I think I'm a masochist

I just did my Veena and Neena Slim Down tape, and it's really warm in here. I must only like to workout when it's really going to be punishing. I've been doing my dance tapes once or twice a week for a couple weeks now, but they're NOTHING compared to Slim Down.

Heart rate... finally slowing down... okay. Gotta do up a couple dishes and get ready to go to Togi's for dinner. I feel I have earned some baked French onion soup. Yummy.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Happy Birthday Emily!

Today is Emily Shea's birthday. I have been thinking about that everytime I see that the date is June 17th. Jess's birthday is next month. I think Em's email is still the same. I'm going to attempt to email her before bed.

I got out of work at 12:30 today, and then came home and played World of Warcraft. I helped Harriet kill Morbent Fel in Darkshire, which was really, really easy as my level 50 hunter. I also got Seersha caught up to Slogdarr. I made a pizza for dinner. It was warm, so I really wish I hadn't had to run the stove, but my culinary skills are quite limited.

Jeff's listening to Launchcast, and I'm just putzing around on the 'net, posting before bedtime. I reorganized my Favorites list today. I made folders for web comics, WoW, and my various friend's blogs and web pages.

That's all for now. Merry Part and Blessed Be.

Ballerina Bitch-kova

This was Frosh's answer to a Trivial Pursuit question regarding which ballerina said, when she knew she was dying "Get the swan costume ready" He came over yesterday after class and hung out til Jess got out of work. We had burgers and played Trivial Pursuit. I won, Jeff says because we ran out of time. But I had all six pie pieces and was sitting in the middle. I just had to answer one question of the guys' choosing. We also played a lot of World of Warcraft yesterday. Our Undead are now 21-22, and my hunter is level 49 now.

I had a flying dream this morning, which was great. I've kind of trained myself that when something strange happens to the car I'm in a dream , I know I'm dreaming and can get out. So when the Neon was on a roof in Pittsburgh, I just got out and watched it roll off, and disappear before hitting the street. Then I felt all light, almost like what I imagine an out-of-body experience would feel like. Then I was dipping and soaring, and running all around a city. I saw a hot dog vendor, and all kinds of stores. It was great, just to feel free of by body, to be able to move however I wanted.

I also remembering dreaming about walking up a snowy road with 2 other people. I was wearing my leopard print slippers and pajamas. I wasn't cold, except for where snow was getting into my slippers.

I also dreamed that I had rented a condo with Jeff, and I think Jess and Frosh, and all kinds of people I knew from college and high school. Lacy, Jay, Mike and Erin showed up, along with some people I was in marching band with, like Kristy Surles and my good friend Steve Reitz. It was kind of neat. I was introducing everyone around, and it was really crowded but everyone seemed to be having a good time.

Okay, I posted, now I get to play Warcraft. Merry Part and Blessed Be everyone!

But these apples are healthsome and good

I'm having an apple as a healthy evening snack rather than ice cream. Go me! Of course, I'm partially motivated by guilt, as we had waffles and bacon for dinner.

I've spent a large portion of the evening enjoying World Of Warcraft. You're all shocked, I know. I played in Arathi Battlegrounds twice, which was interesting, and Warsong Gulch once. We actually won Warsong, which was cool.

We are currently watching X-Play on G4. Apparently Adam and Morgan really hated Da Vinci Code. I thought the book was great, and the movie was pretty good. Then again, Morgan is hard to please when there aren't explosions.

We're off Thursday and Friday this week. No plans as of yet. Time to get ready for bed, I think. Merry Part and Blessed Be!

No dreams, thank to the Q

Hi all! No interesting dreams to report, as I've got a bit of the sniffles and took NyQuil before bed. Worked a short day today, not too many emails. Then I went out to lunch with Jeff and his parents, who had come up this morning to go to the casino. We went to the Lighthouse and I had a ham salad sandwich and a fruit cup, which is half a canteloupe filled with pears, peaches, pineapple and passion fruit. Really good. I had a tiny dish of rainbow sherbert for dessert.

World of Warcraft calls, so I'll cut this short here.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

201st post!

I was going to just post about the dream I had last night before work, but then I realized I made my 200th post last night! *whistles, confetti, fireworks*

A TV show is prime for syndication at 100 episodes. I wonder what happens when a blog gets 200.

