Elliot Minor and sleepless nights

Well, I have officially not slept tonight. I have had such great anxiety about not waking up on time and just being able to go home. It doesn't feel weird and honestly, I didn't know I would be this excited to just see mountains...I'm a little upset about that, it is very hard for me to understand those feelings. I have bothered poor Jason for years...since we've been married really to move to the city, to move to LA...anywhere. And yet here I am, just wanting a lil Idaho. WEIRD!
Now, let's not get carried away here, my entire family is basically in Idaho and my most immediate close and loved ones are all in the Boise area (besides my g-pa in Twin and my Gammy and Papa in Rockland, and my Aunt Deb and her kids in Pocatello)-- obviously this pulls me there!
I am so excited to see Jason, OLIVER, my parents, my pups and the rest of my family! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I attempted to fall asleep, not because I was tired, but because it would make the time go by faster. I would wake up and it would be 4am and I could gather my things and get a taxi to LGA at 5. My plan was for not as I spent all night tossing and turning with knots in my stomach just thinking about being home for a couple days (the knots stem from excitement-duh).
THEN, on top of that, I originally started out with one of my windows closed, which was crazy because oddly the movement of the city makes a humming noise that is very easy to fall asleep to. So, I decided to open my window a bit as I do every night.
However, tonight a large number of people decided to serenade my block with their drunken tunes and a man decided to go through our trash outside (not that uncommon). I think he was new, because the guy before was very quiet, which I thought was at least polite, this new one needs to learn some manners. As the night rolled on, someone decided to break into a car right outside my window and I got to listen to yelling and a car alarm go off for about 5 minutes...lovely isn't it?
Now, don't get the wrong idea. The Upper West Side is lovely and this is really a rare occasion. I just found it odd that it would happen on the night when I just wanted a little bit of sleep. I am surprisingly awake and enjoying one of my new favorite bands, Elliot Minor, but I do know that I am doomed to crash later...hopefully on the plane to CO as I'm sure I will inevitably be smashed up against a lady that decides to tell me all about her life while doing her makeup, or a man that is reading a book, but breathing heavily enough that I can hear it over my IPOD.
NEGATIVE?
Perhaps.
Elliot is one of my all time favorite bands, they were never big, and maybe that's why I love them so much is because they are like my little secret. I started listening to them when I was 17 and haven't really stopped. I think it's kind of cool that Elliot Minor is one of my new favorites, but honestly I was drawn to them by their name and lucked out!
SEE?
Not all that negative.

Balance is important.

Well, it is now 3:35am my time. I was supposed to get up at 4:00am to get ready, however, I have already done that AND watched 2 episodes of Gilmore Girls. Whatever shall I do?
I never have time to write in my blog, so here is some rambling out of boredom...please be kind and excuse the constant jib-jab.

Jason and I celebrate 6 years of marriage on March 8th. CRAZY COOL! I feel so old- especially out here as people who have 10+ years on me aren't married and when they find out I am and have been for 6 years- they look at me like I am a mystical creature with a horn and wings. Everyone is pretty much used to it now, but the reaction never gets old. I am the luckiest girl alive. Jason is,well, perfect really. (gag all you want, I don't care, skip to the next paragraph, because I am not done.) It is so easy to take someone for granted sometimes, but I must say I am so happy to have my bestfriend in my life as my partner! He is pretty cool, ask him...he will tell you all about that! LOL

Being from Idaho is glamorous here. People think it is so cool. I actually describe it to some people and they respond with "Wow, sounds amazing!" so who-raw for us!

OK, nuff said.
