“Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day, you shall begin it well and serenely...”

My sleep study went well. I need to make an appointment for the follow up (I'll do that tomorrow). Some notes for anyone that might be having a sleep study in the future:

* Take long pants and shorts - the room might be hot or cold. (My room was hot, but someone else had a cold room)

* Don't be afraid to say you need to use the bathroom if you wake up and need to go. (I was terrified to say I needed to pee, but thankfully one of my leg leads came off so they had to come in and fix that & I could go potty then)

* When they say "bring everything you'd bring if you stayed at a hotel" do it. I didn't bring my hairdryer so I couldn't take a shower - bummer.

 Sawyer & I went to see Dark Shadows this weekend. I adore Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, so it was a must-see. I loved Barnibus' make-up, except for the attempt at making his cheekbones stand out - that looked silly in some shots.

I've been watching Toddlers & Tiaras while I'm working (Don't judge!). Today I just watched one with a girl named Madison/Tootie who was a real _BITCH_ (her real name is Madison, but her "stage name" is Tootie). The camera person asked her if she was excited for the other girls and she said "No..." with a real attitude. She's what makes all pageant girls look bad - the rest of the girls talked about having fun and enjoying it, but "Tootie" was all about winning, and being a bitch. She just acted so _entitled_, even when she was Madison. Yikes.

For awhile I was thinking - ok people misjudged these women and their kids - they all say they do it because the girls enjoy it, and that they will stop sending the girls if they ask to. Madison/Tootie's mom seemed sweet, and made a comment that she (Madison/Tootie's Mom) was Tootie's slave. It certainly seemed that way! The rest of the other girls' moms seemed to be "This is what she (the daughter) enjoys, so I'm here to support and help her". I felt bad for Tootie's Mom!

I will say that the little girls look beautiful - glitz or natural - they are gorgeous. I don't like the littles parading around in bikini's and shaking their little hips, but that's just part of it, I suppose.

I also think that "learning good sportsmanship" by being in pageants is bullshit. They don't learn good sportsmanship - they learn how to be mean little brats who always get what they want.

 My Etsy Shop is sort of at a stand-still. I'm still working out what I want to make/sell. It'll be awhile until it's up and running, but I'll let you know when it's open.

 I've been having trouble with my TMJ lately. I've tried finding a doctor to look at it, but there aren't many Maxilio-Facial doctors that deal with TMJ that are accepting new patients. It's starting to make me crazy. I can't close my jaw completely, and it's making it hard to chew. I'm only 28 years old for crying out loud!
