My morning - let me show you it:

Meant to get up early to go retrieve boxes: Woke up late.

Got Em and I out the door only to find out that I left my car window down during the tornado warnings and thunderstorms last night the hard way: Came back in the house to change my pants.

Got back in the car with a towel on the seat, went to back out of the driveway: Flat tire. Like, flat flat.

Note: I have been awake for less than an hour.

I'm going back to bed.

Oh, Aims, what a suck way to start the day. I hope the sleep is refreshing!

Best of bonding with the new pooch, bonny! I don't know if I'll ever get a dog, but reading your tips over the years has definitely shown me what my ex and I did wrong when it came to all the dogs we ever had.

I'm playing hooky today. The weather has been so nice the past couple of days, in March! I couldn't bear to be at work when I had virtually nothing going on. Any chores I had for today, I did last night before I left.

Good grief, Aims. Going back to bed sounds like the wisest choice!

bonny, looking forward to the tale of the doggie-getting! You have a GPS, right?

I never have to come into the office, but I'm here today and man are people just butthurt at every little thing. Good God, man. Suck it up already! So glad I'm out of my old dept. Sheesh.

I worked on stuff a leetle too late (4 am) and JUST woke up at 12:35.

Um. I guess yoga, weight lifting AND a walk yesterday wore me out. I didn't think I'd need to set the alarm.

Ok, 1 more cup of coffee and I can finish this 1 item and send it out. Brain still foggy, and my shoulders are SORE. (I did a couple of kick-ass shoulder stands in yoga, and have conquered the advanced tree pose! I AM A NINJA!)

Also. For the first time ever, my hip and chest measurements have gone under 40 inches. 39-31-39. I have to buy new underwear. All of mine are falling down. It is so weird and fun. Not the underwear falling down, per se; just the weight loss after being plus-sized and really struggling with weight and the BID's my whole life.

You are a ninja! Wow. And congrats on the falling panties! Or, well, the reason for the falling, actually, NSM the falling itself.

I was walking upstairs yesterday morning in a t and undies with my coffee and my underwear just fell off by the top stair.

I looked down at them around my ankles, and was all "Huh. Time for some new underwear. Note to self: wear jeans out until then."

And....with that, I am caffienated, and back to work!

Did anyone else have VERY vivid dreams last night? Oh boy did I. Slightly disconnected segments, that tied together in no sense of continuity.

There was one segment, where I was doing sound for an Obama event here in LA. It was at a hotel, that had a BIG glass balcony (like the glass ledge over the Grand Canyon). We get it all set up, lights, sound, video, the whole shebang. And it SNOWS in LOS ANGELES. Everything is shut down. Roads are closed. Panic. etc. I recall viewing from the glass balcony (which didn't get any snow) that the ground looked so cool and crystaline. So we had to camp out in the hotel, and I had my sleeping bag (why?? There are beds... but then, when do dreams ever make sense). And I recall Shir was visiting, but then she went missing in the hotel. And I found her hanging out with the video folks, and they were all lighting up joints, and I was all "dudes! The President is in the next room! You can't be toking up!!" and they were all like "But I got a prescription card dude".

And then the next segment was very detailed driving directions to a function (dunno what it was), and the route reminded me of San Diego. And the last part was pull into the place, and give the password "Palm Trees" to the gaurd. So I pull up, and say pleasentries, and the gaurd is all like "don't you want to ask me about palms or something???" "Oh right, um, PALM TREE" and she opens the *lobby* doors and says "park anywhere" and I drove my car into the lobby and parked behind some sofa's.

Then there was a segment attending some Shower party (don't recall if it was wedding or baby). And there were tons of sandwhiches. And I was all "Oh hey, I could use a ham & cheese sandwhich" because thats what they looked like. And I was corrected, that this was a Jewish event, so ham & cheese wasn't Kosher, that they are TURKEY and cheese (not sure if that is Kosher or not, but that's what the dream had). And then the folks next to the people I was talking to were looking at me all strange, and I thought it was because I was standing up talking, rather than sitting at the table. So I sat down, and that's when I felt the cold seat on my bum, and realized I had no pants on. Now, I recall from High School psych class, that is a sign of some insecurity or some such. The panic. Oh my god, I'm naked, or whatever. But that didn't happen in the dream. I was all like "Oh dang, my pants must still be back at the hotel from the Obama thing. Wasn't that snow crazy. I could explain, but it's a long story. Eh, let me go put some on so you folks can stop staring at me", and then I walk across the room to my bedroom.... and wake up. (I should mention, I recall wearing a blue button down shirt, ya know, long tails, so I was covered up and all. Not nakie).

Very vivid. Details highly realistic... maybe not scenerios, but the colors, the trees, the streets, the snow, all of that stuff was vivid. Crazy.

OK, I should be working. But brain just doesn't wanna do anything today.

Good stuff, Erin!

I am checked in, wardrobe approved, paperwork filled out. Now begins the waiting. At least today we're inside with A/C.
