Growing up... if I'd wake up too early, my parents would tell me to "roll over and go back to sleep". People always ask if you've "gotten up on the wrong side of the bed" if you appear grumpy in the morning.
I had lots of bad dreams growing up... mostly about giants chasing me down the street... having to hide in the bushes to avoid giant detection... giants wanting to eat me and the neigbours... hiding under the truck because my sister had locked the front door and a giant wanted to smush me. There were some about giant caterpillars, some about giant sized stingrays...
the other night one of the giants came back... I had been cleaning a giant sized fish tank, when all sorts of things started to go wrong.. eventually I broke the neck of one person, and superman carried away the rest of the bad guys... but later, after super had left, I walked outside into the yard, and there was a man sneaking around the corner, gun in hand... I knew he wanted vengeance for the girl who's neck I'd snapped... I ran inside, only to discover my house was made of cardboard (not much to deflect the bullets) and the windows were floor to ceiling-saran wrap. The sheer terror that gripped me... I was sweating when I woke up... the only reason I woke up though was because I was screaming in panic for superman...
SUPERMAN!!!!!
SUPERMAN!!!!!

ego boosters
the past two days have done nothing, save inflate my head to a grandiose size- one which is quite unattractive.

my God given gifting
The day has been a tragic one. Many have lost their lives.
And, though the battle seemed as though it would never end, and the opponents many- the freedom that was won in this long and arduous battle was a release like none other.
The foes rushed in from all sides... they came in from the air.... they came from below. I thought that my own days were numbered. One bystander cried "I've had enough"!
There were decapitations and dismemberments.
There was the sound of smacking and whacking.
But in the end.... I remained.
Coffee in one hand, newspaper still on the table (albeit covered in limbs) I set my fly swatter on the table and asked Dave to sweep up the 28 wasps that lay at my feet.
Did I receive payment for my service? Did I receive even a free small coffee?
not so much
but I enjoyed it none the less.
:: The coffee shop had the door open this morning, for some reason the wasps just coming in... annoyed with owner-dave hovering around me with his swatter... I took over so he'd go away.

pick up the local paper
ok, the other night at work I'm hanging out with the boys watching 7th heaven, fighting back the tears.... lol, that happens in nearly every episode!
Suddenly, one of the guys.... let's call him "Fred" turns to me and says "WELL! you obviously didn't read the wednesday edition of the Northumberland News!"
Shocked and trying desperately not to laugh at the solomness of his delivery, I and the other staff ask him "why?"
To which, he replies while rubbing his nose (actually, it's more like he's trying to rub it off his face) "oh, I don't know"
and goes back to watching the TV.
"I forget"
as usual I lose ANY and ALL professionalism and nearly wet myself laughing at him.
a moment later he says "oh, it was about the dogs... there'll be a fine for the vicious ones"
I'm still not sure what that had to do with the fight and reconciliation between the Mom and Dad on TV.

if I could talk to the animals...
la la with the animals, play with the animals all day.
I had this music box when I was little that played that tune... I never did find out what all the words were, but I really liked it. When Little-Bits and I were ... little.... Dad's place of employment would throw a Christmas party each year. Santa even came to it. The parties were always in obscure places, old camps, dank halls, I remember one being in a school gym of sorts... but Santa would show up and hand out the gifts... each one wrapped and labeled "girl age 6" or "boy aged 4"... I got the music box there... it was a figure of a wrinkles dog on top... playing the violin. Wearing a top hat.
All that to say::
I want to go to the zoo

note::
I have nothing to say this morning.
Though I really wish that I did... the past 24 hours were quite uneventful. I didn't really go anywhere or do anything. Well, no, I went to work. And for work I went to the movies... saw four brothers.... don't bother to waste your money on that one. Although I did appreciate watching Marky Mark Wahlburg for 2 hours.
Then I went home... and played spider solitaire for 2 hours.
I think I may have a problem.
I even dreamed about it.
Thankfully I mean.... the grocery store nightmares were getting to be a little too much to handle.

time for new shoes
I went for my walk this morning and hobbled home... two random blisters formed themselves and now my feet are sad.
BUT... it was a great day for a walk, and my landlords are still away so that means I still have gardening to do.... and that, my dear friends, makes me HAPPY.
What else makes you happy Les?
Well, I was able to sit in on a rather interesting meeting last night- I didn't contribute too much to it, but it was nice to be included... and I'm pretty excited about what God is preparing people to do around here... pray that we'd be following His will... not making it up as we go- creating more work rather than just responding to the need. yeah... I think that's it.. nah.. just pray.
thanks Ninjas.
