Dreams....

My dreams can be so weird. It's like "what generates this stuff?"

Some of the things that happen are so incidental... I had a dream that my boyfriend and I were driving somewhere with some friends, a married couple. The husband was trying to show my boyfriend something in his laptop, while standing outside next to the cars, and delaying our departure. His wife was getting irritated - 'it's not work time, put that away' like her husband couldn't 'turn off.' (Absolutely not true in real life, and he doesn't even have a laptop.)

So they start arguing at the cars, and it was just one of those moments, and I said 'come on guys... let's not argue.....' and we went about our day.

What is that? It is so insignificant, what is the point?

One I had a few weeks ago, could be a fun gimmicky product.....

Picture sitting down to your favorite magical fantasy book, with a drink... and an additive that you can put into it to enhance your reading experience like you are drinking some magical potion! it fizzes and pops and crackles. Some have flavors if you want, most are flavorless.

Dreams are so weird!

Contrary to popular belief....

I do not get into car accidents a lot. Weird things happen to my cars: people steal things from them, break windows, key the sides, etc. I have usually been the one to get hit, the 'hittee' not the 'hitter.' Well....

I hate ABS brakes. I had to hit them kind of hard yesterday, and the ABS released and sent me into the car in front of me.

her car... mostly okay. my car can no longer go on the freeway. the hood is messed up too much.

:( me sad

The lady I hit was great. it was like 5 mph, but because I was sooo close when it stopped, it surged into her from the ABS releasing and messed up the bumper on her car. we turned the corner, exchanged info. she works for the police department(yay me). she cracked a joke about sending her officers after me and i was like... deer in the headlights. she apologized. and was like just kidding! just kidding!

My car looks like crap. her car sat really high so it just shoved my hood in and now it won't open. i don't really care, as long as both of us are okay, uninjured, that is all that matters. Looks like it is going to be mostly painless. except for that lovely point on my record.

The worst of it is just that i can't drive it on the freeway, so i be a homebody for awhile.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Okay so I know, as most of us should by now, that the Omega-3s that you need are found in all sorts of fish products and you should be eating them. I am not a fish enthusiast. Shrimp, yes; fish, no. So... to supplement those Omega-3s I had been considering adding them in pill form as a dietary supplement. (I already do a bunch of vitamins, multi or otherwise).

I belong to a word-of-mouth advertising group called BzzAgent (you really need to check that out if you like trying new stuff - BzzAgent.com). My latest campaign was for New Harvest line of Omega-3 Fatty acid Dietary Supplement. Perfect!

I received my 7-day sample and took all but the last one. They work great, the capsule has a nice tasty outer skin. I was gearing up to take the last one while at work, when just as the phone rang I realized I did not have any water to take it with. So I answered the phone, with the capsule in hand. While I was listening to my customer, I had the capsule in my left hand and just kind of idly touching it to my tongue.

Can you guess what happened next? The outer capsule was so tasty, I kept doing that - kind of tasting the capsule with my tongue. It burst. Into the underside of my tongue. Fish Oil. While I was on the phone at work.
With a customer.

Do you recall when I said I was not a fan of fish? It was ALL I could do to not start dry heaving on the phone! Let's just say, it's in a capsule, leave it that way, take it daily as instructed, and you'll be fine.

Do not eat the oil straight - you will taste fish for an hour. :)

In the mood for Dr Seuss....

i could not, would not, on a boat.
i will not, will not, with a goat.
i will not eat them in the rain.
i will not eat them on a train.
not in the dark! not in a tree!
not in a car! You let me be!
i do not like it with a box
i do not like it with a fox
i will not eat it in a house
i do not like it with a mouse.
i do not like it here or there.
i do not like it ANYWHERE

i do not like green eggs and ham!!!!!

What can I say? I didn't write it... :)

Goodnight...

goodnight

there's a dog on the floor
talking on the phone
...and the TVs on

there's a phone in your hand,
dog on the floor,
and some cash on the nightstand

what should I do, little baby.
outside and dark, and i'm
...finally home now

Feeling morbid.....

Sweet Dreams

A Funeral Poem..... from Memories of Me, Billy Crystal 1988

Now's the time to go to sleep.
Time to slip away.
Time to say Sweet Dreams,
To the things that I love today.

Sweet dreams to the stars.
Sweet dreams to the breeze.
Sweet dreams to belly buttons that go in.
Sweet dreams to belly buttons that go out.

Sweet dreams to all the tushies in the world.
Little ones and the big fat ones.
Like the waitress at the bowling alley.
Sweet Dreams.
