then I believe it turns into an Ethiopian-ish restaurant only on certain nights. I would suggest going with one other person and splitting all the appetizers for $25 with each other. Tasty and will fill you up! Although the lamb we had was also really good.

Before dinner, we popped into Edo Salon for our an art opening for our tattoo artist Holly Ellis who is also an amazing painter.

On Saturday, we drove down to Palo Alto to hang out with Manda. We randomly ended up eating at IHOP for dinner, and then caught Confessions of a Shopaholic, and then got donuts at Happy Donut after!!!!! I couldn’t think of a word to describe this adventure, and someone today said, “Sleepover. You guys basically had a sleepover party.”

So today, Hairy and I met up with my P.O. Rando and her friend to check out IndieMart. It was SOOOO PACKED in there!!! I came with NO money so I would not be tempted to buy anything. We got there a bit late, and P.O. Rando was hungry, so before Hairy and I went into Indie Mart, we all walked across the street to get a bite to eat, where we randomly ran into Michelle and her friend Antonio. I guess that’s what happens when you actually leave the house! And not just to go to the post office, the yarn store, or PETCO!!! We ate brunch at Eddie’s and then headed back to the mart. Hairy ate a Thai Tea cupcake, and we called it a day. Except, we also ate dinner with my pops down in Redwood City at a super spicy Chinese restaurant which was really yummy.

This weekend was so not productive, but I’m getting back in the saddle…starting….NOW!

P.S. If anyone has seen or made a cute sign to remind people to take their vitamins, let me know. I need one!
