Cookie Signal

When I get better, and lose weight, I'm going to take a pottery class. For now, I'll just stick with sculpting.
 
OK, I know Gracie probably isn't awake, since it's 1am here but I thought I'd turn on the Cookie Signal in the hopes of flagging someone down.

My insomnia is back.

After my trip to Auckland, I gave myself a three week vacation - lots of sleeping, no running or heavy exercise, all the bad food I wanted. I think, after so much stress, I really needed to crash for awhile.

But, yesterday I told my body the vacation was over, time to go back to being my usual, hyperactive self.

Sigh. So, here I am. Wide awake again. I wrote for several hours but now I'm winding down before I try to sleep.

Anyone up yet?

Are you lonely my featherless one?

Why don't you make some chamomile tea and try to sleep? (Just remember to check the kettle for ants first).

I'm always lonely without my Emperor - but don't tell anyone here because I've developed a reputation as a very manly, non-ladylike person.

Tea sounds perfect. You know me so well. I had a dream last night that you could fly and I could breathe underwater, how weird is that?

Then I had another dream that I was at a fancy party and I had to pee really badly, but when I went to the bathroom, in the very fancy house, there was no toilet and no sink. So, I peed on one of their hand towels...then stuck it back in the drawer.

Yeah, OK, maybe I should try to sleep.

Hugs, kisses and beak rubs my love.

Rainy and cold at the moment. But I'm going to relocate myself to a warmer (hopefully!!) environment in a couple of days!! Not that I really miss those +40 celsius, humidity through the roof kind of temperatures from where I used to live, but I think +7 is kinda severe for June even in Finland.

+7?!!! Holy cow, you are a masochist! No, hot and humid is no fun. We're just coming into "winter" here, which I love. (Winter means you still wear shorts and a tank top all day, you just don't sweat buckets at 3am and have to sleep with an ice pack. LOL)

Good luck with the possible move!
 
Hooray! There used to be some Aussies and the occasional Kiwi to keep me entertained but I haven't spotted them for awhile.

How's life in Europe?



As I recall you were more interested in cupcakes, rather than cookies, when you were down here last. ;)

Are you getting island isolation syndrome K up there in the warm Pacific?

Oh, I'm definitely a cupcake kinda gal. The Cookie Signal is for Lit's most infamous cookie monster, Gracie. I use it like the bat signal to summon her when I'm awake and need company - since her time zone is closer to mine than most.

As for island syndrome...oh my friend, you have no idea. Luckily I have a small support group. We meet weekly and vent. Usually alcohol is involved. I'll never spend two years in a row anywhere, ever again, especially not on a hunk of rock so far away from anything resembling real food.

If I see another tin of corned beef, I will snap. LOL.

Is it getting cold in NZ?

I had a mate that worked in the islands, he went troppo after a while, took about 4 years for him to get back some semblance of normality, part of the rehab was getting him back into society and living in a city! lol.

The boys did have fun though when we visited him.

Damn cold; snow, rain and cold southerly winds.

Snow? What is this thing called "snow"? LOL.

I can totally relate to your mate. You start to go bush after awhile. I went back to Canada for a visit in October and couldn't get used to how fast everything was. I went to the mall one day to buy socks and underwear and left after twenty minutes. Just...overload. So much selection. Overwhelming.

I have to laugh when people come here and say, "Oh you're so lucky! I could live here forever." Uh huh. Suuuuuuurrrrre you could.

I'm going to miss my scooter though :rolleyes:

Well, I'll tell you honestly that I could not live there forever. I grew up on small towns, and have no intention of ever living somewhere that isn't near civilization ever again.

But I love to visit small towns. It makes a nice break.
 
I'm bored. And the monsters are wide awake, so I can't go to sleep. *sigh*
 
Oh, sure y'all. Put up the cookie signal, and then go to bed. Be that way! *pbbth*

I'm gonna go take a bath. So there!:mad:
 
Can I send out the cookie signal, please?

Waiting for a child to come home and have run out of interesting things to do in the meantime....

I should be sleeping because I have to work tomorrow, but I have that lovely "life change insomnia" thing going on these days...

And the children put the package of Oreos back in the pantry with only TWO Oreos in the whole thing.

Two.

Someone please explain the logic to me, because, personally, I think it's a bit cruel to get a girl's hopes up like that.

Anyone may light the Cookie Signal at any time. Just don't confuse it with the Bat signal or you may end up with George Clooney or Christian Bale crashing through your window.

On second thought...

*Leaves to light Bat Signal*

How many Oreos did they eat??!

OK, is it just me or has someone shrunk the Oreos? I don't generally eat cookies but I saw a pack in the store a few days ago and had a sudden urge. I seem to remember Oreos as big, decadent, dark chocolate discs with a huge, puffy cloud of creamy icing in the center...these things didn' even come close. I ate three and gave up in disgust.

Dessert let down. Yeesh.
