You Know You Need Sleep When…

…you go to bed but can’t fall asleep. It’s like your body is telling you “you should have come to bed earlier when you originally started feeling tired. Instead, you took advantage of me and I’m going to make you lay awake until I’m damn well and ready.”

That was me last night. I went to bed before Randy and found myself just lying there…thinking. When I finally did fall asleep, I had the most peculiar dream of visiting Randy’s brother again. His wife kept baking cookies for me (yum), but when I was alone with is brother for a few minutes, he said he wanted to ask me a question.

The question? Was I born a woman! He said that I speak so much with my hands that he thought I might be transgender.

Why couldn’t he have just assumed I was Italian? Not that there’s anything wrong with being transgender, but at least the Italians have cannoli.

    Well, answer the question. Were you? 😉

    Italian? Nope, I’ve never been Italian.
