Funny Faces

My best friend was playing with the settings on her webcam and turned out some hilarious pictures. The Kiddo and I tried it and it kept us entertained for the better part of an hour.

Filled!

Now we are so happy, we do the dance of JOY!

I got a job! After almost 3 months of unemployment, and some RATHER stressful moments, I'm back in the game! This time in an accounting department with a construction company. I'm loving it so far. Now on to finding a new place to live before January 1st! Anybody got a basement they're looking to rent out?

Do you guys remember Perfect Strangers? Cousin Lary and Balki from Mypos? When the Dance of Joy came to mind, I HAD to look on Youtube to see if they had a vid. Ohhhh man I'm usually not this corny, especially about stupid old sitcoms, but it was a fun trip down memory lane.

And then to make things worse, I HAD to watch the opening credits and then had the theme song stuck in my head for the rest of the day. I seem to have a knack for remembering every word to songs I haven't heard in years. Not sure if that's a blessing, but it still filled my jar!

Embarrassed to admit that Mark Linn-Baker or Bronson Pinchot contributed to it, but the jar is full!

Love list...

At ONE of our Thanksgiving dinners with dear friends (yes, we were definitely feeling the love), the Kiddo and I were asked/expected to wear the Turkey Hat while we said what we were thankful for.

Jar = STUFFED!

All Aboard!

I decided to take the Kiddo for his first ride on Trax. I made the mistake of telling him where we were going BEFORE I put him down for his nap, but assured him that as soon as he woke up, we'd go. He popped up wide awake after just 45 min saying, "Wake up! Trains! Woo woo! All aboard."

We parked on the north side of Temple Square and walked (he ran) to the closest station.

A transit officer approached us and I started to reach for our tickets to show him. But rather than looking at me, his attention was directed at the Kiddo, handing him a sticker.

He filled my jar, and based on the reactions to his enthusiasm from our fellow passengers, I think he filled a few more today as well.

Popcorn Popping

Nuff said. Jar's full!

The Impossible Dream

I had a dream a little while ago. I don't dream very often, let alone have them make much sense OR remember them for long after I wake up, yet I wrote the details of this one down for some reason. Here's what I remember (it's not really organized very well, just random thoughts):

(don't get technical with how it's held up!)

A bridge. Free to cross. No cars, but large crowds of people. It seemed like they walked it daily - a commute.It's precarious looking, but not wobbly - secure. Has huge hills. I can't see the rest

of the bridge because I'm standing at one end and the first hill looms in front of me. It feels like I'm looking straight up to see the top of the hill. The incline seems to cross back into a negative angle where I'd fall off - not even letting me think about how I'd get down the other side OR the other hills afterward.

No known destination past the bridge. The first hill is where my focus is. I'm scared. I don't know how it's possible to navigate. I feel like if I get up enough speed (running? *shr

ug*) to possibly make it up the hill, I'll

fly off. The bridge is over water. There is no one familiar around me, and everyone seems to think nothing of the situation. They just keep

walking.


I know this isn't the most "heavenly" topic, but it wasn't really a nightmare, just a dream that I wanted to remember because it seemed rather fitting with my life right now.