Anyway, last night I dreamed about World of Warcraft. I must be jonesing. Hopefully I get out of work early enough today to play some. I only remember creating a new horde character, an orc warlock, and running around a bit. I think my dream was set after the expansion, Burning Crusade, comes out, because there were Dranei and Blood Elves in my dream.

Anyway, gotta finish my tea and head out so I can stop at the post office on my way to work.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Also appears at Myspace

Tip for happiness: See pictures in the clouds.on my way home from work on Thursday, I saw a sperm whale, a funny hat, and a cloud bank that looked like coral caves.

I had a dream Wednesday night that Jeff and I were walking in the woods and found an abandoned town. There were old railroad tracks running through it. As we were looking in the windows of abandoned houses, there was one house with really nice old antique looking furniture in it. The door was open, so we went in to check it out. Then we found people in the house. At first they were all young kids, ranging from age 4 or 5 up to age 16. There were probably a dozen of them. They were sitting at a big table, eating a meal. Once we saw the people, the house looked more poor and dingy. I wanted to hide from them and sneak out of the house, but I think Jeff wanted to observe them. We found the kitchen of the house, and there was an older woman there. The kitchen was a very small room, the appliances looked older, like they were from the 50's or 60's. The woman seemed to be in her late forties or early fifties, but she had kind of an ageless quality. She was cooking for all the kids, and working online. She sold things on E-bay, things she found, and things she made. We talked to her for a while (can't remember what about) and we were about to leave when a short, fat, dark-haired man came in. He was yelling at the woman in another language, either Spanish or Italian maybe. He seemed greasy and dirty and he was wearing a stained tank top and pants that were unbuckled. I think he was drunk. He pulled out a gun and was going to shoot the woman. We tried to stop him and he turned the gun at us, and Jeff took it away from him, quick as a flash. We started to run away, and the man had another gun. He was shooting at us, and I ran behind Jeff, trying to protect him from the bullets. The last part of the dream I remember was jumping on Jeff's back.

Definitely a strange dream, and one I think I want to examine the symbols of more. I think the woman with all the children was a Crone/Goddess symbol. She lived in an old house, in an abandoned town, with old appliances, but her livelihood was thoroughly modern. I'm not sure what the man was supposed to symbolize. I think they were the most important things in the dream, considering that even almost 12 hours after waking up, many of the details about them are fresh in my mind.

I have discovered the exotic belly-dancer within

I spent all afternoon listening to Laundry Service by Shakira at work. There's this great song with an Eastern, belly-dance rhythm to it called Eyes Like Yours.

So I came home and put on my flowy skirt and hip scarf and did my Basic Dance video. I was going to try the Mystic Dance video, but as I thought, that one teaches veil work and I don't have a veil or anything that could be used as such. I need to get 3 yards of sheer, lightweight fabric.

I had a great dream post yesterday, but Blogger was not working, so I posted it at my MySpace page. I'll repost it here so you don't have to go over there unless you want to.

Bonus!

You Are Bart Simpson

Very misunderstood, most people just dismiss you as "trouble."

Little do they know that you're wise and well accomplished beyond your years.

You will be remembered for: starring in your own TV show and saving the town from a comet

Your life philosophy: "I don't know why I did it, I don't know why I enjoyed it, and I don't know why I'll do it again!"


I'm not sure why I took this one, as we all know I HATE Valentine's Day with a passion. I think it's because I like candy hearts, and they are the only part of participating in that fake, Hallmark holiday that I miss.

Your Candy Heart Says "Hug Me"

A total sweetheart, you always have a lot of love to give out.
Your heart is open to where ever love takes you!

Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a surprise romantic evening that you've planned out

Your flirting style: lots of listening and talking

What turns you off: fighting and conflict

Why you're hot: you're fearless about falling in love



I think that's all for now, my exotic belly-dancer within wants water.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Dream Blog

This morning, in between the time Jeff got up to leave for State College and the time I had to get up for work, I had a dream that Grey and I were in a play together. Our scene had nothing to do with the rest of the play, which seemed to be Pride and Prejudice type British play. Neither of us knew our lines, so I was trying to find a way to hide the script in one of my props, but I couldn't find any copies of the script backstage. I saw Allison backstage, but she didn't see me, she was laying behind a curtain playing a GameBoy? The play was being staged in the high school gym at West Forest.

