Where is the summer going?

I'd say.

The human body spends an extreme amount of calories during sleep. Maybe I could use an extra hour a day.

Probably. Hey, DH has been trying to lose weight. Maybe he's not sleeping enough yet.

Maybe that's what I need to do is get more sleep. Instead of 5-6 hours of sleep I could sleep through the next few weeks and wake up thin again!! At least I wouldn't be eating if I were sleeping!! LOL "Over weight and sleepless in Glens Falls"

I'm not overweight, maybe it's because I get so much sleep! That's it. I'm getting my beauty rest. I spend 10 - 12 hours a day sleeping, there's all that time I'm not eating...

Yes, Victor, I work very hard at sleeping, but somebody's got to do it.

Wow Harper, you got my cat beat.

Jack's dad used to go to sleep, after his two naps, at 10 PM and I'd be afraid to knock on his door at noon the next day to wake him up. Harper has so much to look forward to in 60+ years!

I think Harper is sleep-posting.

Wow, I got the cat beat? I'm so sorry! Is he okay?

Yes, he's sleeping it off. Thanks for asking.

Speaking of sleeping it off...

Hey! I'm awake - where is everyone???

(I'm enjoying the silence)

Hey, not too bad - only 4 hours later :-)

(Shh! She's sleeping again!)

Hey - I missed your birthday - sorry. I sent you a virtual bouquet on another thread. :-)

It's 9 AM - is Harper still asleep?

Thanks, Seandor.

Probably . . . .are there virtual roosters to rouse people?

No - real ones - they're called kids.

True!

I remember when I was still working, one day my 15-month old failed to rouse me at 5am and i was late for work!

Now I have to wake them up - if possible... They'd probably beat harper AND victor's cat!

I have a kid, but I didn't wake until 2pm today. I went to bed after 3am, I think... the full moon was shining right on my pillow. Here, I took a picture. Wow, 5am. I feel like going back to bed.

Zzzzzz....

Do you wear one of Goya's candle hats at night?

He, he, no. I'd probably burn the house down, starting with my hair.

Cool pic Harper. All that's missing is Bela.

Bela? As in Lugosi? How do you know he wasn't already there?????

Or Bartok. Have you thought about a curtain? Or maybe plant only moonflowers etc?

Who's Bela Bartok? I have curtains, but the room is waiting to be painted... been waiting for 3 years now, but last week I actually bought the paint!!! I'm on the move!

My moonflowers are growing, but no buds yet.

With your sensitive hands, I can understand you waiting, despite your artistic abilities.

I didn't say my hands were sensitive, they're "delicate". Get it right, sheesh.

Actually, procrastination is the reason the room hasn't been painted yet, but I guess you realized that.

Bela Bartok is probably the most famous composer to come out of Hungary. He straddles the abyss between the "late Romantic" and "Twentieth century" periods in music. Zillions of schoolchildren have struggled with his "Mikrokosmos", a twentieth century answer to Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier.

xxx, Carrie (finally I'm an expert. LOL.)

Holy cow you guys! So where did the summer go???? Hey, is Peter married?????

"My" Peter, the PT, isn't if that's who you meant, Anita.

Today was a major cuke picking day here and now the neighbors will lock their doors.

Hey Arlene, locked doors are no problem for ME. I just knock them open with my Whoppers!!!

Emily - I'm ready to meet you at the nearest stoplight! Whoppers indeed!

We also leave them on doorsteps!

Save me some! I only have two waiting on the vine for me...

Sure will.
