You snooze, you lose.

So here I am, 7: 40 pm surrounded by snoozing sounds...Sophie on her bed sprawled out-passed out-bone by her mouth and Howard on the couch making a soft snore. Why is everyone so tired? Well, perhaps because Howie has been up every night from about 3 am on coughing his head off, yes-he's been trying cough medicine, cold medicine, you name it...he's met his match with this cold. Today I bought him some Mucinex, despite their sicko commercials, I'm hoping it will be a quick fix so we can get some SLEEP tonight. Our apartment is a "loft" style so it is very open, leaving every sound to be heard...so last night in my lack of sleep madness, I even contemplated taking a blanket and pillow and sleeping in our enormous closet. (You laugh now, but at 3 am, I'll do anything for Z's) I really feel like I'm in a nursing home, who goes to bed this early? Maybe I can still catch Wheel of Fortune and do a quick crossword before I zonk out too?...ha, only kidding, but on another thought maybe some re-runs of the Hills are playing and since Howard is sleeping, he surely can't complain!

(I'm kind of bored tonight, obvi, and without new pictures-so I thought I would post the picture above, circa last Thanksgiving from our Christmas card, which by the way I've already been planning mine out. Isn't Sophie so TEENY? I miss being able to carry her around. Oh, and I also am really missing Layla, I keep hearing her name on TV and am contemplating going to scoop her up from her farm, she's still there!)
