Losing My Touch

Not only have I been a lazy blogger, but I have also lost my well-known ability to pull all-nighters working.  I am going to blame last night's failed attempt on the preceding week, during which I never got more than 5-6 hours of sleep each night.  All-nighters are usually best executed when otherwise well-rested.  So, my bad for blatantly ignoring what I know is a cardinal rule.

After starting my day already exhausted, I only made it to 1:45am before my brain stopped working.  I was literally stuck on two thoughts/mental images and COULD NOT progress past them.  I wish I could remember what they were, because they were totally unrelated ideas and it was kind of funny.  I want to say that one was a woman who works at the IBM office who I don't know at all, and the other was something yellow.  Polenta?  No matter what I tried to think about, I could only picture those two things.  That's never happened to me before -- that sort of mental block -- but it was discouraging enough that I knew it was time to just go to sleep.  As a result I was totally unprepared for my meeting this morning, and while no one noticed, I was disappointed because I knew that I still had lots of questions but not enough information to ask them effectively -- I didn't know what I didn't know.  Weeeeeird.

At some point before I apparently went crazy, I snapped this picture at the office.  Check out the view from the 18th floor!  The Blackberry totally doesn't do this sunset justice.  It was gorgeous.



As for foodie news, you're just going to have to stay posted.  My camera battery is dead, so I need to charge it before I can even upload pictures.

Teasers:
- CTB.  Wegmans.  'Nuff said.
- Polenta, broccoli rabe, and shrimp
- Banana soft serve

I am supposed to run a 10K on Saturday morning, but at the moment I am too tired to even dream about that.  I better make some sort of major recovery tomorrow.  I haven't even been for a real run in like 3 weeks.  Yikes!  Actually, in true foodie fashion, I think the only reason I want to do it right now is the temptation of Buttermilk Channel brunch afterward.  Alex, now would be a good time to tell me if that is no longer part of the plan, because then I'm calling it a wash and staying home in bed!

Mmmmm bed.
