Sleep dancing?
Posted: Friday, June 22, 2007 by Travis Cody inSteven from Get Your Blog On tagged me for the sleep meme. But first...
Jesse and Pasha in the bottom three???? No freakin' way! We may just need to give the dialing fingers a work out next week.
It makes more sense that Shauna & Jimmy and Faina & Cedric are in the bottom three.
Shauna really saved herself with her solo. Jesse made it hard on herself and I did not like Faina's solo at all. Judges decide to send Faina home and save Jesse. I think that's the right decision.
Judges are critical of Pasha's solo but save him. Judges save Cedric and send Jimmy home. That's really wrong. Cedric is an amazingly talented hip hop dancer, but that's all he does. He doesn't have the talent to improve quickly in different styles, which is what it takes to continue to do well in this show. Jimmy is the kind of dancer who would benefit most from advancing in the competition. This is an unfortunate decision, based on potential.
Now, for a sleep meme! My task is to list six odd things I do when getting ready for sleep.
1. I have to check email and make sure my cell phone and Ipod are plugged in and charging before I get ready for bed.
2. It's supposed to be a bad thing to exercise before sleep, but I have to do sit ups and push ups. I usually try to do them an hour or so before I get in bed, and I do at least 100 of each, about every other night.
3. Pam and I keep different hours. I get to work at 7am, and she usually doesn't go in until neary 10. She also works late, and does a lot of stuff from home. I'm usually moving toward the bed around 10:30pm. She'll bring her book, we'll put the TV on, and I like to curl around her while she's reading. This is also a good position from which to distract her...if you get my meaning!
4. I can't lay flat on my back, and I can't have my legs stretched out flat. I have extra pillows so I can be propped up, with a body pillow that I drape my legs over.
5. I don't sleep straight through. It's more like a series of naps. Every time I wake up, I switch from my back to my left side or from my left side to my back. I can't sleep on my right side because of shoulder/lower back/hip/knee pain. When I'm laying on my side, I need to have a pillow or something between my knees to keep my back straight. But I still wake up with pain most mornings.
6. I sleep in my Jockey boxer briefs. But I have to keep a pair of sweats and a T-shirt, and my mocs, within a step or two of the bed - in the same spot every night - just in case there's an emergency. All you have to do to understand this requirement is imagine yourself standing outside in the middle of the night in your underwear and bare feet while cops and firemen and looky-loos deal with your household disaster.
Not too odd, right? Right?
Whom to tag? Let's see...how about Julie!
I must say I find the 'curl around her while she reads' just mmmmyummy.
And 6--excellent plan--I love sleeping naked but whethere fully in the buff or only half clothed I always keep clothes next to the bed. I was rousted out of bed one night during an apartment building fire. That scramble to get clothes on taught me a lesson.
Sorry you don't/can't sleep all the way through sugar.
Smooch
