I Dream of Failing

The other night I had a dream that I was still in college. It was near the end of the semester and I suddenly realized that I had a couple classes that I blew off entirely and never went to or did work for. Now I realize that I’ve had that dream a lot of times.

What are some dreams you’ve had multiple times?

I have totally had that dream before, many times. I also had a dream a few times that I had to take like 7 math classes in college. worst nightmare.

One dream I had again and again soon after I got married and for a while after, was I dreamt I was married but to someone I didn't like and I was horrified. I'm often conscious in my dreams, meaning I know i'm dreaming, but in these I could never remember who I was actually married to and for one moment I felt doomed that i had married the wrong person. Then i'd sort of wake up totally terrified, remember I was married to Sean, and relief would sweep over me. So then I knew that I had made the right decision. ;)

I had an onion tied to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, you couldn't get white onions because of the war; all you could get...

Do you ever get stuck in a conversation that you can’t get out of? I’m not talking about those times when you have to be somewhere else or there’s a rational need to leave, but rather those times when, with every word the other person utters (it’s typically just a two-person conversation), your brain threatens to escape your body and make a break for it. All you can do is try to play some old TV theme songs in your head, or maybe design circuits if you’re the engineering type, all the while searching for an opportunity to escape. Now I’m boring myself just thinking about those situations.

Thirty Thoughts

1. Is that more hair in the shower drain every morning? 2. What's the big deal? It's just a number with a zero at the end. Why should we consider that significant? 3. Am I still allowed to wear shorts? 4. I need to buy a house within the next five years or we won't have it paid off by retirement age. Then again, my generation won't be able to retire until age 80, so I shouldn't worry. 5. I really should be eating more green, leafy vegetables. If I leave potatoes in the fridge long enough, will that count? 6. Going back to school is getting less and less likely. Then again, sending kids to school will be enough trauma. 7. At least I no longer look like I'm 12, which I did until I was about 23. 8. I will never wear my cell phone on my belt. 9. For some reason, there's a big difference between having a kid and having kid s . 10. You kids get off the lawn! 11. I wonder when my memory will start to go. 12. Inside of me beats the heart of an 18-year-old. At leas...

Moral Compass

On a scale of 1 to 10 (with 1 being “afraid to step on a blade of grass” and 10 being “I’m gonna kill everyone!”), how bad is it if I were to warm up my car in the morning for 10 minutes before coming to work?
