a peek inside my brain

what is it...
crazy people don't know they are crazy?
so if I know I'm crazy, than I'm not, right?

let me take you on a tour of a typical night for me and my crazy brain.

It's 10:30.  
Jason's not home.  
All of the girls are sleeping.
My projects are done.
The house is picked up.
I just started a new book. 
(I haven't read a book since Twilight and that, well...)
I turn off the lights and head to my room for a few hours of reading.
But then I pass by the computer.
Maybe I'll just read a few blogs.
I set a ten minute limit.
Visit Kelly.
See this post.
Click on this tutorial.
Think, well my new book does need a bookmark.
Turn back on the lights.
Go the garage to collect supplies.
Set everything up.
Make a bookmark.
Think, well everything is out I might as well make a couple.
Soon one dozen bookmarks are sewn.
Then I have to trim them, 
so I might as well watch something on the Tivo.
How is it 3am?
Turn off the lights.
Go to bed and read.
One page in, I am falling asleep.
Save my place with cute bookmark.
Nite nite.

Who are these bookmarks for?
Make a purchase during my stroller sale and you just might find out.

    you are a total goofball.
    i think the next thing to add is "five minutes later...child wakes up crying" that is what happens to me.

    I can totally relate to this (with photoshop, not a sewing machine!) I love these bookmarks! I want to buy one! And, I still can't believe you didn't like Twilight :)

    Those are SO very cute! I tear through books like nobody's business, so I'm always in the market for more bookmarks. You used great fabrics too, I love the colors!

    And by the way, my nights are often very similar to the one you just described. We are nightowls, hear us hoot!!
