Warning: Dangerous Couches

 My couches arrived a few days ago, but I've only sat on them one time since then.  Here's why:

The couches were delivered at ~2 pm Sunday afternoon.  Right after the delivery guys left, I sat down on one of the couches to try it out....
                    ... and I didn't get up for 3 hours.

The couch was so comfortable that I basically fell asleep on contact.  I wasn't all that tired when I sat down, but the couch knocked me unconscious.  Instantly.  And I wasn't even laying down!  I was just sitting with my feet up on the ottoman!

Anyway, although my accidental nap was fabulous, I am now very worried about falling asleep on the couch and missing work or something important.  I don't have an alarm clock in my living room obviously.  So due to these concerns, I haven't sat down on the couch again since Sunday.

But maybe tonight I will build up some courage to try it again.  Hopefully it won't knock me out again.

PS.  If I don't post anything on this blog for the next 3 days, you'll know why.

The nap that God wrought Himself

(or should that be wroughteth?)

I just took the most hardcore nap ever.  Like super hardcore.

I had just put my laundry in the dryer downstairs, and I had 75 minutes to kill.  So I decided to take a nap.  (Obviously.)

Actually, I think this is the first mid-afternoon nap I've taken since I moved into my apartment.  (Although according to my wall clock, this nap occurred at either 10 AM or 10 PM.)

Anyway, after putting my laundry in the dryer, I went back to my apartment and set an alarm for 75 minutes later, and passed out.  And I slept hard.  Super hard.  I slept so hard that I was majorly confused when I woke up.  I thought I was late for work.  (Though that didn't stop me from hitting the snooze button a half-dozen times.)

This is where the magic happened.

It took me at least half an hour to realize that it was Friday afternoon, and that I had been doing laundry.  And I think I might have still been asleep when I went to go pick up my clothes from the dryer because I sort of stumbled drunkenly down the hallway to the stairs, bumping into the wall several times, and then I almost dropped my entire clean laundry onto the floor as I was taking out of the dryer.

But I made it back upstairs, and I was even conscious enough to actually fold my laundry.  (Although at one point when I was folding my jeans, I accidentally hit myself in the crotch and almost had to lay down again.)

Anyway, in summary, naps are awesome, and this one in particular was even more awesomer than usual.

Today's shaping up to be a good day

So today is shaping up to be a good day.  I woke up to a beautiful snowfall outside.

Light flurry, but very heavy snow flakes.  The forecast says these flurries should last for two days and should drop over 12 inches of snow!  I think I might organize a sledding party on Sunday.  Hmmm....

After watching the snow a bit, I made breakfast, which turned out great.  Pierogies are delicious (see below).

And I got a surprise this morning because someone "donated" three beautifully framed pictures to the synagogue yesterday, but the rabbi didn't have room for them.  So he gave them away...to me.  So now I have artwork!  I'm getting more and more civilized every day!

Keeping it classy, Chicago

Anyway, later today, I going to Best Buy to pick up a wireless modem because my cable internet is being installed later this week.  I'm also taking my sister, bro-in-law, and nephew to the airport tonight, and then who knows what else?  Other things on my To-Do list include laundry, buying light bulbs and nails, and unpacking more of my silverware, pots, and pans.  Hopefully, I'll actually get these done today, but I think a nap seems more likely.
