november is National Blog Posting Month. the goal is to post to your blog every day. last year a group of us all submitted topics, and each day a new topic was drawn as a focus for our blogs. topics included gratitude, panic, 5 ways to lose a fight, orange and peg leg or hook? it was a lot of fun to see how each blogger approached the subject, and it gave us something new to talk about each day.
so ... anyone want to join me this year?

dreams remembered
a. i was driving home from a shopping trip with my sister in the seat next to me and my mom in the back. my car was freaking out. first it told me i was low on fuel, which i knew wasn't true because i'd just stopped on my way home from work the other day to fill up. (i had actually done that in real life.) then the blow up gauge started rising. seriously, in the dream, i knew it as the "blow up" gauge. so apparently i didn't want my mom & sister to know there was possible trouble because i asked my sister to open up this fleece blanket set (like we sell at work) for me. so she did, but when she opened it the blanket expanded and made it so i couldn't see. that was bad because the blow up gauge was still rising and i couldn't see where to turn off into the animal clinic's parking lot to fix it. fix it? i was going to stop the car and start it up again. that fixes all problems, right?
2. some guy i knew in the dream came home, but he knew there were people inside. sinister people up to no good. so he called 911, but found out that because of where he lived no town would assist him in his emergency. (i actually have this fear sometimes, and i think it stems from the fact that the good pizza place won't deliver to us because we're on the very edge of town.) but he can handle it. he waits for me to arrive, and we go in quietly and wait in the dining room, hiding around the corner from the top of the stairs. when the sinister people come up the stairs, we jump out & each push one down the stairs. then a chase through a manufacturing building ensues.
dreams rock.

random day
i didn't want to get up this morning. my roommate is sick, and i'm trying to avoid catching it. i'm thinking a good 16 hours of sleep would help that, right? :) but that wasn't in the plan for today. instead i set my alarm for latest i felt would comfortably allow me to get ready for work without rushing around. so as i'm pulling things out of the fridge to make my lunch, i double-check my schedule. hmmmm. i wasn't supposed to be start at noon - i was supposed to start at 11. that meant i should have left 15 minutes ago. oops. thankfully i usually give myself extra time for the drive - i clocked in at 11:03.
i came home and got the mail, which included an envelope from my mama. (have i mentioned lately that my mom rocks? i love her.) my previous employer had sent something to her address for me. yeah, that was two addresses ago ... and they've sent things to me at both newer addresses ... but whatever. it's a check for about $25. why did they send me a check for $25? because i asked them to, apparently. only i asked them to do it in january of 2007 when i purchased some supplies for the marketing department. kid you not. it's money they've apparently owed me for almost four years.
today's strange.

the beginning
disclaimer: i know i'm a nerd for doing this. please don't comment telling me i have too much time on my hands or anything equally derogatory. i will delete it. judge quietly amongst yourselves. :)
so, i spent a couple of hours today looking at actors/actresses in Law & Order: Criminal Intent. i haven't hit all the guest stars, yet, but the main characters are accounted for. currently, there are over 250 tv shows just one degree away. meaning that the main characters in Law & Order: CI have been in more than 250 other tv shows (not including talk shows, variety shows or bio pieces). the most common shows? ER and Third Watch - each with 8 common actors/actresses to Criminal Intent.
