I'm going to take the Sleep Challenge 2010 that Arianna Huffington and Cindi Lieve posted on the Huffington Post. That means getting 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep a night every night for month. I will start it tonight. The problem is that I'm totally one of those people who feels lazy if I sleep more that 5 hours and honestly, I can't stay asleep longer than that unless I've completely worn myself out during the day.
I am glad that it's only for a month but I'm already anxious about it because one of the things I realized is that 2 nights a week I will have to be in bed by 7pm! I wake up at 4am 2x a week because I'm still training for a 1/2 marathon on the 24th of Jan. 7pm! It's already making my head spin thinking about it. But maybe the early darkness will help. Supposedly I can lose weight this way..and I figure I can also save money because I won't be awake to do anything! LOL! Anyway, so now the challenge is on.
Let me just say also that last night I went out and had karaoke fun with my friends and am already sleep deprived so..it's nice that I read about this challenge today!!!
Anyone want to join in the fun? I would like to see if it does make a difference....

What a fun day I had! Here's a list:
- had breakfast with MisterJT and Tiffanybbrown
- Hopped on the Metro and saw the floats from the Rose Parade - Awesome!!! I gotta take my family to it, it's pretty flipping cool even with all that humanity and next time - kettle corn!
- Headed home
- decided to stop at Pasadena's King Taco because it's KING TACO! Have you been? It's the best food ever! And right off Memorial Parkway station
- got back on the Gold Line train
- got on the Red Line
- Got off at Hollywood and Vine and headed to Amoeba to spend a 5 year old gift certificate.
- Got laughed at when I asked if I could still use a 5 year old gift certificate
- Spotted cute music nerd in the record section - you know how you just keep running into each other because you are making the same circuit in the record section? yeah...He was cute but I couldn't see what kind of music he was buying...because you always have to check out what they are possibly going to purchase...you'd think I would have grown out of that but I can't help it..I'm curious!
- headed home and was sad that I didn't hear from Derrick J. because he, RAP, Jandy and RAP's family met up to watch that new Heath Ledger movie
- was about to walk one way then changed my mind
- AND THEN
- there they all were! having ice cream at Cookies and Cream on Vine!!!
- JOY!!!!
- hung out at Cookies and Cream and met new peeps, saw old peeps and had a good time. They have really good horchata ice cream by the way.
- Headed back to Amoeba
- and now..HOME!! and enjoying these goodies I bought
- The Pete Townsend album I bought is really good! It's called Rough Mix with Ronnie Lane. I never head of it but I thought Pete Townsend and an album from the 70s...that'll be good. the 80s..now that's hit and miss..you just never know but I kind of trust the 70s.
- Also, Mayer Hawthorn = SO GOOD! I pretty much love anything from Stones Throw and this is no exception.
- And anything by Paul Weller...
- My original mission was to buy some Buffalo Springfield. Over the last couple of years, I've really become fascinated by Neil Young. Did you know they re-released his first solo album on vinyl? I might have to get that but I think I'll try the library first. Ever since my day of Neil Young at SXSW forever ago I just really find him absolutely intriguing. Last night I watched an American Masters episode on him on PBS and that just reignited my interest in him. I think I'll really enjoy his early stuff...not sure about his 80s move to synth rock but who knows! And I did really like his Harvest Moon album. I swear, this probably means I'm officially old. Ok, wait! There is one thing I want to check out..his movie with Devo..now THAT would be amazing! OK! the music video with DEVO is on youTUBE! Here check it out!
since when is it okay for a man (or woman) to walk around in the mall with his finger in his brain, er, nose? #ewww
