Priorities that I can align with

Recently, my roommate Nicole introduced me to something called Crystal Light Energy Mix. She blogged about it here and I can't possibly make a funnier post than she did, so I'll let you read about it there. Nicole and I used to have our rooms right next to each other, which has recently changed and which I will post about shortly. Said post will be known as The Great Bedroom Relocation of 2009. Anyway, neither Nicole or I are "morning" people. I would often hear her alarm go off in the morning and lay there and wonder if I sleep 10 more minutes, will I beat her into the shower?

And then I would realize that maybe I wouldn't shower at all and just put on extra deodorant and perfume and call it a day. My laziness is apparent.

So after Nicole raved about this energy mix she found, I figured I had to try it. Thank you Nicole, but I will not longer be needing assistance in the drink department. Because the day that I tried this little mix, I was wide awake until 3 am. I guess I will have to suffer through my tiredness and try and get more sleep. I'm really thinking I need a good 8 hours of sleep a night to function at a normal level during the day. Just normal. Let's not get that confused with what 10 hours of sleep could do to me. I actually don't even know. I don't remember the last time I got that much sleep.

Anyway, Nicole and I discussed our new plan of getting more sleep and I thought she was on board with our new must-have-at-least-eight-hours-of-sleep plan but apparently, she's thought of a new one. Because when she was asked if she was ready to go back to work after a much anticipated lunch break she replied:

"I need a nap, a massage and a good makeout before I could possibly go back to work".

She's a wise friend, that Nicole. She's got her priorities in the right place. So, maybe 8 hours of sleep isn't the best plan. Maybe all I need is a nap, a massage....and a makeout.
