I’ll admit, my dreams can be pretty imaginative. But the ones lately are really some show stoppers. First, I had a dream last weekend about my homophobe brother. I’ve had several about him actually. In each dream, he becomes more accepting of Rodney and me. In this dream, the whole family was here visiting us. It was a good dream. But one thing that stood out was a guest appearance by Rupaul. Apparently there were these mean dogs who roamed the neighborhood. They liked to run up and growl at strangers. So Rupaul was strutting along in some tight gown (in the street) and the dogs came up to her growling and showing their teeth. Rupaul clenched up her teeth and growled right back, scaring the dogs away. You go girl. In a separate dream on Monday night, I was driving through a neighborhood I was unfamiliar with. I started driving up a very steep hill and it was nighttime. I was in a convertible. The street ran right into Britney Spears’ pussy and I freaked out. Oh no! I don’t want to drive in Britney’s pussy. And since the top was down on the car, I certainly didn’t want to get wet. So I put it in reverse and went sliding back down the hill, safe from Britney.
Getting an unexpected lick on the cheek from your dog when you’re trying to take a Christmas photo in front of the tree… which turns into a silly, eyes-half-closed candid shot that you post on your blog instead. Merry Christmas.
And look… a BONUS blurry pic just for you! I can’t blame the dog.
I don’t take many tests online, but I have to give this credit for being the most difficult, most irritating one. It’s more difficult than you think. Good luck.
A lot is going on internally, and I’m trying to think of the most effective way to share it because I’m in a really great mood. For starters, I’m making some changes in the way I view my life. I have allowed way too much negativity to influence my character. If a person is looking for negative things, it’s pretty easy to find. Traffic, work, bills, bad customer service. You know the drill. Every day, I’ve allowed myself to be irritated by the bad things around me, but failed to focus on the good. It’s a slow process but I’m getting there. I hope that somehow I can send a smile to my readers too. There are a lot of great things that happen to us every day. They might not be earth shattering, but if we only focus on the good, life feels pretty amazing. Yesterday was really great. First, our bank sent us a gift card for gas. That was a nice gesture and it will come in handy. Next, the vet decided to delete a $40 bill that we owed. No reason, she just “loves Petey” as she put it. Again, a very nice gesture. These simple events really made both Rodney and me have a good day. And finally, I was on my way home last night, and almost had a wreck. I saw this large animals running across the highway. I thought it was a deer, but it turned out to be a very large dog. It felt like slow motion. The dog was right in front of my car. I knew I was going to hit him as I slammed on my brakes. He was too close, there was no way I was going to miss. But he made it, and I made it. Nobody was hit, no damage was done. I was really shaken by it. I don’t want to be in a wreck, obviously, and I certainly don’t want to kill a dog. But the miracle in that is that nothing happened. So I tried to focus on the positive. Last night, Rodney and I watched “Miracle on 34th Street” and we were both very inspired by it. It’s amazing that a film from 59 years ago still has the exact morals of today. Actually, every element of the film could apply to 2006. I’m glad we watched it. So that’s my bit of my optimism for the day. I’m excited for whatever today brings me, and I’m looking for the good in everything.
This is just wrong… Last night, I looked over and Purr Purr was sitting on the nightstand, drinking from my cup of water. I jumped out of bed, took the cup downstairs to wash it, and came back to bed. “What’s wrong?”, Rodney asked. “Purr Purr was drinking from my cup!” I said. “Um, yeah I told you she was…” he replied. “WHAT?! I thought you were kidding! Does she do it every night?” I asked. “Yes.” “Damn it Rodney! Why did you let me share a cup with Purr Purr every single night for the past 6 months?!” I said, getting very irritated. Long story short, I went to bed very angry. I shudder to think of where her tongue was right before she drank from it. I think Rodney should have taken more initiative. I think he should have made it clear that he was not kidding, and made sure I didn’t put the water out. If I knew it was happening to him, that’s what I would do. Further… I just know he is laughing about it. I think I will give the toilet a few swipes with his toothbrush.
Each morning, I drive by an elementary school. Like most schools, it has a sign outside where news announcements are posted for the week. The speed limit is 20mph so I always have time to read the latest school news. There are often activities that involve Mrs. Vest. I don’t know who Mrs. Vest is, but I’ve created my own character of her. I take her name literally, and imagine her having a fierce collection of vests. She and her husband, Mr. Vest, take their collection very seriously. I think she likes to wear a snazzy red plaid one, right out of the 80’s. Mrs. Vest has short, sandy colored hair and wears big glasses. She pulls her pants a little too high, past her belly button. She’s not a fashionable woman, but the kids love her. She’s a kind woman, but has a firm tone sometimes. Mrs. Vest gets things done. She’s active and involved, and that’s why she has meetings on a regular basis. She’s a good person. Isn’t it funny what we create in our heads? I have no idea what Mrs. Vest is like, but I have a whole mental picture of her. I do that with a lot of people, including my readers. I have an idea of what you look like, what you wear, how you act, even what you smell like. (I always pay attention to smell.) Have a good weekend, Mrs. Vest.
