I got kicked out of my own bed last night.
There I was sleeping away, when all of a sudden I heard a very familiar voice:
“You’re snoring too much! Go sleep on the couch.”
Obediently, and also because I’m a sucker and refused to be relegated to the couch the evening before, I moved my sleepy bum to the couch and there I finished the night. Now, I’m not normally a snorer. It’s just that after an overly exhausting birthday celebration trip to Cedar Point (apparently aging does this to you), I managed to pick up a nasty cold that’s been going around. A friend we saw last Friday now has it, as does a co-worker I share my office with. Perhaps the most frustrating part is that my nose isn’t stuffed up at all - it’s all in my throat. It hurts to swallow.
It’s 11:30 and I just chugged a Neo-Citran, so I’m going to make the rest of this short and in point-form, because that’s what lazy bloggers do (I am totally kidding, lazy bloggers just post a picture, but said laziness can be forgiven when said picture is accompanied with a witty caption, and oh good god I am alienating readers now, YOU ARE NOT LAZY! Did you see I updated the blogroll?) because it’s 11:30 and I just chugged a Neo-Citran:
1. Twilight. Started reading it. Enjoying it, but I’m now really pissed that I already know various plot points. I “spoil” movies and TV shows for myself all the time because I love to be ‘in the know’, but I don’t think I’ve ever spoiled a book before (with the exception of Harry Potter 7, but that doesn’t count because it was the seventh in a series. And because I say it doesn’t count). I don’t know how to explain my reading habits.
2. 
Isn’t Mr X a cutie? I couldn’t find quite the right balance between the black and brown for his hair/facial hair colour, so I alternated. Also, although he owns several similar blue and white button-up shirts (I have the iron burns to prove it), he doesn’t own a jacket like the picture, but isn’t it nice?
3. Besides the fact that I am now officially in my late twenties, gawd I feel old. Physically old (thanks to the cold) and mentally old as my friends marry and procreate. There is so much more here that I’m leaving it for another day.
Wish me luck as I try to make it through the night without being kicked out of bed.

HAH I THOUGHT IT LOOKED LIKE X-MAN TOO! Now forgive my just-got-home-from-the-bar drunken comment, but I laughed so hard at your post! You did update the blogroll, but I think my profile in the About FB section is much too boring. I sound boring! I am not a boring person.
Eri, right after you had your first couple of seizures, we shared a room. You DO snore, a lot. You used to snore and I would curse your very being because I couldn’t sleep. But whenever you would stop snoring, I would think you had just had a seizure and had died in your sleep and I would get so paranoid and anxius that I would crawl outta bed and go put my hand over your face to make sure you were still alive. Now usually somewhere in between the crawling outta bed and the hand over the face you would start snoring again and I would continue to go on cursing your very being.
Moral of the story - your snoring ruins lives and regular sleep patterns!!
You’re lucky we all love you so much.

Wow. Kicked out of bed? I sleep with a every night kind of snorer and haven’t done that yet haha instead, I enjoy jabbing him in the ribs periodically. It’s therapeutic.

haha lee I love your drunk comments…
Er you totally DO snore! I had to share a bed with you! Also I think I have the cold too. My throat has been HORRIBLE since yesterday afternoon! I thought it was just phlegm in my throat so I tried to drink a lot of water and cough to get it out. It didn’t work.
off topic- Mom has a secret and she won’t tell me, so now I’m just being mean to her in the mean time. WHO tells someone that they have a secret then doesn’t tell them? who?

omg I’m totally a lazy blogger and Erica hates me
I’m sorry you’re sick though, I have the sniffles, I’m hoping it doesn’t turn into a full blown cold.
Thank you for all the get-well wishes! FOR THE RECORD I don’t think I snore THAT much.
Sadly I was kicked to the couch again last night, and then ‘encouraged’ to move from the couch back to the bed once Mr X got up. I can’t win.
Allison: The picture is from http://www.faceyourmanga.com ! It’s really fun.
Leah: thank you for loving me enough to make sure I was still alive all those times!
Jamie, you are totally not a lazy blogger. Besides, your dogs are so cute they always make me smile!
I hope you feel better soon! My kids were healthy all summer long, and they’ve been back in school for ONE WEEK, and they are all sniffly and sneezy now. So the germs have invaded, and we won’t be healthy again until next summer.
In other news, yaaaay for reading Twilight! The first half of the book is a bit slow, but once things pick up, you won’t be able to put it down.
The latest blog stylings of GeekMom: Best coffee table ever!
I was actually glad I got the spoilers before I read the third and fourth Twilight books - with the first two, I got so caught up in the suspense that I read them way too fast trying to find out what happened, and totally neglected the rest of my life. I had my hub tell me the main points of the last two before I read them, and then I could slow down and enjoy them a little more (and have time for my laundry).
GeekMom: I’m about halfway, so I’m happy to hear that!
Fig: That’s exactly why I like spoilers for movies and tv shows. I can pay more attention to details and the aesthetics (I’m a film geek). Also, just made your famous cheese biscuits. Delish, evn got the seal of approval from the X-man!
I’m sick too so i feel your pain, but i have to suck it up and take care of my newborn and 2 yr old [=o( growing up sucks! haha
my hubby does the snoring and i just yell at him when he does it, i try and kick him to the couch but he never listens to me so he keeps me up all night and get no sleep at all, it’s a real pain in the bum!
Tim snores too, and I used to jab him in the ribs and push him away and turn him over, but one night I had a revelation and I started to pet his face and softly ask him to stop snoring and it worked!! I was just really, really nice to him and I still am. Tell X-Man to try that out. I just could never kick Tim outta bed ever though! I need his heat and his cuddles.

[...] I got kicked out of my own bed last night. [...]
Jeff snores too… I do as Leah does - pet his head and he stops!
I plugged your dad’s nose, until I realized that him not breathing would mean I had to do alllll the chores. And explaining to the police why…
I really keep meaning to get him checked out for sleep apnea.
