I just could not for the life of me fall asleep last night! I kept staring at the ceiling, thinking baout an article I read once that said that if you haven't fallen asleep within 15 minutes you might as well get back up and do something else until you get tired again.
Not a chance.
Not even after I'd been lying awake for two and a half hour.
So finally I decided to use a trick I've had lots of success with in the past: daydreaming. The trick is to find something nice, yet slightly boring to daydream about. Nothing too exciting, just enough to keep a smile on your face and to fall asleep feeling content and happy . And since I've been watching a lot (!) of So You Think You Can Dance lately (I've downloaded season 2, and I'm also following the current season week by week), I decided I wanted to dance waltz (boring) with one of the guys from season 2 (nice). But who? Someone cute, sweet, nice, and a very good dancer. Oh yeah, Travis! So there I am dancing the Viennese waltz with Travis, looking deep into his gorgeous eyes... his dark, smoldering eyes... his intensity raising the temperature in the room, and I hear the audience going crazy with excitement, and.... suddenly I'm doing SALSA with Travis! Yes, the SALSA! And obvously we're amaaaaaazing at it, and the chemistry between us is is electric and... wait... now that the daydream is getting totally out of hand, I might as well dance with... Yay, it's Jose! Suddenly I'm doing the salsa with Jose from season 7, and wooooow, how good we are! And as we finish the dance and walk over to Cat Deeley (the show host) we get a standing ovation from the judges, but we can only see their not-worthy bows through the corner of our eyes as we keep looking at each other as if we'd suddenly tear each other's clothes off at any moment. Cat makes a flippant comment about the electricity between us, and.... There was really no point in trying to sleep anymore after that. I decided I might as well watch another episode....
I finally fell asleep about five this morning. Then at six thirty someone called me from the kindergarten and asked if I could work today... Oh the joys of being a grown-up!
Speaking of which, here's my favourite postsecret this week:
3 judgements:
Oh mai GAWD, that sounds exhausting!! Both the dancing and the not sleeping.
My fave this week is http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_a7jkcMVp5Vg/TEJYhNsy_GI/AAAAAAAAMfo/vX3aFXlYwx4/s1600/forget.jpg
Grrr that didn't work. The one about the cashier "forgetting" the price of items and charge less when poor people come through her till.
I know, I really liked that one, too :) But being the childish person that I am, I love receiving confirmation that other people my age are also in touch with their imagination and their... uhm... inner child :)
