Halloween Week
I need something to distract myself, so I'm going to concentrate on having a great week of celebrating all hallow's eve. Yesterday, I picked up a skull bucket and this afternoon I'm going to pick up a wig and/or witches hat...maybe a festive Halloween-inspired shirt or at least some pumpkin-festooned socks. I still need to decide on a costume... right now I'm torn between meltdown 2007 model Britney Spears and Sarah Palin. The Britney costume would consist of a pink wig, torn hose, big sunglasses, an umbrella, a bag of cheetos, and lipstick smeared up the side of my face and 5150 letter pinned to my shirt. Sarah Palin would be my glasses, a skirtsuit, a sash that reads "Madame Vice President," a rifle, and a baby doll. Then again, there's always my old standby: whatever I happen to be wearing that day and a set of cat ears. Either way, I'm sure I'll think of something.
In other news, I'm in leadership training the majority of this week, which will be a nice reprieve from the preparation for upcoming CPS-audit mania that's overtaken work. I can't help but feel we're set up to fail this audit and that makes it easy to be fearful of the outcome. Then again, I know that I'm on a winning team with other like-minded people (None of lose. Ever.) so I know that while it'll be a race to the end, everything will be all right. But being away from work will do me well - my brain is oversaturated with it and all things related to it and found there.
Today...horror movies on AMC. Right now is Pet Cemetary; Nightmare on Elm Street was earlier. Christine is next, but by the time the credits roll on this one, I may be Stephen King-ed out, though craving a return trip to Maine.

I Wish I was a Stingy Bastard
My generosity bites me in the ass again and again. While I've done a great job of not being taken advantage of financially, the first united bank of feelings has suffered yet another armed robbery. I'm locking up the feelings bank and throwing away the key. No more tokens, no more offerings, nothing to be given without preemptively getting something in return. I guess we live in a world where giving equates to neediness and either I send out the wrong signals (needy) or I actually am (needy). Perhaps I lack the ability to strike a happy medium of give and take, so I'll try my hand at take, take, take for a while and see if that gets me any further.
So get me some crime scene tape and set a perimeter, lock the doors, we're closed for business...

...UnbeSMURFinlievable...
This is the most unbelievable thing I've seen on the internet in...forever. If MSUR were still around, I'd be tripping all overmyself to post this video. It's the epitome of NSFW! (Not safe for work).
This clip is all in spanish and will probably be perceived by many as disgusting. But I implore you to skip ahead to 3 minutes ahead into the video and enjoy the twisted depravity that is the Smurf F*ckfest. Listen with the volume on and try not to be titilated or fall over laughing.

That Term for a Fate Date
What's that thing called where notable events occur on the same date? There's a word for it, but I can't remember what it is. The term itself is an allusion to something that could possibly be fate but is likely a neat coincidence. I'm positive there has to be a word for this.

Screwy Sleep Schedule
Let me start by saying I've got to stop sleeping in the chair, in my clothes, with the tv on. For starters, it's kind of pathetic, not to mention I'm noticing a connection between the number of times I sleep in said configuration and the number of times I sleep with my makeup on and wearing contact lenses. This whole nocturnal thing may be catching up with me, but I still refuse to let it do so.

