{play} me in october + venting

let me preface this post by saying that i hate debbie downers. i really do.

this whole "fml" thing is one of the most obnoxious phrases that i've ever heard, and i know way too many people who use it all. the. time.

now, that being said - i've had a rough month. insomnia is catching up with me in a bad way...i'm emotional and scatterbrained. i don't think one should be able to go two months with just 3-ish hours of sleep a night! and our house keeps basically pushing us out the door by giving us more and more annoying signs that we temporarily don't want to be homeowners, and we don't want the responsibility of having to pay for everything and fix everything on our own! and we all know how working 1:00-10:00pm is just so fun, right? leaves a lot of time to spend with a husband who's gone half the month for work.

ok, rant over. and i didn't even say fml once.

here's a playlist i've been listening to lately that's been cheering me up...

oh and speaking of cheer, shiner cheer is out. my favorite beer of the year! that's also making me feel better.

on to the playlist:

that terribly blurry picture above is something that i'm used to seeing when looking through the camera roll on my phone. i mentioned on friday that music means a lot to me - i definitely go out of my way to seek out new artists, new songs, etc. (new to me, anyway).

so if i hear a new song that i love while i'm driving around, like the one in the picture above, i reach for my phone and take a super quick picture, no matter how blurry...i'll be able to decipher it later!
(i promise i'm a safe driver...am i the only one out there that momentarily puts myself in danger to take pictures of songs?? please say i'm not.)
this helps me remember songs that i need to download the second i get home. i love creating new playlists whether they're for helping me wake up in the morning, for keeping me moving during a run, or to get me through the work day.

so i'll share my most current playlist with you guys - hope you enjoy it!

(if you're my facebook friend, you can listen to the playlist on spotify by clicking: right here. if we're not facebook friends and you want to listen to it that way - add me! otherwise, spotify is very easy [and free] to use and you can add these 10 songs on your own account)

september playlist:

on a completely different note - i've been plagued with insomnia for a little over 3 weeks now. i know that normally insomnia is attributed to high stress levels, new diets, new work out levels/routines, etc ... none of which apply to me. so i have no idea what's going on, but my body is actually getting used to this no sleep thing, and i'm getting my energy back. this morning i ran further than i have before and was not tired at all until i stopped. so maybe insomnia isn't so bad? even if i was delirious during my run since it was so early and the sun hadn't even come up yet. nothing like thinking you heard a rattle snake next to you, when really it's just a sprinkler turning on, am i right?
