Yes, folks, erin-go-blog is pulling her first all-nighter in, well, a very long time.

Why, you ask?

Because, at 3:30 am (EST), she is driving to BFE, po-dunk, middle-of-nowhere to an abbey where a bunch of trappist monks make bread. And they start the bread at 5 am.

Oy. I don’t get paid enough for this!

(speaking of, I’m probably the only person who hopes that Friday is NOT declared a national holiday as I, probationary employee, still do not get holiday pay.)

I’ve had moments where I’ve thought, “maybe I should lie down for an hour.” No, no, I know that’s crazy talk. It would just make it worse. I stay up. I don’t have to go into the office tomorrow. I can sleep the afternoon away if I want to.

I put some Pepsi in the freezer and left it in just a touch too long, and now I have a Pepsi slushy. Which wouldn’t be bad, except that’s not what I wanted. I just wanted my Pepsi to be cold.

While it IS kind of fun being a part of the insomniac television phenomenon, I’ll probably be sorry I did this in a few hours…caffeine, people. Caffiene is the key.

I feel like I should be doing something constructive. Writing. Reading. Job hunting. Journaling. Calling in the one… 😉 Hell, even watching a movie…

Speaking of reading, I finally did read “Holes,” and I loved it. I also read another YA novel that I’d been waiting for, “Messenger” by Lois Lowry. Anyone else out there read this one? I was so looking forward to it. I loved “The Giver” and “Gathering Blue,” but this one disappointed me a bit. Thoughts?
