Incoming ! Incoming ! Diva is Down ! Repeat Diva is Down!
I've been sick this past week . It's either a head cold, sinus infection or pain from work related stress. At least that is what webmd told me when I did my symptom checker. Sometimes i really like that site and other times it's really frustrating. Like when you feel a little ill and don't want to go to the doctor or you have to wait a few days before your appointment ,you may go on the site to see how to treat yourself at home or to see if you even need to go to the doctor. But the bad thing about that is after you tell the site what your symptoms are you either have the flu or diabetes. That is a huge range! So you begin to freak out that you may have a disease but you don't want to tell anyone because you might just have the flu and everyone thinks your idiot. Anyway, being sick slows me down, Not only do I have a bunch a work piled on my desk now but I also have to catch up on my to do lists for the month. What also makes me mad is that i took a flu shot earlier this month to prevent all of this! What did the nurse do ? Shoot my with sugar water because I wouldn't know the difference? I tried to leave the house yesterday because I missed seeing the natural light and almost puked at Walgreen's. Today I didn't leave the house at all. I slept all day long and I'm about to sleep again , hoping that when I awake good ole Diva will rise again.

Just 5 more minutes please!
Can't sleep...Want to sleep... Need to sleep... Must sleep!
Insomnia , oh the torture! For the past few weeks , i have been having sleeping problems. I either fall asleep at a decent hour and wake up at 3am or lay restless until 3am or (the worst combination) lay restless until 2am , sleep for 3 hours and wake up at 5:30am, can't fall back asleep until 6:30am and then drag myself out of bed to get up for work at 7:30am.
I couldn't take it anymore, I was begining to be late for work and other commitments due to the of a lack of sleep. So I began to research over the counter sleeping pills. Read about a couple and made a trip to Walgreen's. I was trying to figure out what brand of pills to buy when I saw this brand called Sominex. On the box it says" Wake up refreshed from a restful sleep" Perfect I thought, I will get a good night sleep , wake up on time and be ready to go.
That night I was excited , ready to get some sleep . Took one 25 mg pill and was knock out. That morning I woke up and felt a little tired but at least I slept the whole night. An hour later I was still feeling tired so took a shot of some caffeine. 3 hours later I was in some type of drunken stupor of grogginess. I just couldn't wake up all the way , my vision was slightly burry. I began to worry and started to research the side affects and personal experiences of this medication. When I read " Next day drowsiness , blurred vision , etc" I started to panic. So that night I finally woke up from my drowsiness but it was 11:30pm. Time to go to bed. I was afraid to take the pill but I desperately wanted to go to sleep , so I took half a pill and hoped for the best. It took much longer to fall asleep that night but I woke up the next morning without a drowsy hangover. It has been fine ever since. I want to be able to sleep without pills though.
So I'm asking my readers , what do you do when you can't sleep?

My obession with You Tube is growing
Sorry I haven't blogged in FOREVER!!!!!!! , A lot of stiff going on , but i promise I will put up blogs much more often.
I was watching this cartoon called the Boondocks the other day on You Tube (which I have slowly become addicted to ). I noticed that i don't even watch regular T.V. anymore. First of all there is barely anything I like on T.V, but when I know there is something coming on and I probably won't be at home , I can just catch it on You Tube. I have also started watching T.V shows on network websites , like NBC.com. Why? Don't know, is my attention span so short that I can't sit through a round of 30 sec commercials or that it has become such an inconvenience for me to have to be home at sit in front of my TV at certain time of the day just for entertainment? Why do that when I can watch the same episode at 11pm from my computer when I have time and actually feel like watching TV. I have noticed that I do watch T.V in the morning while getting dress for work. I put on the Today show , so I know what is going on in the world and start my day. Other than that my T.V pretty much stays off.
So to prove my point , i have posted the famous " I got a crush on Obama" song from You Tube. It's just a funny homemade music video that made headlines on CNN , MSN , Jay Leno , etc. How did I know that? I read about on yahoo.com news.
Anyway that is my rant for the day.
P.S if you want to watch the vid i would pick the first or second one. For some reason google ads other vids that i didn't even pick. Oh well , everything can't be perfect.

The Devil Wears a Wedding Gown
Okay so have you ever watched the movie" The Devil Wears Prada"? Well I work for the real one at this bridal and formal dress boutique. At first she fools you ,making you think she's this sweet nice old lady but I'm telling you she is the devil in disguise.
For example, I put together 3 tuxedos for a local fashion show. I literally built each suit. Choose three different types of coats , three funky colored vests, found some stylish shirts and pants that fit the models that I personally measured. I then steamed and pressed the suits and finally shined the shoes until you could see your face in them.
Did that nasty old woman care? All she cared about was that one of the hangers that I put a pair of pants on was bent and little crooked. Gave me a ten minute lecture on how the bent hanger was an embarrassment to the store. She didn't care that I took on the responsibility of putting the outfits together without being asked or the time and effort that I put in.
So as she was ranting and raving about the stupid hanger i was thinking these 3 things:
1. Only the models would have seen the hanger.
2. I can't believe she is fussing over a stupid hanger.
3. The bent hanger is from your own store , it's not like I brought the hanger from home. If the hanger is such an embarrassment , buy some new hangers!!!!!
So this week I found a clip from the movie " A devil wears Prada" where the character played by Anne Hathaway is trying so hard to please her boss but doesn't matter. Why because her boss is a word that rhymes with itch. Something i can totally identify with.
