ugh.. I need help.. (ok not really) I went to the toy store in town during lunch, and bought $50.00 worth of beanies and jingle beanies.. *hangs head* Actually Im starting to overwhelm myself with beanies at this point. I filled a half wall in my house with beanies inside beanie boxes (so it looks like those fake glass cubes .. kinda) the opening is just about filled up.

there's also a guy a work now who reminds me of someone I know on line.. Ive never met him in person (despite trying ;P@tom) but what I do know of him, this guy at work reminds me of him.. Keeps freaking me out.. I have to keep telling myself that there is no way on earth that its him, and to just let that mental connection go..

man im tired... im so glad its friday.. I need to go home and rest.. I do technically have plans this evening.. but I would put money on the fact that it isn't going to happen.. cause it almost never works out.

*yawn*

Ok.. had one freaky dream last night. there was way more before the part I do remember.. let me start off by saying in RL I have a hamster. She's small, and white, and named jubbie. she's very sweet, and precious, and I got her for christmas.

In my dream, I dreamed that someone had taken her.. a guy. I don't know who he is, but he reminds me of a charater on GL named Edmund. Anyway, he was ticked off that jubbie didn't like him, so he stole her, and took her outside, and stuck her in a crack in the wall, and started 'steaming her' running very hot water near the crack so the steam would reach her. I was livid and pissed, and I went back inside the store/house because I couldn't get the guy to stop. Inside was his mother standing next to some other guy. I told her to make him stop, but she wouldn't.. so I took jubbie's cage and threw it at her, and it landed at her feet.. I ran back outside, and I grabbed the guy, and started whaling on him.. really smashing him to bits.. the guy that was standing next to his mother came out, and pulled the edmund guy off me we stood there for a while looking at each other, when tom hanks came over and stood next to me, then others stood behind me, and everyone started fighting. I broke away, and ran for jubbie. I tried to gently take her out of the crack in the wall, but she apparently was hurting, and didn't like being held, because she wiggled out of my hands and fell down into a crack under the wall, where she scrabbled off. I didn't mind one bit, cause I KNEW she'd come back.. Tom Hanks was talking to me about what this had been all about, and I was explaining how he was hurting jubbie, and Tom was upset jubbie ran under the wall.

and that's when I woke up.. I went to see jubbie later that morning.. she's so cute.. I just wish she wasn't an albino.. I don't like red eyes..

well I had a shitty day yesterday (you can tell cause when its really bad I start swearing)

The dinner with the folks went ok.. ben was cute as usual.. Mark told a story of when he took ben to the doctors (he's three btw) and it was a new doctor, a woman doctor.. and she was examining him and she ended up touching his penis. He told her that she had touched his penis, and she said she was sorry, and said she wouldn't do it again.. Ben replied, "That's ok, do it AGAIN!".. giggle. even at three they know what they like.. lol

so then we get home, and there is no eletricity.. someone had forgotten to pay the bill.. and no.. that's not my responsibility. Im assuming they shut it off early in the day.. Im so beyond peeved. This isn't the first time its happened. And it isn't like he doesn't have the money to pay it, he just doesn't get around to doing it.. it is sooo infurriating.. even now I just want to go hit something.. (yup.. Im a violent one when I get pissed) all the food in the fridge and the freezers is starting to go, I could smell it. Even now the power isn't back on.. I so hate the eletric company too. They didn't give us a warning... and three hours into the day the power is STILL not back on.. (we went out last night and paid the bill).

I also bought a couple of gallons of water so I could wash my hair. I NEEDED to wash it that morning, but I was running late... so I was going to wash it last night.. but low and behold.. that wasnt to be (the house is on well water.) and even though I bought the warmest feeling water, and put it next to the car heater for the drive home, it was still FREEZING..

*just checked, they turned the power back on now.. geeze*

Anyway.. freezing water, only two gallons, so I didn't even get to condition it.. with out a curling iron, I couldn't curl it.. I feel like a mess. Im sure I don't look like one..

and to top it off.. i left my purse in his car, and there was no food in the house.. so im broke, and im hungry
*yes.. this is one big pitty party, but I deserve it.. so :p*

and did I mention Im coming down with a cold?
and I broke my nice long thumbnail.. waaaahh..
and Due to not having power, I missed enterprise and the west wing last night..
*hides under a blanket*

sucks to be me today..

I knew Id remember at least part of that dream when I went to bed, and I did.. it was of a friend coming up to me and either asking me to clean his ears, or to clean my own with hygrogen peroxide.. My mom used to do that to me when I was little.. have me lay on my side, and put a few drops in my ear canal to fill it up and let it sit for a bit.. NO idea where that came from

had another weird dream last night.. and go figure, now that I have some time to write it down, I can't rmember it..
grrrr
it was freaky.. :( oh well.. I'll probably remember it tonight when im tucked in bed.. that happens to me.

