insomnia

For some lame reason, I can't seem to fall asleep before 3am. It's been like this for weeks now, and I'm reaping the inevitable consequences. Sleeping in until noon. A zombie-like experience during the daytime hours. Watching pathetic shows on TV. Eating things i don't even want - like banana popsicles from Wal-Mart. Why? Why? WHY!?

Speaking of TV, tonight, as i watched last night's episode of project runway, i was actually inspired. inspired to make my own clothes. i've made beanies, scarves, purses, jewelry, and even "edited", if you will, some random clothing items (i.e. cutting off sleeves of shortening pants) in both my recent and extended past, but i have never really ventured into actually constructing my own apparel (except for two summers ago, when i took a sewing class at Joann's Fabrics and made a dress), so tonight i tried to give it a shot. and although the two items i worked on came out...definitely unique...i definitely need some practice and, you know, maybe a sewing machine instead of a yarn needle and scissors.

this next week i am going to be traveling to mammoth with my family, and two other families, to an RV park, i do believe. i'm really looking forward to time away from the TV, time better spent with actual people.

if you haven't seen "Into the Wild", do it now!
