I got a bunch of emails yesterday asking, “WHY are you up at 2AM every night? GO to bed, already!”
Sort of outraged and all accuse-y like. Like I don’t like sleep. I DO! Oh boy, do I. I love sleep. Like a fat kid loves cake. mmmm, cake.
So, here are the reasons I’m up all dang night:
- Peyton’s quit using Pull-ups and I’d either have to wake up to her crawling in bed with me full of urine stank or just stay up and get her up for that one last potty run of the night (which I’m always thankful I do because she does that six minute long Austin Powers’ style pee).
- My body’s never quite gotten over the sleep-deprivation of the past 4 years. After the stroke, I was always tired and napped like a newborn and it got better, but then keeping Peyton’s hours during treatment just totally whacked me out. Now I seem to want to sleep for short spurts and nap instead of straight nights of sleep. Wondering if that’ll ever straighten out.
- I think I’m part vampire because I can get so much more done if the sun’s not up. FOR real! If I can get over the 2-3PM slump, I get all jazzy around 8 and then I can just multitask like no one’s business. Right now, as I’m writing this at 12:59 AM, I’m on Twitter, I’m stirring my secret-lab brew, building a Facebook page for a site AND chugging out load after load of laundry.
- I have always been a night owl, I used to think the world was out of balance if I didn’t see the sunrise before I went to bed. However, that was before I had kids and those little stinkers get up at 7 AM like clockwork, weekends not withstanding.
- I have all these new buddies on the west coast, which means if I want to chat with them I have to stay up til they finish dinner. Yeah, I’m blaming it on you, Heather!
- I have this weird insomnia thing since Peter’s been gone. I can’t get in bed and just pass out unless I’m dead exhausted. Otherwise I toss and turn and end up falling asleep at 2AM anyways. And if anyone comments on how sweet it is that I can’t sleep without my husband, know that I nearly put my foot in his kidneys this last trip home because HE’S gotten used to sleeping in the middle of the bed. So, I can’t sleep with him HERE either.
- All the BEST infomercials are on after 1 AM…not kidding!
I will give a one year subscription to Picnik Premium (the best online photo-editing software) to the person who knows why this will go down in history as my favorite commercial OF.ALL.TIME. If more than one of you gets the REASON, I’ll have a random pull on Friday. *snort* It’s not hard to figure out.

Did he just say, “I love my nuts!”?! Holy hell.
Between that and the little stars popping up on the screen, I think I love this one too. (And I don’t usually laugh before 8 a.m.)

While there are plenty of doozies to pick from my favorite is “you’re gonna love my nuts.” although, I don’t want a boring tuna either.

Flipping awesome!
Alright crazy infomercial guy-what if I don’t mind my eggs being boring. And I really don’t think I want to love your nuts!”
P.S. I don’t need picnik prem. I already have-so if I get the answer right just take my name off the list-thanks hon!

Let me guess… you LOVE his nuts?? Did you REALLY think more than one person wouldn’t figure that one out?? I didn’t even have to watch it to konw the answer to that one!

Fettuccine, Linguine, Martini, Bikini – really, who uses cheese with the last 2??
Never mind – I take that back – I don’t want to know (my sneaking suspicion is its the older lady with the sunglasses in the testimonial section)

It’s because everyone loves Vince’s nuts.

Now how does he know I’m gonna love his nuts? Sheesh! Little full of yourself, aren’t you Vince? *rolling eyes*
‘And it comes with a cover. So you can do everything in the cover. Aaight? Or you can do it on the board. Whatever you like. So easy. I can do it with one finger. If I can do it with one finger, you guys can do it with your whole hand. Kids can do it.’
Mmmmkay. I don’t think I want my kids doing it, thankyouverymuch Mr. Slappy! Perv.
Y’know though, this commercial is like a bad accident. You just can’t not look.
Oh yeah. One question. Why is it every time he says something about the Graty, I get the urge to watch Sanford and Son reruns?
Sorry. That’s Grady, isn’t it? *tee hee*

I totally thought it would be the “boring tuna” bit but then he said “you’ll love my nuts”. I just snorted…at my desk…at work…at 7:30 in the morning. Thank you for that.

I think it’s just cause you get to SLAP something! Instead of someone to get out your frustrations! And I’ve never seen his nuts-so I don’t know how I like them!

I snorted too with “you’ll love my nuts”
Good for a laugh. I’d love to have Vince at Thanksgiving dinner. You know he’s got some old uncle who loves to bust his chops.

I am a night owl too and it is hard to have freaky early bird people around me. Night time is the only time I get peace and quiet.

He said “you’re gonna love my nuts”!! He actually said that. I know that’s why you love the infomercial, right??????

Ahhh a good ‘ol Jersey boy that doesn’t want to cry while “slapping his nuts!”
This may be worth staying up late for! Oh wait I think I saw him at my last trip to Costco, never mind I can stay in bed!
All of this for the low, low, price of $19.95 (don’t forget about the $29.95 shipping) plus all the extras!
Where’s my freaking phone?!
on Mar 6th, 2009 at 11:30 am
Since it’s you it’s definitely the “you’re gonna love my nuts” but seriously this guy is hilarious!
on Mar 6th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
yep.
“You’re gonna love my nuts”
Okay, I’m up way too late too. Now I’m gonna IM you when I’m up. Feel free to ignore me. Everyone else does.

Well, if you were vamipre, you would never sleep. How great would that be? Skinny, beautiful and never needing sleep. Now that’s something I’d trade my soul for. Just kidding… sort of.

Hey, it’s not MY fault I live somewhere awesome. Move here, then you won’t be up so late.
