dear ambien, i miss you. of all the medication i have had to intake over the last two months, you, ambien, are my favorite. in fact, i don't miss any others. (well maybe here and there a dose of delauded would ease reality). you are pricey and that upsets me especially b/c your fake model is not up to par. so i split each tiny pill to feel better about my purchase and my tee tiny love for you. it's so small but affects so great. i take my tiny half and one, two, kiss goodnight b/c i am ou.... 6 hours later, not groggy but happy and ready, i am up and at um. ah, the silver lining of illness, good sleep. speaking of silver linings i am wondering if a lil experiment would be to try to think of them when facing adversity. i wonder if i tried to think of them if it could offer perspective. for example, sometimes work isn't perfect but hello, i have a job. thank the Lord. so i am inspired back to my love lists. 1. target diapers. love may be a strong word, but listen, they work totally fine and are AT LEAST $6 per package less than Pampers.and they have polka-dots on them. duh, make the move. 2. ambien. am i being reptitive? 3. HOUSE season premiere this week. So, so good, i have actually thought of it each day since i watched it. 4. football season - competition, beer, chips, delish dips and talking back at the TV - best season EVER. War Eagle, Go Panthers (seriously, please go... need silver lining here!), and as always Go Tarheels! 5. my neighborhood. i love love living close to so many dear people who provide playmates for my daughter, meals for my family, open doors for me to drop in (vice versa, come over), and just simple day to day friendship. have a great weekend all!
