SLEEPING IN THE PRINCESS ROOM


***Big Brother Update***
It was fantastic last night with April leaving! She can't wait to party with Libra...right! While I still like Renny, her actions and bold moves, like asking Dan, Keesha and Memphis if they would be pawns was a bit unsettling. Right now Dan is my favorite to win. That can change, but I don't think so. Does anyone else notice the close alliance that Michelle and Memphis have? I don't know if it's apparent on the show, or just from watching BBAD. The both are up to no good. The Head of Household comp was long! I won't give it away because several of you get totally ticked, so you'll find out Sunday night....not a word out of my lips...ummm blog.

Before driving up to Temple, the city between me and Wacko, home of the Dr. Pepper Museum.... for my sleep study, I joined a couple of my fellow inmates here at the compound neighbors for a late afternoon swim. (yes I'm the queen of run-on sentences) We weren't in the water ten minutes when the sky took an ugly turn...



You've seen those "Life comes at you fast" commercials? Well, that's exactly how storms come at you in Texas!

That was my cue to get on the road and head on out to my sleepover. I arrived right at 7 PM, and was met by Gary, my technician.


He escorted me to my room...the Princess Room. The other side of the room had a dresser, TV and my very own thermostat for climate control, and a nice big private bathroom. The ceiling had a smoked glass dome that encased a 360 degree camera. Gary told me that he could not see me in the bathroom....like I trust him.

Yeah, like I was born yesterday......I guess he didn't see my Big Brother tote bag!!

After a snack of fresh fruit, and filling out paperwork, waiving my right to sue the Hospital or Gary if I got hit by lightning or electrocuted, I was wired.

Is this not the scariest creature you've ever seen on a blog? I had Gary take this picture in the event my next of kin needed documentation. I had a zillion electrodes screwed into my scalp, my face had about thirty thousand wires taped to it, and things were shoved up my nostrils. My inner thighs were wired...and I had a laser light on my right pinkie.

I had no problem sleeping. The mattress was part memory foam and I could have stayed forever. In the morning Gary brought me a croissant and a cup of coffee. I love Gary, so I'm going back in two months.

What have you gotten yourself into in that weird cowboy state???

First, those pictures of the sky were surreal....you know we dont deal with that in CA....the bug free, perfectly tempered state.

But, Im noticing a trend between you and random men. You spend hours with what's-his-face at the computer-gadgetry store, and now you are having some guy take pictures of you in bed on the first night?? He wired your inner thighs? Why? Why would he need to do that? and....that's just weird!!

Im sure he thought you were a real loon, having him take your picture like that....

and, dont they want to see how you normally sleep? With all those wires and things on your face, I doubt you are going to sleep as well as you would at home.

I had to do a sleep EEG once, on a narrow table, in the middle of a cold room, (so, no wall to lean against, I thought I would roll off.) and it had that hospital/table paper on the table, making crunching noises at my slightest move, and I had electrodes all over my head...I told them, Im not gonna get to sleep in these conditions, so this whole test is a waste of time.

anyhoo.....nice tote bag...

Oh my. Does Paul know about Gary? And on a brighter note, at least you didn't have the laser light wired to your inner thigh, that could have been a questionable move on Gary's part.

Nice pool - yet another reason I want to live in that compound.

The Princess room left a little to be desired. No stars hanging from the ceiling or drapey pink chiffon scarves surrounding the bed? I love that the bed had memory foam AND that you got woken up with a croissant and a cup of coffee. How delightful was that? I hope they find out some good information so you don't scare your grandaughter any more.

PS That sky was crazy! Wow!

Suzanne said...

I remember those Texas skies and the storms moving in. It is similar to that here in Florida, but we can see them coming a bit further away and that means get your Butt in the house for fear of lightening.
The sleep thing....I am positive Gary has a camera in the bathroom. You are going to be on you tube in a few hours....
Yes, the picture is scary, but hopefully they will find a cure for you.

Keeper Of All Things said...

wow!!!1 Your thighs were wired and a man brought you breakfast in bed?!!!
WTF?!!!!
Where can I sign up?!!

I spent a long time figuring out if those pictures were real or googled. Crazy.

Yeah I could never sleep with all that on my face especially since I'm allergic to tape and would have welps all over my face within a few minutes!

I was just going to post about pillows and sleeping so come give your expert opinion.

I really do need you to be a little more bold and take a picture of all these supposed guys you meet. They might be my future husbands!

Pleasing Procrasinator said...

Wow, did this storm just center around the compound?
Are you going back for more testing or is it Gary? Paul is going to start getting jealous.

Veronica said...

lololol GrandMa j you are full of adventures. I could not go to sleep with all of that on my face. Id have to bring my own pillow, blanket, and fan. And i might get a little indecent because I cant sleep in pants, shorts,, or long gowns. Hope the results turn out ok.

Sounds like you had a night full of excitement! Mine consisted of watching Big Brother and shaving my legs...exciting huh? I didn't get to have Gary wire my inner thighs or bring me croissants. Where do I turn in my official complaint?

Unknown said...

The sky pictures are real, untouched and taken about 2 minutes apart. They cover more than the compound, and the darkness got even darker by the time I hit the road. If I had fancy Photoshop, I probably could have made them more menacing, but I don't.

The thigh wiring had to do with RLS )restless leg syndrome.

Veronica, Gary told me that it's not uncommon for people to insist on sleeping nude. He said he's "seen it all". Gary is 66 years old, married and a sweet man. I don't take pictures of my men unless I can do it without getting caught.

Cortney you need to "fly" on down to your closest sleep study center. I believe they use paper tape...if you are alergic to that, they use super glue! :))

Hi Harvey!!!

haha...my immediate thoughts were what about Paul (& Nick)!

The room sounds nice and comfortable. I had way less info from my dad when he did that & my mental picture of it was rows of beds with people sleeping next to them being taped and surveyed by people. Didn't sound very sleep friendly to me.

Awesome storm pictures. I LUV storms. Hubby watched after dark..so I know who is HOH..you saw though it's double elimination on Thursday!! So excited!!

mom x 2 said...

I love storms! Until it knocks out the electricity and I miss BB! Which happens to be my most favorite show on tv right now! Dan is my FAV!

I'm such a cheater though and I read the spoilers :( so I know whats up! Wait till you find out!!!!!!!!

Unknown said...

Hollywood, I know! Not only Nick and Paul, but my lurker friend Harvey is rearing his head!

myseccondjournal, I can't wait for the double elimination either!

mom x 2, I watch BBAD late at night so I know who's the HOH too, and who has the POV, but I have to stay mum. Otherwise people get mad at me!

Unknown said...

OOPS! I don't know POV...that's tomorrow, and I wont tell.

CGS said...

I love that you were in the Princess Room...what's more, I love that they name the rooms. What other rooms were there? If you have to go back, you should insist on the Rainforest Room or Cabanan Room! =) Meg

jlo said...

The picture of you in bed is hysterical and it needs to be permanantly on your blog.

BB...Dan is my favorite too. He's playing a great game!! I watched BBAD just to see who won. YEAH!!

I am beginning to think you are a bit of a hussy!!! It's a good thing you are so cute!!

Hope you get some relief after your stay in the Princess Room. Could you sign my husband up?? Shhh. Don't tell him:)

Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly) said...

I'm so glad you couldn't see them watching you sleep! It sounds like you and Gary hit it off, even made a second date. That place is like a fancy hotel - fancy room names, fancy mattresses, fancy bathrooms, fancy food, fancy cameras, and fancy electrodes. Maybe they'll let you book a room for a long weekend or something.
