thanks for the gifts–and the sleep
I got a late start writing my thank you cards for the wonderful gifts I received at my bridal shower because of all the traveling I’ve been doing. The weekend after the shower I was back on the East coast for a friend’s wedding and it took all of last week for me to recover from complete exhaustion. I’m still tired, but I’m functioning. I wasn’t at all last week.
On Sunday I wrote about 20 thank yous and last night I wrote 18 more. I probably have about 10 left to write tonight; I could have kept going yesterday but I ran out of stamps!
Perhaps running out of stamps was a blessing in disguise because it allowed me to go to bed earlier than I would have if I continued writing. I popped an Ambien around 10 pm and was out before 11 pm, allowing me almost 8 hours of sleep. That is approximately 2-2.5 more hours of sleep than I normally get. I know all of the benefits of going to bed earlier than I usually do, but I like staying up late. I’m like a child who gets off on going to bed past her bedtime.

You don’t expect a neighborhood pub in Omaha that you happen to frequent (although not as frequently as LB) to make it into a Wall Street Journal article on dream jobs, but sure enough…
Monique Huston actually has her dream job — and many tell her it’s theirs, too. She’s general manager of a pub in Omaha, the Dundee Dell, which boasts 650 single-malt scotches on its menu. She visits bars, country clubs, people’s homes and Scotland for whiskey tastings. “I stumbled on my passion in life,” she says.
Still, some nights she doesn’t feel like drinking — or smiling. “Your face hurts,” she complains. And when you have your dream job you wonder what in the world you’ll do next.
If you visit me, I’ll take you to the Dell.
(This is an old photo because Le Marche, one of my favorite shops in Omaha, is no longer in the small shopping center next to the Dundee Dell.)
