Grilling, dick dreams, and stuff I need to do

The last couple nights I've laid down on my couch with my computer but then James came up for cuddling and ended up sleeping on me, and I ended up falling asleep as well. That's the biggest reason why I haven't posted since Sunday. Oh and also I'm finally reloading all my music into iTunes and starting to get it organized so I can update my iPod.

Tonight The German came over and we grilled! For the next month, before I move, I need to be taking advantage of my balcony and the ability to grill, because the new place has no balcony and as far as I know, I can't grill anywhere, even though my grill is portable. The German brought over flank steak that he had marinated since last night, zucchini and peppers. It was soooo yummy and wonderful!

And speaking of moving, I need to start packing some stuff sometime very soon. I think I'll feel better when I get a few boxes here so I can pack up books, movies, and kitchen stuff that I never use. Just so I feel that I'm on my way.

I also need to book some movers tomorrow. The German is going to check with me tomorrow to make sure I'm calling around, because he knows how bad I am with procrastination. The Meat keeps telling me to not waste my money, and to just rent a UHaul and that he, his sons, The Queen and his sons, and other people from work will help. But first, I feel so bad asking people to do anything for me, let alone physical labor. And second, movers are quick and know how to move the big stuff. And third, there are two flights of stairs at the new place so that'll be much harder than with elevators. So I'm going to book movers, even though The Meat will be upset with me. But it's also in the middle of the week when I need to move, so that's even more of a reason why I can't ask people to help me!

On a different subject, I have dick on my mind. For the past couple weeks I've dreamt many, many nights of cartoonishly large dicks. They've all belonged to different people, sometimes guys that I know and sometimes not, but I always at some point in the dream reach inside the guy's pants and pull out his humongous cock and stare in awe and excitement at it, practically licking my lips, but then something happens that pulls me away from it and for the rest of the dream I'm trying to get back to the big dick, to get my hands on it, but I never quite get there. At least from what I can remember, that is. A psychologist would have such fun analyzing this!

Last night I dreamt that I went on a date with a guy at my work, who I find more annoying than not, even though he's a nice guy. After the date we went back to some place and were sitting on the couch getting ready to watch a movie when he kissed me, and then I reached into his pants and pulled out his monster dick with both hands and was so excited, but then I got called away somehow. And when I tried to sit back on the couch with him, my mom kept coming in the room and saying we had to go to bed and sleep in separate beds. When I saw him at work today I did such a double-take and felt very odd when talking to him until I was able to get past the dream.

Now that I'm thinking about it, in the dream I also was moved into a new apartment that looks nothing like the one I'm moving to, and I was trying to figure out how to arrange everything and had Florida and Asparagus come over to get their advice - but they couldn't figure it out either and I was trying to look for something that I was holding for them. Hmmm.

I also, kind of often lately, dream about getting drunk just once. Something bad will happen in a dream, such as finding a book of all the women The German has dated, and in my dream I'll decide to let myself get drunk once, because if ever I deserved it, it's after news such as that. And in my dream I often actually end up with a bottle of wine and then go back and forth as to whether to drink it. And sometimes I think I start drinking the bottle before starting the mental debate. I'm about a week away from my little 6-month anniversary of no alcohol, so it's bothering me that I'm having dreams like this so often now. But honestly, I'm having more twinge-like cravings for getting drunk than I have since very early on in stopping.

SP was supposed to come over right after work today, but something came up that made it impossible. I was happy to hear him being as disappointed as me, and I'm sure I'll see him sometime in the next few days. And tomorrow night, after belly dancing, I'm watching a movie with The Coach. I still don't think he's the guy for me, but I don't mind seeing him and getting to know him a little better, for now at least.

Tonight I have to not fall asleep early because I need to 1) look up some possible movers to call tomorrow, 2) pay my bills that I've been very lazy about, 3) open up all my mail from the past few days, 4) straighten up the apartment, 5) prepare some deposits for my volunteer group because a number of dues checks have arrived already. On Friday night I need to get a mystic tan so I can look cute on Saturday at our volunteer fundraiser party. It's so stressful for me to even be around everyone there, and I feel like a bit of an outsider and get really shy, and can't even drink to loosen up, so at least I can hopefully feel good about how I look - and I'm going to wear my new so-sexy black lace sleeveless shirt! I'm excited about that!

