sleep, wonderful sleep

My three friends who are new mothers are going to hate me for writing this, but I had the most wonderful night of sleep last night. Sean and I have both been dragging pretty badly this past week. Getting home as late as we did Monday night and getting no sleep impacted us for the rest of the week. Last night, though, finally made up for it. 10 hours of beautiful, wonderful sleep.

The only disturbance was that at about 5am our power went out. I have no clue how long it went out, but some of our electric items in the house turned themselves on when the power came back on. I woke up hearing voices in the house. Since Sean’s been feeling sick the past couple of days, I didn’t want to wake him up, so I snuck out of our bedroom to see what was going on. It turned out to be the TV in the guest bedroom was on and it was the talking heads that woke me up.

Now that I’ve gotten sleep, I guess I should concentrate on a few of my weekend activities. On the roster this weekend:
- Finish sorting through old photos and post them on my new Flickr account (we’re moving away from Gallery, but it will be a little while before everything’s moved)
- Start the search for new desk furniture (My desk has officially become too small for me, so it’s time to upgrade. I also need a new filing cabinet as my current one is now too small to hold all of our paperwork.)
- Finally finish adding all of our investment accounts into Quicken (yes, I’ve been going this long on my own homegrown spreadsheets and I’ve finally gotten the point that I’m tired of dealing with maintaining my own stuff)

Okay, time for my weekend to finally start. Oh, and on the dinner menu tonight is a new recipe from Sunset Magazine. Salsa verde braised pork.
