Cocaine Princess here.
I've had possibly one of the most exhausting weeks ever that I had no idea it was even Friday so please excuse this very short post.
Yesterday while out for my morning run I had the scare of my life. I said, "Oh my God!!" and quite loudly I might add because honestly I thought I saw a snake on the sidewalk. I nearly jumped out of my skin.
When I took a closer look it wasn't a snake.
So what was it? Take a look:
It was a frigging shoe lace!! Go ahead and laugh. The 60-something year old crossing guard laughed as did the 5 and 6 year old little lambs he was helping cross the street. One of them ran over, picked it up and stuffed it into his coat pocket. Before I had a chance to ask if the shoelace belonged to him he ran back to his flock.
I don't know why the first thing that came to mind when I saw a long, thin and squiggly object was a snake but it just did. Afterward I thought to myself, "I live in a cold climate. Like a snake is going to be slithering around in -17C weather? Sheesh!"

As soon as I post this I'm going back under the covers and if Mr. Sandman has even one ounce of compassion he'll allow me to sleep until Sunday but I doubt he will. I may have muttered a couple of curse words at him as I was heating up warm milk in the microwave early this morning. Early as in 2am. As I carried my weary self into the family room I turned on the TV trying to find something boring to watch in hopes it would put me in a slumber. It’s funny how something boring can be interesting to watch. For example, I turned on the “Agricultural News” and thought if this doesn’t put me to sleep nothing will! I was wrong. I had no idea tractor sales in my province rose 20% and here’s an interesting fun fact: the total number of cattle and calves up here:14.32 million including 1.5 million dairy cattle. After hearing this fun fact I sipped on my milk I and wondered, hmm, do cows know how good they taste? Especially during their summer when they’re grilled on the BBQ? And while we're on the subject of milk, whoever said that warm milk can help you sleep I'm beginning to think was wrong.
My loyal and dear readers it's finally Friday

You have trouble falling asleep? I have trouble STAYING AWAKE reading your posts. I drink two cups of java before heading to your blog.
A snake? Pu-leeze! I can see from the pic it’s either a shoelace or a worm.

I’m sorry you have trouble staying awake. Instead of coffee may I suggest you drink a Red Bull.

Perhaps if you had been in my shoes you might have thought differently.
@10:03- it looks like nessie -- the loc ness monster. heh-heh.
Warm milk contains the hormone melatonin and the amino acid tryptophan to help you relax and fall asleep. Peanuts, bananas and poultry contain also melatonin and tryptophan.
i would have TOTALLY thought that was a snake... dont feel too bad :)

I'll try the peanuts and banana.
I would be laughing hysterically as well for only one reason. It is evident form the shoelace picture, that the 'snake' is crossing the sideway in the middle of winter (there is snow on the ground). Snakes hypernate in winter, they don't go slithering through snow banks.......tooo funny.
