thoughts in the wee hours

1) stayed up waaaaay too late last night. you know that nauseous feeling you get when you haven't gotten enough sleep?
2) what was i doing? wasting my time watching the re-caps of the oscars since i missed them. which brings me to thought #3.
3) did anyone else watch lisa rinna (the collagen-filled dancing w/ the stars alumni) & joey fatone (formerly w/ 'n sync) make total idiots out of themselves? i lost brain cells watching lisa fumble around while she completely embarrassed herself in front of amy adams. she kept saying "i am sooooo fired." and i thought to myself, "she had better be. and fire her plastic surgeon right along with her." it was painful.
4) it is weird having ben gone. (at a funeral for his aunt) i am so used to having him with me that this big empty house feels even bigger and emptier than it normally does when the kids leave for school. can't wait until he's home tonight.
5) i had the unwelcome pleasure of watching ernest pick his nose in front of me this morning. straight up. showed no shame. what am i supposed to do with that?
6) why can't fantastia zip and unzip her own jacket? could i dress myself when i was 11? and a better question...why do i keep enabling her?
7) there is a smell permeating from underneath carrot top's door and i am horrified to try to figure out what it is. i will wait until ben gets back. :)
8) ahhhhhh. a cup of hot chocolate in the morning. bad for the buns, great for the soul.
