Yawn, it's late but I can't sleep

I couldn't sleep so I laid in bed using Felipe's iPhone on our wireless network to surf the web and catch up on all my friends' blogs. That got me to thinking that I may as well update my own blog. So here I am. I am slightly worried though because it is 1 AM (1AM?) in the morning and it looks like I won't get much sleep tonight. Ordinarily I wouldn't be worried but tomorrow I am supposed to go and see the play "The Color Purple" and I don't want to be caught snoring at Grady Gammage.

This week Felipe has been pretty sick. At first we thought it was his allergies. He went to an allergist about a month ago to be tested for allergies and they decided to start him on allergy shots. He started the shots last week and then did yard work over the weekend, which spurred on some vicious allergy attacks. We thought the attacks just kept recurring, but then he ended up with a fever of 102. Aside from hoping he gets well soon, I am also worried that the girls and I will get sick. I am worried not because of the normal worries moms have, but because I lied and called in sick a couple times last month. I pretended we all had the flu, and now if we really do get the flu, I don't have an excuse for calling out sick. Karma.

I have been watching Clean Sweep on TLC to try and get me motivated to purge and organize. I started on my master bedroom closet today. I forgot just how big my closet really is without shopping bags, shoes, and boxes on the floor. I tried the Clean Sweep method by completely emptying the closet and moving everything out into the bathroom area (adjacent to our closet). Felipe walked into the empty closet (after having maneuvered his way toward me amongst the maze of closet clutter in the bathroom) and said, "Wow, the closet looks great! Let's go to sleep." Very funny that guy. Anyway, we now are left with practically no clothes, just a few pairs of shoes (3 for him, 40-ish for me), and a gazillion empty hangars. I love it. Let's hope it stays that way. Next is the single car garage. We have a 2-car and 1-car garage, of which I am grateful for, because the single car garage stays closed at all times in order to avoid neighborhood embarrassment.

The only other thing I can bore you with is that I registered for a useless gym membership. I hate the gym. Really I do. However, Boeing has a pretty good deal with a gym franchise that just opened a new location right by my house. If I were feeling really ambitious I could jog or ride my bike to the gym since it is pretty close. We just got the membership a couple days ago and I was planning to go in the morning, but now I will probably be too tired. Story of my life.

I can't think of anything else to bore you about, so I suppose I should try and sleep. And *maybe* go to the gym in a couple hours.

Thanks for checking in.

Reading blogs on an iPhone! That is *cool*. Do you ever type your blog entries from the iPhone? I'm curious to hear how cumbersome the iPhone is for heavy duty typing.

I checked our blog from an iPhone at my local Apple Store and thought it was so cool that the page looked exactly the way it did on my computer. Well, except for some flash videos that happened to be our blog that day that the iPhone couldn't read. Compare that to what you see on a Blackberry, and it is no surprise the iPhone is so popular. When Apple comes out with Exchange support later this year (and if they drop the price a few hundred dollars) I'll be sure to pick one up.

I'm not so good at long winded typing on the iPhone. I prefer my Treo (and my previous Blackberry) over the iPhone for typing. When I did my blog post I got up and wrote it on the computer. I think the iPhone typing may just be something you have to get used to. I am familiar with the thumb- style typing, and on the iPhone it seems to work better if you type with your index fingers. Less errors that way.

Ugh, girl, you need to take some SLEEPING pills or something! I hate not sleeping. A bad night for me is tossing and turning for an hour, getting up to read for 15 min. and then my eyes are tired enough. Maybe some tossing and turning during the night. I can't imagine just not being able to sleep!!

Do you still read a lot? I go in spurts. Right now, I'm in a spurt ;) I have books lined up that I just got at the library. But I couldn't read those until I read the one my sister gave me to read, and the one my mom did. THEN I can move on to the library ones. I could probably read them all in 3 weeks, but just in case, I feel confident they aren't ones that most people are lining up to read and so I can just renew them online!!
