Slept early last night for a change. I was conked out before 12 midnight. Sleep was ruined by a bad case of menstrual cramps though. After that I couldn't sleep anymore. I watched tv then played with the cat. I can't stop thinking about my doll and I'm super thrilled. So now I'm hyper because I can't wait to get him.
I'm so excited! My doll is about to be shipped. I still feel a bit sick to the stomach because of how much I just spent but I'm trying to think positive and use "The Secret" method.
