Ok, so, on Monday night I got no sleep, it wasn’t that I couldn’t sleep, I could sleep, however when I would fall asleep I was having the strangest dreams.
I was dreaming the apocalypse was upon us, in all dreams that was the recurring theme. So in dream number 1 the end is imminent, Jess calls me and says “listen, the apocalypse is coming and I need to run some errands, come over here and watch my dog.” So of course, being the good friend that I am, I go to his house to watch his dog. Now this is no ordinary dog, it is huge, pure white with green eyes. While Jess is gone on his end of the world errands it begins to rain, rain is too mild a word, it was torrential. The dog runs out and will not come back in, I have to go out and get soaked trying to get this beast back in the house. I wake up before I can convince that animal to come back in.
Dream b, it is the end of the world, I decide I am going to Bonham, so I tell the Irishman “listen, it’s the end of the world you go find your kids and be with them I am going to Bonham.” So I load up the car with canned goods, blankets, pillows and my shoe collection. Oh and dog food, I put Nacona in the car and we go to McKinney and get Jeffrey, Alex and Tessa. Off to Bonham we go, the roads are congested and it takes us over two hours to get there.
When we get there I tell Elizabeth I am taking the bedroom off of the kitchen and Tess decides she wants to stay with Gigi. Then I inform Elizabeth Anne I hate the outdoors so I will do all of the cooking. I wake up at that point, I guess we were going to live off of pancakes. I don’t know what my great cooking plan was, these dreams were so weird. I think I am watching too many shows about the end of civilization as we know it. Reading too many books about it, I don’t know, but I know last night I slept and don’t remember anything I dreamed about, so it is all good today.
Disclaimer and Revolution Review
Before I do anything I have to print a disclaimer, yesterday I said I believed the last great men were my dad and grandfather, well I have to add another to the list, my BBFF, yes Jess. Jess is loyal, faithful, an amazing friend, and I believe will be a terrific husband to some lucky woman. Applications are currently being reviewed, not by Jess mind you, but by his sister and myself. She gets final word, however I do believe I get input.
Ok, so, Bones was back with a bang last night, what a wild ride, the bad guy was caught, then not so caught. I can only wonder what it means that the FBI agent picked up the flower at the end. Questions answered, questions abound, gotta love it!
I watched the new show Revolution last night, it is on NBC, it caught my curiosity as it is a JJ Abrams offering. I have to tell you, it is going in the DVR rotation, very well done, loved the premise, very curious to see what is going to happen. It sucked me in from the get go, the only thing that bothers me is how fast vegetation overtook the planet, it only appeared 12 or so years passed since the lights went out, no electricity, no cars, nothing, everything rusted so fast. Perhaps that will be explained, perhaps not, I look forward to the journey.
Well folks Tuesday is upon me and I must finish dressing for my day, till tomorrow, happy trails to you!
Summer Fun
Well it was another jam-packed weekend, Friday Tessa was supposed to come spend the night, however she was not feeling very well, so she was not able to. So I pick up the Irishman’s girls and they play until bed time, then the next day it was the pool for some water and sun fun. The amazing news came that Tess was all better and able to come and spend the night Saturday night. What great news! She came and the three of them had a grand time, playing outside with bubbles and chasing not one but two squirrels up a tree. Tessa is absolutely convinced that she is going to capture one for a pet one day.
Then it was bedtime and Sunday morning it was off to Target to get a swimsuit for Tess then fun in the sun and water. 4 hours of fun, thank goodness for SPF 50, the Irishman’s children are still pale and Tessa is a nice golden brown. With Italian and Native American heritage, well she is going to be able to tan to a golden brown without burning.
Not much sleep last night, Sunday nights are hard for me in the sleep department, it is ever allusive until around 1 AM, then I fall deeply asleep only to be awakened by the soothing tones of Andrea True Connection. Jarring is what it is, I so badly want to sleep, however I will not get that until tonight, then I will be out like a light.
This week will be a busy one, as Jess has me working on my day off, someone tell me why I did not choose the install time for the UVerse??? I could have done that without asking him! I could have chosen a later time, oh the woes of being a good friend!
No Internet Weekend
I did it, I went 24 hours with no internet, it was hard, I am not going to lie. Especially first thing in the morning, I read the comics and Dear Abby online, that is how I start my day, however, yesterday I did not get to. I did make the Irishman bring me a newspaper, I accessed the old fashioned way. He said the hardest part was when his soccer team won and he couldn’t brag about it, and when the man at the bar hit on him. He couldn’t even text me about it, since he is the one that said no text messages. Serves him right, since he came home and then slept all day. Yes, I believe he cheated because he was “sick” so he slept all day. Avoided temptation, is what he did. Ok, so he was actually not feeling well, but still, I went to Costco and Target and couldn’t even tell anyone where I was.
I would also like to say thank you to Jess and Elizabeth Anne for bombarding me with messages I could not read. I resisted the urge to even look; I did call them and ask them what was so all fired important. Nothing, nothing was important!
I have to admit it was kind of freeing in a way, after a while, I didn’t have the urge to look, to see what everyone was doing, to see if I was missing something. I think I will unplug every once in a while just to regroup. I caught up on my TV watching, I read a book, which is something I love to do, it was nice. I did miss the Stylization on Ruelala, which was sad for me, but Elizabeth Anne sent me a text this morning saying I didn’t miss anything. What a relief!
Watched another episode of GCB, I am really loving that show, it is so spot on, everyone who lives in the Dallas/FT Worth area needs to see this show. Oh who am I kidding, all Baptists need to see this show, it doesn’t matter where you live, this show is spot on. Watch it!
Can Men and Women be Just Friends?
Can men and women be friends without the physical getting in the way? That is the question that the movie When Harry met Sally asked and seemingly answered, however, the answer was erroneous. Because their answer was no, my answer is yes, if, and only if, there has never been anything physical to begin with.
Take Jess and myself, best friends, for many years, we have proven the rule, men and women can be friends, but remember, we have never dated. So rule proven.
I do not believe that men and women can be friends if they have dated or had a physical relationship. There will always be something there, a hidden joke, a look, an untoward message, a wink a nudge. It is disrespectful to your current relationship to keep these men or women around. Get rid of them, you will never be just friends if you have seen that person without clothes on. It is a fact, and a proven one, look at the movies, read Dear Abby, look at Facebook and any dating website. If you are keeping these people around you are asking for trouble, or else you cannot commit. If you cannot commit and get rid of the unseemly people in your life then you need to say goodbye to the one you are dating.
That is the way I feel, that is the way I have always felt, this is nothing new with me.
It has been on my mind a lot lately due to the avenues that Facebook opens, it is so tempting to see what your old boyfriend/girlfriend is up to, and why not be friends. Well for just the reasons I have outlined, if you are in a current relationship it is disrespectful to the person you are with. If you are single and they are single go for it, see what rekindles, see why you broke up in the first place. I guarantee the reasons are still there, whatever they may be.
I know for a Friday this is a deep subject and I am sure to get some backlash and perhaps some support for my view, either way I welcome all comments.
I hope you have a good Friday and a great weekend!
