Blogs before bed #4.

1:28 a.m. Interesting night.

I'm eating a leftover cold blueberry/rasberry pancake that I made with Amanda last night at midnight. There's nothing like midnight pancakes. The idea popped in our heads a few nights ago, and it was a nice little snack last night. The down side was that we learned the hard way how hot my stove gets and burned a few of them to the point of crispiness, but it all worked out. I did have to take the smoke detector off the ceiling to prevent it from going off though. Safety first, right?

Anyway, the cakes were (and still are) money, and it settled our craving for the time being. I'm telling you, we get weird cravings from time to time. Well, not necessarily WEIRD, but SIMILAR. These cravings usually come in the form of breakfast of some kind, like eggs during random hours of the day and night. Or bacon. Popcorn is also a pretty common non-breakfast craving we'll get into. We've definitely knocked out our fair-share of Orville Redenbacker over the last several months. Mmmm, latenight food. Sherbert is a good one too.

Today was long but short. Slept in a bit after staying up pretty late last night and made it to lunch at Sticks with Amanda before she had to go to work. Got home after that and got slapped in the face with the idea that I had stayed up pretty late last night, so I napped until about 6, only to wake up and go BACK to Sticks for work in our new 7:00 shift time. Made a whopping...hang on a sec, gotta count...ok...a whopping $30 at dinner, and ate our sandwich special when I got off. So to sum it up, today was: two meals at Sticks, three hours of work, and 30 bucks in my pocket. The plus of this equation was lunch.

Caught up with Plumlee for a bit after everything, though, which was good because he'd been working at camp all summer. Always good catching up with friends.

Blarrrrgh, but now I'm running outta things to say. I'm bummed that I'm this far into this thing and I don't have a single witty analogy for you. What's up with that?

Couple of things to look forward to in the near future though:
-O.A.R. on Sunday: Can't wait for my 7th show, AND to see them in Cary again, WITH Amanda. Also very psyched to see Daniel and Sara, my Mayer friends from the NC Coast!
-RD rolling to NC: That's right. Ryan is coming to visit next weekend. My brotha. Haven't seen him in over a year, so it'll be cool catching up with ANOTHER friend.
-Labor Day Weekend: Long weekend, with more meaning in it than I've ever had before. Very happy and excited about this.

Until then though, sleeeeeeeeeeeep well. I just let this one sit after an hour-long phone convo, so it's now 2:37. Definitely a "Blog before bed" tonight. Time to hit the pillow.
