dream a little dream of me

So I suppose it is time for an update. I am going to touch on what Katie wrote about in her random things blog. Because I totally (like her) have had dreams that are so real that I thought they actually happened, or at least parts of dreams that are so real I have to ask people the next day if it really happened which makes me feel like a moron. Dreams are just fascinating to me. Last night I had a dream that was so vivid and detailed that it was awesome, but I didn't think it actually happened because it wasn't really a very realistic dream. I've always thought about starting a 'dream diary' where you write down what you can remember from your dream right when you wake up. Because although last nights dream was extremely vivid, now I can't even remember what it was about, which is why a dream diary would come in handy. 

Sometimes I think that dreams are a sort of way to help you work through issues or problems that you are dealing with in your life, but other times they just seem completely random. I've tried to force myself to think about a subject before I went to bed in hopes that I would dream about it, sometimes this plan has worked and sometimes it hasn't. 

So that is what I'm going to do, start a dream diary and see if it helps me to figure out how my mind works or helps guide me in some way.

my day

8:39 a.m. - Derek pounds on my door and tells me to wake up, because I asked him to do this so that I would be somewhat productive today.


10:44 a.m. - My cell phone rings the Bad Boys theme song and wakes me up.. It is my sister's friend who is calling so I am confused, yet I don't answer.


10:47 a.m. - I go pee then look at the two monsterous zits that have grown on my face over night.


10:51 a.m. - I sit down in the chair and use my new fleece tie blanket that i made myself over Xmas break! I turn on the Tv and listen to Real Chance of Love while checking Facebook/Myspace/Email.


10:59 a.m - Played Text Twist for a while


11:43 a.m. - Went to the bathroom (#2)


11:51 a.m. - Ate a banana


11:52 a.m. - Started talking to my sister on facebook chat


12:12 p.m. - I answered the door and a cute guy asked if i knew who owned the green pickup truck outside.. i told him i had no clue


1:01 pm - Answered the knock at the door. Package for myself and Derek, my package included the USB drive that I accidentally left at my mom's house over break


1:07 p.m - I realize that my USB is now here and I have no more excuses to not be productive today.


1:16 p.m. - I had a cigarette outside while wearing shorts, and its negative 10 degrees out... that was a bad idea. but this pack of cigarettes is my last pack!!!


2:12 p.m. - I emailed the Chief of Police in Burlington, Iowa to check up on his progress with the letter of cooperation he was supposed to send to UNI about a month and a half ago. 


3:14 p.m. - I head to the gym with Derek to get yelled at by him so he can get me in shape. (Derek has started a new work out program and is helping me get passed my weight loss plateau that I am at right now.. he is a Nazi and is making do a low carb diet too)


5:16 p.m. - Return home from workout.


5:37 p.m. - Ate chicken noodle soup, chicken, and peanuts for dinner with some orange juice.


5:38 p.m. - Started watching Sixteen Candles on TV while eating my din din.


6:58 p.m. - Hopped in the shower when Sixteen Candles was over.


7:16 p.m. - Started watching the premier of American Idol


8:00 p.m. - Called my mamacita and talked to her for about 15 minutes.


8:49 p.m. - Derek came back from the library, so now I have a real life person to converse with again.


8:51 p.m. - I DVR'ed Sixteen Candles for Derek because he has never seen it, so now I am going to watch the end again, then I will probably read while laying in bed and watching Sex in the City and start my snoozing. (p.s. Chief Luttenegger has not replied to my email yet)



Alright... the explanation for this post is that I haven't updated my blog in so long because I feel like I have nothing to blog about because my life is so boring. And when it isn't boring it seems like lately only dumb things have happened that I feel I would be complaining about. But after talking to JamFla I've come to the realization that it is my blog and I shouldn't worry about whining too much, I should just write about whatever I want to write about... so today I gave you the really boring play by play of my day!!