So I'm in West Hickory with Keely, mom and dad are off enjoying a mini-vacation for their 30th anniversary. Jeff is in State College getting re-certified for his holding down crazy people training (it has some official title, like the name of the system they use, but I can't remember it) Keely had a grilled cheese sandwich for supper, and she is watching the Rascal Flatts DVD she got for her birthday. Bedtime soon, we're going to pick up Jeff in Bradford tomorrow when he gets back from State College. I talked to him on the phone earlier, he sounded pretty tired. I talked to my sister Lacy on the phone for about an hour, which was great.

I think that's all for this evening. This computer is not what I would call reliable. Any comments on the new template? Anyone? Bueller?

Back in the hip scarf

I started bellydancing again today. I did the Basic Dance video from the Discover Bellydance set. It was fun, the moves are ones I'm pretty familiar with from their other tapes. Once I got to the end and where it goes through the routine twice, once with instructions and once with just music, I rewound it and did that part again. I've got to start doing something again. I don't like the way my shirts are riding up over my tummy, or how big my thighs are. I want to be able to buy a new swimsuit I actually like the way I look in for North Carolina, dammit. So I want to start alternating Bellydancing with Pilates again. That seemed to work well, especially for my tummy.

I got out of work early today, which was nice. I had some Chinese food for lunch, and I didn't get cheese wontons, so I was proud of myself there.

I haven't had any coherent dreams since my last dream journal post, just snatches of things here and there. I had one of those dreams this morning where you're dreaming that you're already awake. Except I was awake and I couldn't seem to move. I could hear Jeff moving around in other parts of the house, and I tried to call out to him, but I couldn't make any noise, and I felt very lethargic and heavy. I rolled out of bed (in the dream) and was stuck on the floor. I really hate those dreams.

I think that's all for now. I may add more later on. Back to World Of Warcraft.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Quote From The Break-Up

Gary: There's a really big gap between getting your ass kicked and having a dancing, singing sprite fool you with trickery and then strike your throat before you know that you're even *in* a fight.

I think I need to see this movie. I love Vince Vaughn. Wedding Crashers was very funny, even though I don't care much for Owen Wilson. The best parts for me were with Vince Vaughn's character and the funny little psychotic, nymphomaniac redhead he hooks up with.


Gloria Cleary: Don't ever leave me!
Jeremy Grey: Ever.
Gloria Cleary: Good. 'Cause I'd find you!

Jeremy Grey: Gloria, I've been doing a lot of soul searching recently, and I think I'm ready to take this relationship, our relationship to the next level.
Gloria Cleary: Jeremy, I am so ready to take it to the next level.
Jeremy Grey: Really?
Gloria Cleary: Yeah. Do you want to watch me with another girl? How about those Brazilian twins we met at the ball game?
Jeremy Grey: I was thinking more along the lines of an engagement.
Gloria Cleary: Oh Jeremy, I do!
Jeremy Grey: I love you.
Gloria Cleary: I love you.

That's all for today. Only 4 more blog posts til we celebrate our 200th entry!

Dreams

I'm considering using this blog as a dream journal. It would be getting back more to the original thought behind the blog, which was to record all witchy type events. There haven't been any witchy events lately, although I've been using my quiet time on the mornings where Jeff and I both work to ground and center, and align myself. In certain traditions of the Craft (Primarily Feri and Reclaiming and their shoot-offs), it is believed that the soul and aura are made up of 3 parts. When all three parts are in alignment, it's easier to understand messages being communicated from one part to another, and it's the best state from which to do any spellwork. But I've rambled a bit here, and the Three Souls takes up entire chapters in books, which I don't want to re-write here. Maybe I'll write up my own version of it, and post it at a later date.

Anyway, back to dream blogging. Last night I had a dream that Jeff and I were at a hospital. I think we were visiting Jess and the baby. Lacy and Jay showed up for a surprise visit. I think we saw Kim Finnigan (now Gutshall) at the hospital too, I remember Lacy and I giving her a big sandwich hug. Then Jeff and I sat with Lace and Jay in a kitchen with an island and stools and ate crackers and cheese. That's all I remember of that dream. At some point early this morning. I had a dream about a cake. It was a layer cake covered in white icing, and it had bright purple violets as decoration.

Well, I'm supposed to finish this now so I can play World Of Warcraft. I hope all your dreams were pleasant ones Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Oh, I am so excited!

