Whelp, I jinxed myself. After bragging about how much sleep I’ve been getting lately, I hardly slept last night. I hopped into bed around 9PM, read some blogs, watched House Hunters, and fell asleep around 11. At 2:30AM I shot out of bed in pain, my stomach was not happy, and once I woke up I was wide awake. I laid in bed for about an hour before giving up and headed out to the family room to watch the news about Nemo.
Surprisingly, today wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be with only 3 hours of sleep in my system. I definitely was functioning on autopilot, but I managed to get through the day… Drove to work, attended a luncheon, went back to work, drove home, and plopped myself onto the couch.
And after much frustration, I’ve given up on trying to get the links in my originally planned post for today to work, dang you WordPress. Sooo my Favorite Finds post will have to wait, in my draft box, for a later date, boo. Maybe another bite of these sweet ‘cakes will make this sour situation a bit sweeter… Night!
Question: How do you like your bananas? Green, yellow, or gold?
Question: Have you seen any good movies lately? I think that sounds like the perfect thing to do tomorrow afternoon…

I hate when I can’t sleep at night. Maybe you were just fully caught up on sleep and your body didn’t need any more? Sometimes that happens to me. Hopefully you get a full night sleep today and your stomach goes back to normal!!!! If you haven’t seen Pitch Perfect that needs to be your number 1 priority!
Thanks for the acaAWESOME suggestion
As strange as it may sound, I feel like I function so much better on little to no sleep. It’s crazy how your body just kind of goes with the flow… sometimes, Ha! Have fun this weekend. I’m not sure what movies you’ve seen that are out, maybe silver linings, or django?
We saw Silver Linings Playbook and definitely recommend seeing it if you havent’t!
Pitch perfect!!! Just finished it so you need to too! And i only like bananas in bread haha…can’t stand them in their regular form
I second “Pitch Perfect”! It was really a cute, fun movie–better than I had expected. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Caitlin – they definitely are the best in bread form
And thank you both for the acaAWESOME recommendation!
I am sorry to hear that you weren’t feeling well, but I am sure that that sweet Charlie face made you smile. It sure makes me smile!
Oooo..another fun way to eat rice cakes. I am loving that idea!
Aw, thank you!
I was having issues with wordpress last night too, but this morning it was working fine…..made me late for work, though, trying to get my post up.
Love the look of the mashed banana on rice cakes. I’ll have to give it a try. If you haven’t seen Silver Linings Playbook, it’s really good.
Arg, well it makes me feel a bit better [and probably for you too] knowing that it wasn’t only me that was having problems… And I agree about SLP, I thought it was fabulous!
Awwr sorry to hear about the lack of sleep, hun
My stomach has been acting a bit wonky lately too, but not to the point where it keeps me up at night. I really hope you get things figured out soon!
Bananas? Definitely gold… preferably with little brown spots
Thank you and I hope the same for you too!
ugh, I just wouldn’t have made it through at all on three hours. more power to you, but closer to seeing you! also please note this comment was written at 243 am because I randomly woke up… yuck our lives
I hope you immediately went back to sleep after posting this!
I had trouble sleeping on Thursday night too! I woke up at 3:30 am and got up to read for a while before I finally went back to bed at 4:30. I was a zombie yesterday! I hope you got a better sleep last night.
I third Caitlin’s Pitch Perfect recommendation – I really liked it!
Was it a full moon? Cause it seems like a bunch of us were up at the crack of dawn on Friday… If I had known I would have suggested a Tweet-up
Bananas absolutely have to be yellow with brown spots – I cannot do underripe bananas!
And I keep hearing amazing things about Pitch Perfect. I think I’m going to watch it tonight, actually!
I agree 100%! I cannot eat bananas that are slightly green… The little freckles are the best indicator IMO
As much as being up early peeved you to bits, I was super grateful to have someone to chat with on my ride in to work.
Hope you get to catch up on your missed hours this weekend.
I completely agree and appreciate your company
Shall we plan for another time this week?
Hope you got more sleep last night! That is no fun! We were actually up from 2:30 – 4:30 with our son who has a cold. Not fun
My bananas have to be the perfect ripeness. Not green, not too ripe, just right!
Oh no, I hope he feels better soon!
sorry about the links! Love that you put chocolate chips on top of those lil cake things
Dark chocolate chips are great alone, but even better when on top of banana
I hope you feel better! I want to make the banana on the rice cake! I’m stealing the idea… Next week I am doing a post on the infinite amount of rice cake toppers
Thanks for the idea!
Definitely do it, it’s delic! I’ve been meaning to do a rice cake toppings post too
There are so many different options!
Ooo I had the best banana this morning. It was so yellow and had lots of brown freckles but not brown spots. You know what I mean? I had it with plain Cho and it was PERFECT. Like I want another one now haha.
I am so sorry you aren’t sleeping well now! I hope that you sleep well tonight – silver lining to a bad night of sleep right?
Thanks girl! And definitely, there is always a silver lining
Your pup is SOOOO cute! Enjoy your lazy night with your loves girl! <3
Thank you, thank you!
Ugh, that sounds horrible! I’ve been having sleeping problems lately, too. I think it’s stress that’s keeping me up, and also some weird scheduling issues. Nothing I do seems to work!
Boo, that’s not fair… I hope you get back on schedule soon!
Just found your blog.. cute
what are your little sweet cakes?
Hey! Thanks for reading
They were rice cakes topped with mashed banana + dark chocolate chips!
I HATEEEE when I can’t sleep!! It’s the worst!! I like my bananas yellowww!! In the middle stage.
Isn’t it? I’m hoping that it doesn’t become a regular thing…
I hate when I go to bed early only to wake up in the middle of the night. Sorry to hear about that. I can’t even imagine how frustrated you must be. Here is to hoping for a few better nights rest.
I know, right? You think you’re gonna get a great sleep and then… Bam, you’re awake. Lame!
Sometimes I feel I function best with little sleep. Working and blogging full time leaves me with little time to get a good night’s sleep trying to play catch up on everything after I get home from the office. I’m usually up super late and wake up early to work out. I feel best during the week on that routine! Then the weekend comes and I get to sleep in… and then feel out of whack! PS: your doggie is such a cutie!!
Woah, you go girl- more power to you! I used to love working out in the morning but lately I’ve been opting for sleeping over sweating
And thank you!
Yellow-gold. I can’t stand them green. I like them just a little over-ripe, when they are just starting to brown a little. Love ‘em a little mushy!
