Heading to The Big Apple...

It is 2am. I can't sleep. My brain is too full. Too full of lists. Lists of things that I must get done before I leave for NY. The weirdest thing is, instead of the list getting shorter as I get closer to my trip, it seems to somehow be getting longer. So tonight, although I went to bed at 11pm, i woke up at 1am with my brain going over and over all the things I need to do tomorrow before we leave on Tues. morning. I just decided to get up, have a bowl of cereal, and type up the list of things to do, so maybe my brain wouldn't be so full anymore and I could sleep.

The list is done. But here I am, still awake. SO, I'm blogging. Blogging about not being able to sleep. Maybe one of my sleep issues is stress. I always stress out before I have to fly anywhere. The whole experience of flying is SOOOOOOO stressful to me. Starting with making sure you have packed correctly, so that the airlines won't:

A. Break something
B. Make you leave something behind because it's not packed correctly
C. Ruin something
D. Lose something
E. All of the above

Then after the packing issues, I always feel like I'm going to over-sleep and not get to the airport on time. THEN, just being in a airplane for a claustrophobic like me is hard to deal with. So, until I land in NY on Tues. afternoon, I will be a mess. And I probably won't be sleeping much either... Give me a comfy tour bus ANY day over flying. Unless, of course it's a west coast run... -grin

OH! Just in case you are wondering what I am doing in NY..... I will be on the "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" show on Jan. 14th with Patty Loveless. It airs at 10:30pm CST on NBC. You may not SEE me on the show, as just being in the band certainly does NOT necessarily give you any airtime, but if you are up, tune in and watch us anyway!! On Jan. 15th, we will be playing the Allen Room at The Lincoln Center. I will, of course, try to update this little blogspot with pictures and interesting tidbits of our trip along the way. It's never dull with the PL gang... someone's always doing something silly in that bunch!! LOL

Ok... i'm going to put on one of my hubby's History Channel shows. That should put me right to sleep. "Civil War Journal" is my Ambien.

Hope you all have a great week!!!!
