72 Down 12 To Go

Been running my hinney off since Monday and now just want to pass out.

That's One Possible Solution

Crazy busy week, sleep completely optional.

Of course If I put the book down I might get a tad more shut eye :-)

YAWN!

It's been a long week and to be quit honest all  I want to do is sleep for a week (yes I know it's only Wednesday )

Sleep Book

I'm off to bed and maybe I'll just stay there for the rest of the day... Happy Reading Evereybody

Dreaming Of Books

A wee bit on the tired side today, was at the station two nights in a row, but man do I love every second of it.

Dreaming of Books

I cannot find a source for this picture, if anybody knows who the artist is please let me know. Happy Reading Everybody!

100 Year Sleep

I am absolutely exhausted and there is no end in site for at least the next four weeks!  Sometimes when I feel like this I have the urge to prick my finger on a spindle and see if I can't get myself 100 years of sleep like our friend Sleeping Beauty.  I think that is the amount of sleep it would take at this point to feel finally rested, on the down side I bet I would have horrible morning breath :-)  Since 100 years of sleep is not on the schedule I will instead share some of my favorite versions of this tale in hopes that I can get some sleep vicariously.

Spindles End

A whole new twist on the Sleeping Beauty tale.  All the characters are fleshed out and we get to live the whole life of our heroine princess turned peasant.  The ending is a bit Huh? but over all one of my favorites (note to self, reread and ramble)

Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep

An extremely humorous take on this classic tale.  For being such a short little book, it packs a lot of punch, recommended for everybody!

Beauty Sleep

This is part of a series of hit or miss retelling's of all the classic fairy tales.  This Sleeping Beauty retelling is actually quit good.  The love story aspect of it is particularly well done, especially since 100 years really does pass.

Briar Rose

I have mixed feelings about this story, which is less a retelling and more of an allegory.  The biggest part was I wanted more of the fairy tale to be in the story, but that being said it is definitely worth reading and inspired further research on my part.

Enchantment

This may be one of my favorite retellings of all time.  The way the author combines history, magic, and great writing make this a classic for any lover of a good tale.  This is another book that had me running time and again to the computer to look up characters and tales mentioned, and yet it is still seamlessly blended into the  classic Sleeping Beauty tale.

Hopefully reading some of these books will help me feel like I've gotten sleep through osmosis.  I suppose I could try and get some extra sleep by putting my book down...hahahaha I crack myself up sometimes.

What is your favorite tale of sleep? Are you a morning or night person?  How bad would you have to pee if slept for 100 years?

Sweet Snuggle Dreams

Had a long last night last night.  Every time I would try and go to bed the tones would go off and I was up on another call...and all of them involved some extensive lifting (why does everybody have to live on the fourth floor?).  All I want to do now if fall into a nice fluffy bed...kind of like this.

Pillow Book

This work by Vladimir Kush is just so comfy looking. I love the colors and the concept and really just want to crawl under the covers in my very own book bed.  Check out his other stuff too, it is pretty cool.

Books and Sleep

Have not been sleeping so well lately...at least I'm finally getting some of my books finished :-)

Book Dreaming

What do you do when you can't sleep?  Is reading an acceptable substitution for sleep?  Does reading when you are so tired give you weird dreams?

Sound Asleep

Between the Olympics and Duty nights at the fire station sleep has not been a frequent visitor.

I'm also behind on my reading, maybe if I sleep with my books it will absorb into my brain?
