The Surreal Life

Bergdorf Window #3, originally uploaded by emilyrems.

I was still a lil’ insomniac angst ball last night when LCF got home from work around 1 AM so he slipped me one of his Ambien and sent me to lala-land on the couch for a few hours before my early-morning dentist appointment.

Maybe you should get totally lost in limbo more often.

Yeah right. I’m soooooooo sure.
