why sleep is unimportant

so I was just going to come and write something random until I read what Cayla posted down below.. now I feel like I have to say something useful. My first useful comment will be don't listen to Noah and the Whale unless you most definitely have to. I would stick to just reading the lyrics unless you're backpacking through the back mountains of some random state that people avoid because most of the citizens don't have any teeth. that's a little harsh actually, I just got carried away with the example. I guess Cayla's just going back to her roots.

anyways, before I read Cayla's inspirational little passage, I was getting ready for bed thinking about how I didn't want to go to sleep. see, I have to go to sleep relatively soon because I have to be at work tomorrow morning at 6:45, but right now I can think of a million other things I'd rather do then lie motionless under blankets with my eyes closed. so many things have been happening in my life that I feel like I'm wasting time when I go to sleep. my to-do list keeps growing longer, as does the List on the side of our page. I don't have time to sleep?! how am I going to fly in a hot air balloon, visit all 7 wonders of the world, and date a guy with a mustache if I'm spending my time with my head on a pillow waiting for the alarm clock to go off? here's the plan: tackle to List, do everything else in the world, sleep when I'm dead.

speaking of, every single day this semester is being closer to ending (TEN more school days), which brings me closer to next year, which in the long run just brings me closer to graduating in general. the part where this gets complicated is that I still have no idea what I'm going to do. It's not that I don't have any idea of what I'd like to spend my life doing, it's just that I want to do EVERYTHING. Why can't I be a rock star, and a lawyer, work for ground control at NASA, and a full time mom? Obviously that can't happen, but I want it anyways. I need time in my life to travel the world, climb mountains, paint pictures, cure cancer, save the whales, raise a family, and still be able to relax.  I just need to be Barbie.

she can do EVERYTHING.

obviously, Cayla and I are slightly inspired. hopefully we can start crossing things off our list a little more quickly, that way we can keep adding more and more to it. YAY for living life. 

also, here's a little sneak peak of what is highly possible in my future for this summer:

HOORAY. where are my sperrys?

cheers,