Weekend Plans

I worked the past two mornings and kept the emails caught up. This afternoon sometime Jeff and I are driving to West Hickory to visit my family. Tomorrow's is Keely Jo's 24th birthday, and my mom is having a party. I picked up a 3 pack of older Brooks and Dunn CD's for her from Wal-Mart for about $15. It's a bad idea to spend a lot of money of CDs for her, as she has a tendency to scratch them. So I'm pretty excited about that, I'll get to see my Aunt Ann and her family, and other relatives I haven't seen since Christmastime.

Jeff and I went to Olean yesterday, had lunch at Friendlys and went to see the new X-Men movie. Though it had some cool parts, a lot of it was disappointing. Some of our favorite characters really got the shaft in this one, story wise. I won't go into too much detail in case anyone's planning to see it. I'll just say to stay after the credits, there's another short scene, that gives us hope for maybe a better fourth movie, if they do another one. From reading on the web, the problem seems to be that this one had a different director than the first two.

Well, I should really get the house picked up and finish packing since we're going away. I hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend, drive safe if you're traveling.

Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Damn, almost a month between posts

Oh well, that happens sometimes. Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans. We've been playing a lot of World Of Warcraft recently, our friends Artie and Harriet just got hooked up too. I've been doing a lot of worrying about my sister, Lacy, but hopefully things are going better there now.

I'm blogging this morning because I'm mad at Zoo Tycoon (Tuesday mornings = WoW maintenance time) I had been working for over an hour on my Dinosaurs on the Moon zoo, when a Spinosaurus escaped. I was looking for the helicopter recovery team, who didn't seem to being doing the job that they're overpaid for. I clicked on their building, but the helicopter didn't show up. I clicked on the window for info about it, and the game crashed. If I didn't know better, I'd say this game was made by Maxis... (Oh sweet Sim Golf... so fun, so frustrating when you crash on tournament mode all the frickin' time!) And of course I hadn't saved. So the T-Rex, Plesiosaurus and Caudipetryx exhibits I had built are all gone. I think when I go in again, I'm going to start on my Ice Age area. That reminds me, Jeff and I watched Ice Age on TV last night. It was funnier than I remembered. I've also been reading through the archives of Ctrl+Alt+Delete, a very funny webcomic. Some of the first person shooter comics I skip, but they cover all kinds of video games. Mainly X-Box and PC, some GameCube.

Jeff's playing some Star Wars real-time strategy game, and I'm contemplating lunch. I'm eagerly anticipating our trip to OBX, which is in ... less than 3 months! I'd like to go see Da Vinci Code this evening, as this is our only real day off together this week. Jeff has to go in do a training at work tomorrow, when he'd normally be off. :-( So we'll see if that happens. Early showing is at 7. I hate that the Carmike in Olean doesn't show matinees during the week.

I think that's enough of an update for now. Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Thanks, Ben!

Ben sent me the link to this comic... If you play MMORPG's you'll laugh your ass off.

Ctrl+Alt+Delete

I also watching Memoirs of a Geisha with Jamie today. Good movie, now I feel I can read the book, which Lisa had highly recommended.

I think that's going to be all for now. The goal is to be in bed early tonight, we were up kinda late last night roleplaying and hanging out with Adam, Vita, Harriet and Artie.

Good start to the day

My day got off to a great start today because Jeff was feeling better. He had a horrible stomachache all day yesterday. Now I just need to hope I don't catch it. I also got to see one of my all-time favorite Angel moments on TNT before work. It's the episode in Season 4 where they bring Angelus back, and he taunts Wesley about Gunn and Fred. Then Wes saves Fred from Angelus, and when she thanks him, he kisses her, and it's one of my favorite TV kisses. Way more satisfying then when Dave and Matty finally kissing on Moonlighting. God, how old am I that I remember that!

I also got to see Michelle last night for the first time since Halloween. Hopefully we will get to see each other more over the summer when she has less school work and I'm not role-playing. I'm thinking of starting a book club... my friend Danielle S. at work likes to read too, and she also lives in Bradford.

Well, since I am at work now I'll end this here. Merry Part and Blessed Be!

Eric sent me this link, it's pretty funny.

World of Offline Gaming

Feeling very tired, so no more WoW tonight. Gotta work tomorrow and Saturday, then I have Sunday off. I wonder if the servers will be less busy than usual due to the holiday... speaking of Easter, I have peanut butter meltaways from Dan Smith candies. yum!