I think im coming down with something again.. My head was absolutely clogged when I got up this morning.. and im still feeling quite out of it now at 4pm.. although that might have something to do wtih the stimulant I took to try to stay awake.. my heart is totally racing.. *shakes head at self*.. just a reminder to everyone.. don't take herbal suplements to stay awake with a highly caffienated and sugared soda - NOT a good idea.. trust me.

Sister and her hubby and the boy are coming down to the 'rents today for dinner.. Im heading over there after work. Its nice my sister is a little closer now.. she's lived four hours away since.. since.. she graduated college.. even in college she was 3.5 hours away.. lol. now she's about an hour.. which works out better for her (free babysitting by the 'rents) and us... although she's not up in ellsworth anymore so we don't have a good supply of the rolls that come from a bakery up there.. they are wicked good.. oh well..

leaves are seriously turning here.. got an orange tree outside my window that's almost painful to look at cause its so bright. We had a rainshower this afternoon.. produced a very bright rainbow.. and for a while it was even a double rainbow... very pretty.

ugh.. im just filling space now cause frankly my brain left work about 15 minutes ago.. (shhh don't tell TPTB)
Im going to go so you don't have to listen to me ramble..

till tomorrow.. or whenever.

I was off reading another blogger and was reminded of a dream I had. Don't you just love it when I write out my dreams for you to read?

I was at home.. but not my current home, the one I grew up in. 99% of the time I dream about that room, although my current bedroom is very similar to the one I grew up in.. Anyway.. I had a laptop (something I didn' t have growing up) and I was connected to the hub for a cable connection (something I want to do in RL) and I wanted to surf around ebay for a christmas present for my mother (something I've thought about doing in RL but haven't). I got frustrated with the laptop for some reason and gave up, and went out. I went to the local library.. I took out a book.. (no I don't know what it was, but I have wanted to go borrow the first harry potter book so I can read it) and guess who was my librarian.. you'll never guess.. honestly.. it was John Cusack... why i have no idea..

This is one of the few times my dreams have been so linked to my real life. I still wish I knew what the dream I had of getting on a school bus, and going ice skating meant. or the one where an alien space ship came to town, and all the lights went out, including the stars, and the moon, and THEN the lights refecting in an owl sitting in a tree.. until the ship went by, then they came on, in reverse order that they went out.

the weekend is over :(

oh well.. back to the grind that is what I do to get paid.. I suppose I really can't complain, I mean how many people do you know get paid to sit and surf the internet all day? Well I do a little work.. but the department is so slow now a days, that for the most part of my day Im surfing, building web pages, and generally goofing off. and for this they pay me. Go figure. but honestly I wish I had a job that was a bit more challenging. Most days I go home feeling like my brain has turned to jello from unuse (which is why im playing with html and java scripts now)

I asked the local paper to put an ad in the classifieds on friday to sell my car. I did it via the internet.. which was kinda lame, cause all they did was turn around and call to verify info. Actually the really lame part was I told them the best time to call was at night (when we're home) and what did they do? they called during the day.. *rolls eyes* I can't stand customer service representitives that can't follow simple directions, and frankly aren't actually servicing the customer as much as the business. Now granted, they do have to bear in mind the company's needs.. but come on.. (all of you with recent bad customer service experiences knows exactly what im talking about.. and its very very prevelant in the company I work for where they have decided that if they build a product, they (the customers) will come, regardless of how expensive they make the product. Which is why im getting paid to write this entry.

I cleaned over the weekend. Its always a riot when I get into a cleaning mode. I pumped myself full of benadryl (and yes, it is a full 54% more effective than the leading perscription.. trust me on that one) I cleaned off the headboard and my night stand, and the computer desk, along with the general mayhem that is the living room. Its amazing how much stuff I at one point decide I need, but later on figure out is really just trash. I do need to rearrage the house and get some bookshelves or something, cause the house is way too cluttered. Im storing my photograph books in the coat closet for goodness sake. Things should get better when we finally renovate the downstairs bedroom, and fix the leak in the bathroom (which is above the downstairs bedroom) I won't use it until we do. the mold from the leak is enough to kill me if im not careful. I wouldn't even go downstairs until they ripped open the ceiling and removed the rotting pieces.

the dust in the bedroom was starting to form dust bunnies... Which ticks me off cause I have a humungous HEPA filter in there. Seems the filter just brings the dust into the room and that's about it. Its located next to the TV and VCR, and both of those get covered with dust frequently. Im seriously considering getting the new ionic breeze from the sharper image. New they go for 350$.. I can get one from ebay for 150$ and one from the sharper image auctions for about 150$+. I know someone who bought one, I should ask him how that is working out for him.. *goes off to email* Not that I think he'll respond or anything.. *mumbles for a few minutes*
