Sleep is not always what it's cracked up to be...

How many of you have had a nap recently on a Sunday afternoon?
I hear you, and you are saying just a few of us can say we have, mostly because my readership is quite diverse in age ranges… Ha, I’m just guessing folks!

Anywho, back to the topic of napping, if you have had a recent one the question is: how long did you sleep for?
The recommended time is only a half an hour, did you know that?
Well, according to the medicos any longer is detrimental to your well being.
Supposedly it can cause strokes in the elderly or some such other nonsense.
All I know if I sleep too long I wake up with a heck of a headache like I did today!
For some reason I was blinking off while trying to read my new book by Dan Brown, ‘Deception Point’ , copyright 2001, new to me not to him. In case any of you don’t know this author, which I truly doubt he is the one who wrote a little novel called the ‘DaVinci Code’?

It wasn’t the story putting me to sleep just me being extremely exhausted from the late night of watching ‘Avatar’ on our movie night last night a two hour and forty minute marathon movie; I suspect and so by one P.M. I realized I no longer could keep my peepers open and succumbed to heading to the bedroom for a few winks of blessed rest.
The next thing I knew it was 2:24 P.M.!
And Hubby was in his usual reading location out on the lanai and oblivious to my length of time in oversleep! To his good he did say he checked on me only fifteen minutes before, but didn’t want to disturb me!

My head has been pounding ever since I awoke, and I must admit I tried an afternoon cup of java to help me out of this stupor I felt like I was in although the pounding is persisting, the dullness of lethargy has subsided fortunately.

Friday night we had another movie night too, and showing that evening was the flick, Crazy Heart.

Can we talk? You know I love Jeff Bridges to bits and he deserves to win anything that the academy feels he should but you know the hype on his film and Avatar sort of left me with strange feelings of emptiness. I guess it could be me, and probably is, with me just expecting more, but most of the world got what they expected, right? And I am NOT by any means or should be by any means a film critic although I am a critic of just about everything in every medium form…If you know what I mean? LOL Enough said, right?

Dear Mississippians please know that we send our love and concern and condolences to all of you, nature’s wrath seems to be unrelenting this year again!

On that note of fear of what the rest of this year has in store for us … I will wish you all a good night and to all count those blessings and we will too! Think positive happy thoughts.
