Everyone knows it's Ju-uuules!

Not only have I been putting in more hours at my job, the place where I get PAID MONEY to work, but I've also been working really hard (possibly harder on anything I've ever worked on in my life) on THIS SPECIAL PROJECT for the past few months.

I usually don't get a lot of sleep but as they* say, shit's been ridiculous lately.

Running on an average of 4 hours of sleep per night for an extended period of time is not good for anybody. I am exhausted. I look exhausted. My sanity is hanging on by an extremely thin thread these days.

I haven't been this physically worn out since college, though back then it was for different reasons. Uh, HELLO, late night photo labs, Wednesday night quarter tappers on Main Street, parties, and even studying sometimes... but mostly make out seshes with the boyfriend.

You probably already know that I'm not a morning person, and to allude in any way, shape or form that I am will put my friends & family in hysterics.

Allow me to clarify: I'm not a JERK in the morning, I just don't want to hear your STUPID sing-songy, happy to be awake before sunrise, whistling-while-you-butter-your-toast, DUMB VOICE aimed in my direction before I've had a chance to wash the shame from the night before out of my hair, okay? Can we shake on that forever and ever? Thanks. I love you.

Now that we're on the same page, you'll really understand how much I want to hug, love, and squeeze this new 7Up commercial starring Brad Garrett:



I literally, for really-real, sing that whole thing to myself at some point every morning (in my head! I don't want to hear my own dumb voice that early, either!) as I fumble around getting ready for work after only grabbing a few hours worth of sleep.

The part that cracks me up the most is, "Who's reaching out to tickle a horsey? Everyone knows it's Bra-aaad!"

Tickle a horsey?! I want whoever wrote that commercial to marry me right now! I do, I do, and I do.


*By "they", I mean "me".
