Sleep Deprivation, Breaks and Yoga...

So it is 6:21 a.m. right now and I have nothing better to do than blog. Yes you read that right, it is approximately 6:30 in the morning and I am awake. My family is probably staring at the computer screen right now gasping and wondering who has abducted their sister. In fact, anyone knows I am soooo NOT a morning person. But here I am, blogging at 6:30 in the morning. Reason being is I CAN'T SLEEP!!! It is seriously driving me insane! I will lay in bed for foreeever and not fall asleep. I've even counted sheep, and frankly once I actually started looking at the sheep I was counting I realized my mind invisions weird looking sheep. I've taken Melatonin (it's a natural sleep helper that does not cause addiction or weird side effects) and it works alright. It just works too well. I'll fall asleep bout 15-30 min after taking it and wont wake up til 10-12 hours later. Then I get too much sleep which means I'm definitely not falling asleep tonight.

Now granted I probably know why this is happening. Ever since we moved to Washington I have been "taking a break" from work. Which means I haven't been given anything to do online. Did I mention I'm supposed to be working online for the place I worked for in Logan? I've been livin it up! Watching HGTV all day with sprinkles of Food Network and Discovery Channel! Checkin Facebook whenever I want! Being a lazy bum and not doing my hair or make up! So basically I'm bored out of my mind. However, I have been letting the craftier side of me bloom. I've made a headboard, painted the office and kitchen and I have many more plans! But until I can get supplies and the power tools to do such things, I'm stuck watching TV, surfing the web and discovering that my cat snores when he sleeps.

I've seriously thought of taking up Yoga. Has anyone ever done or is doing that? What's your take on it? I was going to be all nerdy and cheesy and buy Jillian what's-her-bucket-from-Biggest-Loser's Yoga workout DVD at Wal Mart. I'm this >....< close to doing it.

So, if any of you have a cure to my sleep problem, know of a good, cheap, but awesome sewing machine for me and/or know anything about Yoga, please leave a comment. Thank you! =]

*post script*
Other than discovering that Snickers snores is I'm teaching him tricks! =] So far he do "Up" and will sit on his behind. We're working on shake. So far as long as he lets me hold his paw and he doesn't pull back, he'll get a treat. More cool tricks to come. Maybe I can get them on video and post it. Yeah, that would be cool. And NO I'm NOT a crazy cat lady!!!
