Mid Summer Night's Update

I really had several things to say today, so instead of changing my Facebook status multiple times I decided to BLOG!!  I started a Twitter account yesterday and wanted to Tweet some things but no one is following me, so no one would hear what I have to say.  I surprisingly like Twitter.  However, I'm glad that I held off for as long as I did.  So, let the updates and randomness begin:
1.  Due to this article that Josh sent me:

http://www.thepostgame.com/blog/training-day/201206/61-easy-ways-lose-weight  particularly 27. To burn more calories, stay upright. This means not sitting in front of a computer, TV, phone, etc., all day. Stand and you'll burn more and be more productive. This could even save your life. DiscoverWhy Your Office Chair is Killing You.  I decided to stand as much as I could today.  I think in my 10 hour work day, I stood about 5-6 hours today. 

2.  I wear flip flops around the office because I saw on the Today Show that heels are bad for the calves.  Today, I did wear my flip flops while I was standing and wore them home today!

3.  We did a fitness challenge at work and part of the challenge was to eat 5 servings of fruits or veggies for at least 5 days during the week.  I've realized that is hard to do.  You pretty much have to make one whole meal of fruits and/or veggies per day!!

4.  This time last year, I could hardly run 2 consecutive miles.  And I was running at a 10 min mile pace.  Yesterday I did 6 miles straight running at a 9 min mile pace!!  It's crazy.  I am thinking about doing a 1/2 marathon in November.

5.  In January, I tried to train for a 1/2 marathon but injured my hip.  I started doing hot yoga and I have not had any hip issues as long since, as I am consistent with hot yoga. 

6.  Cody has been working for mom this summer.  He has been spending a lot of time with her.  And Brayden has been going to stay with Grandma a couple of days a week.  I am glad that they are both getting this time with Grandma and GG. 

7.  Between the major, minors, Cody, and Brayden I think I will see about 50 baseball games this year.  WOW that's a TON of baseball...

8.  I like the symphony.

9.  I started listening to Symphony Hall XM station 76 and today when I got into the car after work, I smiled when symphony music played.  It's pleasant music.

10.  Even though it's pleasant, symphony music makes me think of psycho killer movies.  Like when the murderer or psycho is getting ready they typically play soothing symphony music.

11.  I used to blog about my dreams and I haven't lately, but the only recent dream that I can think of is this dream that I had last week that my grandma was pregnant!!!! 

12.  I'm in my Master's program now.  I've done 2 classes and I'm on a break for July.

13.  I need to start volunteering again.

The Hang Up

You know how you have those dreams that seem SOOO real, you can't shake the dream for like the whole day. The other night I had a dream, not one that FELT so real, I REALLY thought it happened.

Basically, I thought Josh called me at 6 AM and when I answered he was singing to me (which I typically enjoy him singing to me) and I say something like, really singing? And he's like yeah, why you don't like singing. I respond by saying not when I'm trying to sleep and I hang up on him. Then he sends me a text and I just ignore it.
When I woke up, I decided to look at the text and there is one from Josh that says Good morning, I can't wait to hear about your night. I thought to myself, wow he seems very understanding about me hanging up on him. So, I text him and I'm like I'm so sorry for hanging up on you. I only vaguely remember our conversation but I should have just not answered the phone. He responds back, what? I didn't call you. I didn't believe him, I still had no idea that it could have been a dream, so I look at my call log on my phone, and no calls from Josh...

I actually believe that had happened and I even told one of my friends about the whole situation before I realized it was a dream!

Dirty Toilets

I had this dream the other night & I looked up the "meaning" but I would like to know what you think:

I have to go to the restroom at this restaraunt, I go into a restroom and I can’t find a clean toilet. There are like 20 toilets in the room and none are clean enough from me to use. Then one of my friends comes in & want to use the restroom and she’s like what are you doing. And I’m like none of these toilets are clean enough. I have cleaned them & they are still dirty. And in the dream I REALLY have to use the restroom. I’m like omg I really have to go the bathroom but they are all so dirty. I tell my friend that I have cleaned them all but they are all still filthy. Finally, I have to go so bad, I just choose one, but I wake up before I actually go.

Dreams

Every week there is a dream person on the radio station that I listen to & they interpret dreams. He says that in your dreams things symbolize other things. So if you dream about a house then the house represents your body. Not that you are just dreaming about a house.

I don't know that I really believe that because there are a lot of times that I just dream about the TV show that I just watched or I dream about what just happened to me that day. How does a TV show or what actually happened that day symbolized my subconscious?

So here are a couple of dreams that I have had recently & maybe someone can tell me what they meant:

1. I watched part of Family Guy where Superman had x-ray vision & saw Louise & he could see in her belly & she was pregnant. Well that night I had a dream that I was pregnant & Superman could see in my belly.

2. Last night I had a dream that I don't all the way remember but it was Easter & we lived out on the land where I lived in high school but we invited Jeremy's parents but it wasn't really his parents. He left me there with all the parents & he didn't show up. Then a friend of mine from high school was in the dream. Then my preacher's wife was in the dream. She was keeping a prayer scrapbook for someone & I was so relieved & comforted that she was doing that. But she didn't want anyone to know (kind of like Hurley on Lost last night but it was a scrapbook not a journal).

3. A couple of nights ago I had a dream that I had a baby. The dream started when I was giving birth. My mom was there & apparently I was not married or the dad was not around & he was not part of my dream. But I lived in a house that I have never lived in & was digging around for a bunch of baby stuff that I could use because I didn't buy anything for the baby. I was totally unprepared. Which I think I had that dream because my nephew was over & I was digging around try to find him clothes last week. And my cousin is pregnant & she was asking about what to buy for her baby. But I had the same dream when I was pregnant with Cody, that he was born & I just had nothing for him nor was I prepared for him. But in this dream, I was telling my mom that I tried to do everything right this time - and I still ended up pregnant without a man & nothing for the baby.

It might sound like I have a lot of baby dreams but I don't. The first dream happened a long time ago & those are just the ones that I can remember right now.

OH, I do dream all the time that the breaks do not work in my car. That really could symbolize something.

So if anyone has any ideas feel free to interpret.
