Dream a little dream with me

Last night I had a dream that I was pregnant. It was really nice to feel pregnant in my dream. The rest of it is too hard to describe, but the guy (who I have no idea who he is) that got me pregnant wanted to marry me and he gave me a ring that was an old hand-me-down from his family. It wasn't beautiful, but the meaning behind it made it special. We were going to have our wedding a couple months after the baby was born, and I was scared to tell my family, but he gave me this huge hug and told me how it was going to be o.k.

It was nice to be hugged. I miss that in real life. But I don't miss how jack-assy guys are. Or how dumb they are. Or how frustrating they are. Or how superficial and shallow they are. Or how they never think of anyone but themselves. Or how they're only good in the first couple of months and then it turns to complete hell.

Yeah, I think this not dating until I'm 30 thing is going to work out perfectly for me!

Old Hags and Bags

Ummmm. 2 things.

Number 1. Justin's "girlfriend" -- or whatever the heck she is -- is freakin' old looking. My mother looks younger than she does!! And she has nasty, ratty hair. Her teeth are falling out and she smells. Not to mention the fact that they didn't wait for me to leave for Sunday school yesterday before they started doing it in my mom and dad's old room. She's a skeezy skanky ho. I don't care for her at all. Even Nathaniel thinks she's ugly. *shivers* I can't imagine what kind of diseases she has. Makes me want to puke!!!

Number 2. I checked my cell last night and saw that I had a missed call. The phone number was local, but I didn't recognize it so I asked my mom if it sounded familiar. She said it sounded like Such and Such Medical. Then she said to just look it up in the phone book, because she wanted to see if she was right. So, I did. Guess what that number is for? Ass Face's place of employment. What are the odds??????????? Seriously. I don't give out my cell phone number ever, only 10 or so people have it. And if someone called my cell by mistake, what are the chances that it was someone from that place? Creepy!!

Those are my two things. I'm still disgusted by Justin's old ho.

There is a miracle in every moment

I saw an old woman spitting while walking her dog this morning. It kind of made me laugh.

April sent me an awesome, hand made fall greeting card. So, thank you!

Speaking of April, I had a dream last night about me, April and Kristen. We were all sitting the in parking lot of a Wal-Mart or Kmart, something like that, but we were all talking. We had each just had *cough* sex. And out of all of us, April had ended up pregnant. Maybe we were sitting outside waiting for someone (Tony?) while we discussed what she was going to do. In my head I was thinking "isn't that her luck? her first time with this guy and she gets knocked up".

The moral of my dream? Please have protected sex!!!

Tonight we are meeting my brother's new "girlfriend". I use the term lightly, as I don't know exactly what they are (I just wrote yar!!). She's................wait for it..................thirty-five. She's freakin' older than my sister! I hope she's nice. She has 3 kids, so I guess he can fit right in with them. That makes her 10 years older than him.

Oh, well. Love is blind, ey?

If I was invisible

I had to laugh at this article I was reading online.....yes, I read the gossip every day. Because if I didn't, I probably wouldn't know what people were talking and joking about. But I've hilighted the best part...the last sentance. I got the article from MSN.

"Looks like Mary Kate Olsen may have had a passion for more than just fashion as she checked out the latest couture offerings in Paris last week. The New York Post says the teensy, septuagenarian-chic starlet got all cultural by engaging in some French-style smooching with an unidentified "scruffy" guy while hanging out at a hot spot. Not an unusual encounter for a 21-year-old in the City of Light, right? Alas, the story soon takes a bit of an apocryphal-sounding turn as the paper claims MK's "tall" suitor "pushed" her against a wall and "furiously made out with her" as their fellow patrons applauded. But wait, it gets even more French New Wave-y, as the clapping quickly turned into a standing ovation when the frisky twin supposedly wound her twiggy legs around her wooer. And somewhere, Uncle Jesse weeps."

So makes me laugh.

I feel so important.........someone from another district called me today for my advice on a document. I was impressed that someone would choose to get advice from me. It made me sit up a little taller in my chair. Oh, yeah!

Addictions and other such nonsense

Way back when, a friend of mine set up a myspace account for me. I was glad that she did it, because I never would have done it myself. I'm just lazy like that.

I never thought I would like myspace - especially after 2 old high school classmates made contact. (I never did contact them back.......and did I mention that I threw away my 10 year class reunion invite?) And I check it very rarely, it's too complicated for my little brain.

But, miracle of miracles, the past week has brought 2 other people back into my myspace realm. One is a friend of mine from high school that I just lost touch with. We hung out all the time my junior and senior years. And the other is a friend from college who moved our senior year to attend a different college. I cannot tell you how happy I am that both of them have made contact with me. I'm super excited to keep in contact with them. I must say that I was wrong about the evil of myspace. It's not as bad as I once thought.

And not to dwell on The Bachelor (for those of you who are rolling your eyes at me) but, last night the bachelor's twin (the bachelor is Brad, his twin is Chad......mom and I wondered why it wasn't Tad) switched with him to see if the girls would notice. All I have to say is that if you can't tell that the guy you're dating suddenly has different hair and teeth, you should be kicked in the head. Really hard. But this is why I love that show. Girls can be so stupid!!

And as for the weather - bring on the fall, baby! This is what I'm talking about!!!!

La ti da, ti da, ti da.....

So, I'm horribly tired today. And cranky. And all I want to eat is a piece of cake with the really sugary frosting on it. The diagnoses (per my mother), "it must be time for your period!" This is her answer to everything. Always!

