a pet peeve

one of the most miserable things i can think of is boredom.

boredom in my life and boredom in other people, like their personalities. i can't think of anything worse than being a boring person. how does this even happen anymore? i'm not saying every single person out there has to be an eccentric, rambling, looney, but hey, say something about SOMETHING that's interesting.

boo.

oh here you go, cal.

a few things have gone on around here.

1. dear universe: please, please, PLEASE right yourself again, this business of whatever has been going on lately is NOT pleasant. neptune in or out of my financial house (or matt's) needs to beat it or fix itself and soon. too many random ridiculous occurances have been going on that have made me scratch my head and wonder WHAT ARE THE ODDS that this is all happening at the same time. it's like, IS THE DUKE OF ASH GOING TO RANDOMLY SHOW UP AND WRECK THE HOUSE AGAIN TOO, WHILE WE'RE AT IT?

2. class at the U this fall is out. financially it's just not the right time.

3. vito snagged a woodpecker yesterday and brought it to the back deck door to show us. the thing was still alive and wiggling and matt somehow distracted vito to scare it out of his mouth, flying all crooked the hell away from us. poor thing. vito was of course pissed that his "kill" was taken from him.

4. i love the fall. i can't wait for a big delicious PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE and a shit load of mums on our steps and deck that i will of course finance with money that would be better spent on other things.

dentists and other unpleasantries

we went to the dentist yesterday, bub and me. it went really well, good reports for both of us but i was a little on edge during the electric scraping procedures. i had to tell her to stay the hell away from my upper two eye teeth because of the sensitivity. . .i almost gagged a couple of times during the x-rays, but all in all, not a bad visit.

the best part of it i think, was when i asked her about coffee and coffee stains on teeth. she explained that the tannins in coffee were actually a benefit for the mouth. . . why, i can't really remember right now, but then she added, "That's as long as you don't dump a bunch of milk and sugar into it. . . " What i said was, "OH no, I use any of that stuff. . . " What i WANTED to say was, "Oh no, I TAKE IT BLACK. LIKE MY MEN."

i dreamed about boiling live chickens in water the night before last.

then also, a regular customer from starbucks and her daughter in either k-mart or target.

also that i left the kids at home alone to go somewhere, thinking matt or leah would show up and it wasn't that big a deal. they may have been sleeping, i can't remember.

seriously.

craziness in my dreams

my boss was unhappy.
he became my mother who was also unhappy.

i was disturbed at how unhappy my mother-boss was
and so my aunt and i staged an intervention

then the mother boss became my old previous boss.
who was yelling at employees in chinese.

updates.

I just the whole week off. It was quick and very enjoyable.
We hit Lake Harriet yesterday morning and the State Fair today. It was relatively painless but the kids
were worn out for the rest of the day. Bub actually fell asleep on the couch at 830pm.

I created a new blog, for the parental items I seem to have so many of. . .
for anyone who's interested, it's www.ThatChickwholikestoProcreate.blogspot.com

Freddy Rodriguez is fricking HOT. Even if he's a little short (as in -er than me).

very telling.

you can tell EXACTLY where i am in my "cycle" by a few things actually, but if i'm ever confused, all i'll have to do is go back through these blogs and see what i was dreaming about. if there are hot man dreams, i am waxing toward ovulation. bitterness or mother issues? heading toward surfing the crimson wave.

last night beebins FINALLY slept decent. i was THRILLED. however, when she did decide to wake up at 5am i was seriously right in the middle of a Clooney dream. I haven't had one in a really, really long time. it wasn't major it was just that i was going to get to watch a screening of ocean's 13 with him on his laptop on the floor of his hotel room. oh, what could have been!!!

some discomfort

two things. both involving high school chicks from back in the day.

1. one has to do with a friend request on facebook that i am unsure of how I will respond. . .
this after blogging pretty explicitly about my "issues" with said person, how I should at least try to remain honest about my
feelings about this person. . . honesty is all i have right now, since i clearly have no money or status or power when it comes right down to it. i don't want to deal with it. . . .i may just disregard it. . . forever. . . (!)

2. i dreamed last night that a family of a friend of mine (nameless) moved into our old house at 1315 w. fairview avenue. the dream was that instead of the ehlers buying the house, this family did. i was super SUPER pissed about it since the house and property and all the things (blood, sweat, tears) my parents put into improving it were completely ignored and they just went in there and started bulldozing shit and making it all gaudy and "new modern" carmella soprano style with a bunch of disgusting faux-artistic CRAP. charlie and i barged in, probably illegally, to see what had gone on inside and there were random, gaudy fireplaces, horribly ridiculous hanging art pieces everywhere, etc., etc.

i don't mean to sound snotty about the artistic/cosmetic things people do to their houses, but let it just be known that anything done to modify the 1315 west fairview house from its last remaining condition from when we lived there will of course be met with UTTER DISDAIN, be it in a dream or reality. i am this girl with a steel trap memory, i will remember EVERYTHING THAT EVER HAPPENED, ever. by messing with my (old) house, you are messing with my memories, which are equal to a money hungry person's millions of dollars accruing millions of dollars in interest. these are the things that i have, these things are MINE.

this dream was disturbing because instead of some random couple getting the house, it was displaced onto someone i actually know and had spent time with in high school (and am still in contact with today). jealousy issues never dealt with? perhaps.