Dreams from the Recliner
Slept in the recliner for 11 hours yesterday and had lots of dreams. From the dream dictionary, a random sampling of meanings from said dreams:
Airplane
To dream that a plane crashes, suggests that you have set overly high and unrealistic goals for yourself. Your goals may be too high and are impossible to realize. You are in danger of having it come crashing down. Alternatively, your lack of confidence, self-defeating attitude and self-doubt toward the goals you have set for yourself is represented by the crashing airplane; you do not believe in your ability to attain those goals. Loss of power and uncertainty in achieving your goals are also signified.
Fire
To dream of that you are being burned by fire, indicates that your temper is getting out of control. Some issue or situation is burning you up inside.
Government
To dream of the government, signifies power and the qualities/feelings that rule your life. For example, does greed, lust, or love guide you in how you live? This dream may also reflect your views about society at large.
Tattoo
To dream that you have tattoos, represents individuality and the desire to stand out in a crowd. You want to be unique and different from everybody else, particularly if you do not have any tattoos in real life. Consider also what the tattoo is.
Hotel
To see a hotel in your dream, signifies a new state of mind or a shift in personal identity. You need to move away from your old habits and old way of thinking. Or you feel the need to temporarily escape from your daily life.
Kiss
To dream of a kiss, denotes love, affection, tranquility, harmony, and contentment.If the dream ends just about you are about to kiss someone, indicates that you are unsure of how he or she really feels about you. You are looking for some sort of relationship with this person but you are not sure about how to go about achieving it.
Love
To dream of love of being in love, suggests intense feelings carried over from a waking relationship. It implies happiness and contentment with what you have and where you are in life. On the other hand, you may not be getting enough love in your daily life. We naturally long for the sense to belong and to be accepted. To see a couple in love or expressing love to each other, indicates much success ahead for you.
Amusement Park
To see or be in an amusement park in your dream, indicates that you need to set some time for leisure and more enjoyment in your life. Consider how everything in the park is an expression of some aspect of yourself. Alternatively, you may be too easily distracted lately.
Friend
To dream that you are lying on a table, indicates your need for nourishment and relaxation. It relates to health concerns and anxieties about your well-being.
Night
To have a dream that takes place at night, represents some major setbacks and obstacles in achieving your goals. There are some issues in your life that you are facing that are not too clear. You should put the issues aside so you can clear your head before coming back to it. Alternatively, night may be synonymous with death, rebirth and new beginnings.
***These dreams were two parts: in one, it was like I was watching a movie about two government agents and they died in a plane crash and one declared one for the other right before the plane crashed and burst into flames. One lived, the other was obliterated and burned. In the next dream, I was the star along with one of my pregnant girlfriends and it was autumn at a Silver Dollar City-like amusement park and we too turns lying on a table to get matching tattoos. Mine was blue and had vertical bars incorporated into it.***

Where are My Pants?!?
In a bit, I'm going to Kohls to pick up a couple of more pairs of Dockers because my pants have been vanishing. I put them into the laundry and they are never again seen. I've checked all the closets, behind the dryer, and in the closets - no pants. I have a coupon to use too! Better stock up, have to make it through the week.
Creed Bratton is my Hero
I love Creed on the Office. When I grow old, I want to be just like Creed. And somedays right now I feel like I'm 32% of the way there.

Put Your Back into It
I've fuxored my back. It hurts, but I can stand upright now, which is way better than I was doing yesterday. I was actually sent home from work early last night because I couldn't stand upright and was having problems walking. Mama said that I was standing like I had torn something and then later she patted me on the head and told me I was just getting the flu. Finally, just before she went to bed, she freaked out about maybe I have kidney stones and shoved two bottles of water and a warm beer at me. Such are the stages of diagnosis and treatment by Doctor Mom.
I did get a day's worth of excellent sleep filled with strange pain-killer induced dreams. Can barely remember most of them now, but do recall in one of them receiving a magic vending machine that would give me orange soda and the tv channel Showtime. In another dream, I was stocking a boy's bathroom with my toilettries as in said dream I was now spending considerable time at said boy's house. I remember agonizing over the products that I'd put into his shower because I didn't want things to over-chickefy his domain yet I needed my beauty stash to be one that was effective and perhaps something he wouldn't feel emasculated about using should I not be around.
As for products in the waking world, allow me to sing the praises of the Soap & Glory stuff from Target. Right now I've got the Hair Supply conditioner, Scrub of Your Life body scrub, and Clean on Me body wash in my shower. Post shower calls for Righteous Butter Lotion and Girligo moisturizing body spray. By the time I've used all of this, I'm floating through a cloud of peach-bergamont-fresia glory. And even if I'm overly odiferous after this, who cares, I think I'm fabulous.