I posted last week about a girl (she's 25) missing. It turns out she wasn't missing because someone abducted her. She just ran away. Now, while I do feel sorry for her that she felt she must run away, I'm pissed off. What if some day someone really goes missing and no one will want to help find them because of all these girls that just run away. That makes 3 from Wisconsin in the last year that I can recall. I guess the old story of crying wolf really can apply.

Tonight is my class....we'll see if the personal trainer says anything to me. I may give him one more chance - only given if his story is a good one. But I highly doubt it. I am not a good forgiver.

And speaking of not being a good forgiver, Nathaniel asked me this weekend why I didn't have a boyfriend. I told him many reason, one of which was that I'm bitter and mean. No one wants to date someone who is either of these two qualities, let alone both of them together. When asked why I feel this way, I said that it's basically because I'd rather not get hurt, so this is my defense mechanism. My mother replied that this is a horrible way to live. And while in some respects I do agree with her, I'd much rather be safe than broken hearted. I don't know how long it will take me to ever try to date again, but I do know that it is nowhere in the near future.

Well, I'd better go, I have a pain in my chest. Mabye I'm having a heart attack....which would really piss me off since I haven't had any good food (and by good food I mean junk food!!) in about 4 weeks. What a way to die....fat and eating healthy. Is there any other word for hell???

Confessions of a Blonde....

I hate people. I do. They are frustrating. They are not dependable. And just when you think that they're going to be beneficial in your life, you will regret it. And the sad thing is that you do need people in your life. What a lonely existence if you didn't have anyone. But I am so sick of dealing with people. Is there, or will there never be, a cure??

Mostly I'm mad because I was really excited about starting a weight loss program that was not only doable, but attainable. And I was excited to be working with someone who's job it was to help people like me who don't know the first thing about doing the health-smart stuff. And so (just like in a relationship) I got excited about it. But I should have known better.

I rushed to my appointment yesterday, changed and jumped on the treadmill for my 5 minute warm-up. No trainer. So, I walked for another 5 minutes, thinking he was late. No trainer. I kept walking for 25 minutes. No trainer. I. Was. Pissed. I grabbed my stuff and left.

So, after a lot of thinking, I've decided that I can do this myself. I'm mostly by myself anyway, so what is the big deal about this? What a jackass. I feel bad for the people who actually pay him (luckily this is part of my classes, so I'm getting it for free.....I guess you get what you pay for!!)

But in good news, the book I ordered has been delivered to my house, so I will spend the weekend reading. I can't wait!!

If only I were wiser.....

I've decided that I hate - HATE - turkey bacon.....especially when it is being cooked by my father at 5:00 a.m. Yes, that's right .... A.M.!!! I suppose I shouldn't really be upset. Today is his 56th birthday. He's getting older and I should treasure these years while I can. Except, it would be nice to do it turkey-bacon-less. Right?!

I got my hair done yesterday. I like it. It is a fall cornucopia of colors. A little red, a little brown, a little blond. Hopefully it will last until November when my friends will be able to see it during a visit to celebrate one said friend's birthday. Hmmm. I wonder who that could possibly be??!!

I train again tonight. I felt really good after my other workout, so hopefully I'll feel good again this time. As long as he doesn't push me too hard too fast and then I get all sore and achy and then I just won't want to work out.

Um, it's fall, right? Then why is it freakin' 80° outside? Hellooooooo! Me no likey the heat.

If I did what I really wanted..........

Oh, the joys of exercising!! I sat down with my personal trainer last night and he asked me what my goals were. My first thought was, "what do you care?" But then it hit me, this is his job.....so I told him what I really wanted. He did not laugh at me, but told me it was totally doable. AND it's doable in a year and a half....give or take. That means by the time I'm 30 (and ready to date again) that I could possibly be happy with my body. This makes me very happy.

Although, he did say that after a week or two I might hate him. I figure if I only have to hate him for a couple years, it's worth it.

Have I mentioned that my office is full of boxelder bugs? Yes. INFESTED!! They dive-bomb me and crawl all over everything. The other day I was typing and all of a sudden one was climbing down my bangs. It's just awful. I hope and pray for cooler weather because I can't stand them!!!

My boss was talking to me today about Unibrow's new wife. She said that she doesn't see how they could be married -- they didn't seem to fit, she said. I laughed in my head 'cause I totally know what she means. He just wanted to get married and took the first sucker who deluded themself into thinking he was worth it. But I'm just so glad that sucker wasn't me!!!

Well, I better get back to work.....although I'm all caught up!

Craptastic!

Ummmm.....blogging? What is this word that you speak of?? It's been so long since I've blogged!! I don't think anyone even reads my blog anymore. Maybe I should post a ghastly confession and see if it has any impact on anyone. Will I get any comments or reactions? Too bad I'm not creative enough to come up with something.

Last week, a kid from my town comitted suicide. He was only 20. I know his Grandma, she goes to our church. I feel so bad for her. I can't imagine being that desperate that the only way you could see to get out of it is to kill yourself. I feel bad that he had to live in such desperation.....

There is a girl from the town where I work missing. She mentioned to some coworkers yesterday that a creepy guy was following her. She went to lunch and hasn't been seen since. It's hard for a small community to grasp that something like this can happen to them. I pray for her family. She has a 2 year old child.

I'm working with a personal trainer tonight. I'm terrified. Mostly of having him watch me do stuff. I am the only one who should be able to look at me when working out....and I don't even do that!! We'll see how it goes.

On Saturday, I was grocery shopping and when I was leaving, this guy looked at me and waved and said, "Hello". I said "hi" back and promptly dropped my eyes and high-tailed it out of there. He was only probably 18, so it's not big deal. I wish I had the confidence to be flirty.

I am so glad that the Bachelor has returned to ABC!!!! You all know how I feel about this show, so I will not bore you with any of my musings!

*sigh*
