I haven’t talked about it a lot here, although I’ve brought it up on Twitter a few times, but I started a diet last Monday. Let me clarify that, I changed the way I eat last Monday. “Starting” insinuates that I’m going to “stop”, which I’m not. I’m following my doctor’s recommendations, and I lost 2.2 pounds last week.

It turns out that the hardest thing so far hasn’t been giving up the chips and candy bars and donuts, it’s how not having all that fat and sugar in my system has affected my sleep. I was okay last week until Sunday, and then I crashed hard. I slept until 8:30, went back to bed at 10:30, slept until noon, went back to bed at 4:30, slept until 6:00, then went to bed at 11:00. When I am sleeping, I’m having extremely vivid dreams, too.

So this morning, I have this vague memory of having said a bunch of stuff to Chris when his alarm went off, but I had to IM him and ask him about it. Turns out I was sleeping facing away from him and he tried to get me to roll over so he could snuggle me for a minute and I snapped at him, and mumbled something about how every time I try to sleep, someone wakes me up. Nice, huh?

The boys went Up North today, with my friend Kellie’s son Forrest, they are all staying with her parents in Oscoda, and tomorrow they are going to Mackinac Island! I wish I could go too! It’s just me and Kaitlyn during the day this whole week. I’m so mean, I made her turn off “Max and Ruby” so I could watch some new DVDs. I needed a good laugh, so I watched “Best of Comedy Central Presents II“. It’s got clips from routines by Patton Oswalt, Dave Attell, Zach Galifianakis, and Nick Swardson, some are funnier than others of course, and it’s long at 176 minutes. But since it’s broken up into segments, it’s easy to turn it on, watch for a while, then stop and pick it up again another time. It’s not rated, but I would probably not let younger kids watch.

So tell me in your comment please, what’s your favorite movie to watch when you’ve been fighting with your spouse and/or just need a good laugh?
