As the moment approaches, I am just beside myself waiting for Michael to get himself here. It has been a long 6 weeks… longer for him than me, probably, but long nevertheless. In normal life, I would accept a sleep-off challenge from anyone – anytime – anywhere (except maybe Big Kathy), but yesterday, I tried to take a nap, and could only sleep for about an hour (I have been known to take 3 hour naps on the weekend lately). Then last night, I fell asleep with no problems, but woke up about 3:45 and could not fall back asleep! I even video-chatted with Kristin, Andy, and Charlie Nibbles, their new hamster (who will actually be called Mable, but pedigreed as above). I rolled around for a couple of hours, and finally got up and ate something. That helped… I got dozey and went back to bed and fell asleep an hour later. Of course now that it is time to get up I just want to stay in bed, but I am SO excited to see Michael that I know I can’t stay away from the airport. 3 more hours!!!!

A Polar Bear or Did Jen Smell Cookies In Her Pocket?

On a slightly more morbid note, whenever I see stuff like this, I always cheer for the zoo bear! If you go in the bear’s house, you should plan on being eaten, dummy. Go Zoo Bear!!!
