Dream Interpretation

Some people try to interpret dreams. I'm not one of those people. I don't really believe that just because you had a dream about fish means you or someone you know is pregnant, or any of that nonsense. BUT I have been realizing lately how much your everyday life and thoughts come into play during your sleep/dreams.

For example, last night I had the most odd dream I've had in a while. It was a lot of random stuff mixed together that all links back to either conversations or thoughts I have had in the past few days.

I had a dream I was walking through my grandparents backyard and noticed my dad was building, or should I say rebuilding, a deck that my Papa had built when we were younger. My dad said he was making improvements to add in a pool for my grandma (because Ghea can totally get around that well? ha). Anyways, this thought I'm sure came from the fact that I logged on yesterday and noticed I had a new follower (a shout out to the very talented carpenter/hunky handyman Thad). I checked out his page and saw some of his great work. It reminded me of my grandpa and all of his great stories he had from building houses, then I remembered the deck he built in their backyard so us kiddos had something to play on. & of course, my dad was involved because he learned from the best. Even though my Papa was my mom's dad, he took my dad under his wing like he was his own son.

I walked inside my grandparent's house after talking to my dad and notice dirt tracks all over their white carpet. This probably came from me thinking about purchasing Buster shoes to wear outside so he would stop tracking in dirt from outside when he plays in the rain. After entering the living room I notice an odd looking dog. It has a small head, a regular body, and tiny, short legs. This, I assume, came from me seeing a friend's dog for the first time and noticing how small its head was when compared to the rest of his body. Then, the friend mentioned that our dog, Buster, wasn't really fat, just really tall and had tiny legs so he looked fatter than he is.

After petting the odd looking dog, I heard scary music. I turned around to see Vincent Price walking through the front door. I started screaming in horror. He scares the crap out of me. I'm thinking this came from me thinking about doing haunted houses this year. As I turned to run away he kept chasing after me. I kept saying "I'm going to be late for work, I'm going to be late for work!" I looked at my dream clock and it was 9:30 a.m. Crap, I was late!

I suddenly woke up to realize it was only 4:30 in the morning, I was not late, and all of that crazy randomness was, in fact, a dream.

& to answer your question before you ask, I don't do drugs and I haven't drank in forever. so I have no idea what happened there!

Too much excitement!

There is so much going on today it isn't even funny!!!

First, I need to mention that today is not only Star's birthday, but Buster's 4th birthday as well. I am a horrible puppy mommy and friend. I totally meant to buy a cute music card and stick it in the mail for Star and get a nice big bone for Buster, but didn't do either of the two. oye!

Also, something I have been waiting for a full month for, that isn't really exciting to anyone but me, BULK PICK UP is this weekend! yaay! I am SO excited that I get to throw out a bunch of the shit (yes I said shit & I meant it) someone left behind...not to mention some of our old stuff that I have been going through. Robert has been forewarned and is even entertaining my excitement. I am SO excited about this.

Next, I have decided that my current car is going to be my car for as long as it runs. Robert & I have made so many car purchases, but this one feels right, for once. Robert even mentioned switching some things out for me (small things like exhaust, etc.) to make it run perfect. Other than the much needed oil change (okay, so the light DID go on this morning, bad bad Devin!), my car is the perfect fit for me!

Also, Courtney & Sarah came up with the CUTEST idea before I left, and I have not lived up to my end of the deal at all. I feel horrible for this. So, that being said, not only do I plan on finishing up with my end and mailing it tomorrow, I have also made so small purchases and plan on sticking those in the mail for the both of them as well, sort of as a surprise/sorry I suck so hard core. I'll have to take pics and post them. If it turns out like I am expecting it should be cute and a smash hit!

Last weekend, I caved in and saw Transformers 2 with Robert, even though I didn't want to. I can't say I liked it, at all actually. The first one was okay, this one.....not so much. Anyways, to satisfy me, he also recommended that we see The Hangover, which we did & I'm still laughing. It is a MUST see movie and a MUST DVD purchase when it comes out. This weekend is my weekend and I am trying to decide between The Proposal and The Ugly Truth. Robert agreed to both & I think at this point, I may take him up on that offer...

Last, and certainly not least, what I am MOST excited about this morning. I received a very unexpected text this morning from my friend Heidi. First, it was a surprise since the last time we spoke she didn't have texts. She was the first friend I made when I originally moved to Texas. She is a stay at home Marine wife/mom of two and I was unemployed. It was great, she is the sweetest girl ever. Then I had to move back home to keep our income stable so we kind of lost touch. When I moved back I wanted to get together with her but Robert told me she moved back home for a while to get help with the new baby. I was upset but understood. So this text came as a welcome surprise to me. Turns out she is back now as well. I can't wait to see her and for us to all hang out again. It was so nice & reminds me of the good old days!

Things are finally getting back to normal. I have cleared out most of the clutter in my house, in my mind and in my life. I am almost back to my happy self again and it is much thanks to my family, friends, and most importantly Robert. He never gave up on us or me.

Happy :)
