Dreams of the Outback

Today, I woke up around 12:15. I had a bowl of frosted flakes for breakfast. Lately I've been having reoccurring dreams that I am in some type of forests or campground. If I am not in a forest I am in some far off land. This time specifically, I was in the country of Australia. Because I have been dreaming so much lately, I have been having various discussions about them with my family members. My little brother thinks that our dreams are based in reality. I didn't know whether I believed his theory.

Today however, his theory was proven right. I downloaded a free iBook called The Boys of Summer. It is about a young girl named Tess and her two friends, it also happens to be based in Australia of all places. So now, I am learning all about the landscape of the country as well as some of the slang terms used. I think it's going to be a good book because I've already read the first 55 pages. The descriptions I've been enough that it makes me feel like I'm there. Aside from purchasing the iBook the other highlight of my day was watching this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy.

The episode made me laugh, cry and left my jaw metaphorically on the floor. Thursday night is once again becoming one of my favorite times of the week. I was talking about it with Cheryl and I cannot believe that this show has been going on for 10 years. I followed it religiously for quite a long time and I am once again becoming a super fan. It is hard for me to wrap my brain around all the new cast members but I'm getting there.

The End of The Bucket List

Noah finally reached #99 today. The reporter and photographer from the local paper had just left, when I arrived. “ The basket hit the ground safely, I see.”             “Yes,” he replied. “As you predicted, it would have been more fun with my Emilee. All the couple I went with wanted to do was swill red or white, and talk of his promotion. Emilee would have squeezed my hand lovingly and talked about the beauty of the countryside.”             “Well, Noah…They all can not be your Emilee. She was one of a kind. What’s next? I was there at the beginning when you had me write the blasted list.”             He was sitting on the edge of the bed when he looked over at me. Tears rolling down his wrinkled cheeks. “Ah, my boy, I wish I had more time on the clock, more things to tick off.     ...

Day six

Today I saw my taco explode after just one bite, all of it falling onto the plate in a heap of cheese, meat and lettuce. Yesterday I saw all three parts of the same Christmas movie at different times. It sounded like a mixture of infomercials and jingle bells. If you looked inside me you would see someone who is self-conscious and insecure, even after 27 years on this planet The five things I saw that no one else saw The inside of my eyelids The lint on my dress The game boards on my bed. My faded pink nighty on the floor. Tooth picks on the doorframe The most beautiful, terrible thing is the failures and inadequacies of technology

Celebrity Name Game

When mom met me up this morning, she was asking me which celebrity was my favorite, you know favorite female actress or male actor. It reminds me of a one, of one of those  party games that are meant to catch you offguard guard. She asked me a bunch of other questions, I answered accordingly. At the end of the game and after I was done using the toilet and eating breakfast… I wished that I would have been able to come up with better responses.  I think I said Jim Carrey and Julia Roberts. Looking back however, I would have changed my answers. Jim Carrey would have been a contender but Matthew McConaughey would have knocked him off of the top spot. As far as favorite actresses go, and still would have been Katherine Hagel, even though her career has been put on hold because of her desire to have a family. Mom then switched to questions that were of a more personal nature. That game reminding me of something I saw on one of my all-time favorite TV shows, Charmed. I think the s...