Oh and after that is the John Prine concert which I still haven't bought tickets for because I still haven't found anyone to go with me. I feel like such a loser! (Not that I'm very good about asking people though.) I asked The Coach and he kind of never responded, the ass. I don't want to ask again because I don't like being told no. But tonight that's one more thing I'm going to do: 6) buy John Prine tickets. Because I'm going to go, dammit. And I'll find someone to go, whether it's The Coach, who I'll ask again in an email tomorrow, or Porcine, to who I really owe a return phone call, or even that pseudo-sleazy guy who wants to be my new "play friend" - but I'll find someone! And I'll have my so-sexy black lace shirt on for that, too! And I'll see The Meat there!

Right, I've got my list, now I'll get to it! :)

How I Feel

"I am two women: one wants to have all the joy, passion and adventure that life can give me. The other wants to be a slave to routine, to family life, to the things that can be planned and achieved."

Quotes That Touch and Inspire Me

♥ I think that the most beautiful women I've ever met are the ones that know who they are, have stories to tell, ideas to share, wisdom to impart and love the skin they're in. No one can love us as we love ourselves. No one can take away our beauty and our dignity when we own those things. To me confident=beautiful. :: CeeCi

♥ I'd been feeling a little blue (for no particular reason) when I began thinking about things like attention, age and body image. Suddenly, it washed over me. I see people looking at me and I see them reacting. I began thinking about the times I notice the attention and realized its the days I'm strutting, the days I'm open and holding my head up. This got me to thinking further. How I perceive myself is what I show to others...People don't realize it, but they show the world everything about themselves in the way they move and act, in the words they say and the way they say them. A little confidence can lead to a lot of confidence. :: CeeCi

♥ When we believe in ourselves the world is an entirely different place and our place in it feels right and happy and healthy. :: CeeCi

♥ Remember that something incredibly wonderful is always possible!

♥ There are moments that are wonderful, if you let them be.

♥ Being distrustful put me in a very lonely place, a place filled with doubt and hypervigilance. I'm grateful I've learned to trust again, because in learning to do it, I learned to trust myself. :: CeeCi

♥ We're all a work in progress. I believe we will be until the day our lives end. Why fight it? I love the changes I experience. Some are certainly easier and more enjoyable than others, yet I wouldn't stop the process for any thing in the world. :: CeeCi

♥ We may run, walk, stumble, drive, or fly, but let us never lose sight of the reason for the journey, or miss the chance to see a rainbow on the way :: Gloria Gaither

♥ Happiness comes of the capacity to feel deeply, to enjoy simply, to think freely, to risk life, to be needed :: Storm Jameson

♥ Love is everything. It is the reason we are here, and the wonder we take with us wherever we go.

♥ Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow :: Mary Anne Radmacher

♥ Just live in the moment, the moment you're in. Don't live two days from now. Don't live two hours in advance. Live now. And appreciate what you have now. Don't go any further. You have this moment. This second. Breathe it. Enjoy it. Live in it. :: Open Eyes

♥ Leap, and the net will appear.

♥ I've learnt that when we express our deepest feelings, even though we may stammer or be unable to find the right words, it always pays. It pays to be authentic.

♥ There are as many nights as days, and the one is just as long as the other in the year's course. Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word 'happy' would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness :: Carl Jung

♥ I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge, myth is more potent than history, dreams are more powerful than facts, hope always triumphs over experience, laughter is the cure for grief, love is stronger than death :: Robert Fulghum

♥ You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizon. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about, the more you have left when anything happens. :: Ethel Barrymore

♥ Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart. Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens. :: Carl Jung

♥ I will try to be as honest as I can with myself. That is all that is required of me. I'll keep admitting and opening my hidden box of fears, hurts and insecurities, again and again, until I know each one of them by their first name. :: Anu

♥ It struck me that there is amazing beauty everywhere. Does it matter where you are or who we're encountering? There is magic all around us. The fact that we're alive, the fact that we're living in this place and time. The fact that we've met the people we've met, all of it, every bit of it, only contributes to the wonder that is life. :: CeeCi

♥ No pessimist ever discovered the secrets of the starts, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new heaven to the human spirit. :: Helen Keller

♥ Half of doing anything is believing that you can.

♥ Often God has to shut a door in our face, so that he can subsequently open the door through which he wants us to go. :: Catherine Marshall

♥ Even if it burns a little low at times, the secret of life is to always keep the flame of hope alive.

♥ The three grand essentials of happiness are something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for.

♥ Some people will say that you are going the wrong way, when it is simply a way of your own.

♥ When it's all said and done, when all the opinions have been uttered, preached, shouted, and shared, there is only one thing we can do: From this moment on...love.

♥ When you're stuck in a spiral, to change all aspects of the spin you need only to change one thing. :: Christina Baldwin

♥ You have to look for the joy. Look for the light of God that is hitting your life, and you will find sparkles you didn't know were there.

♥ Be the change you wish to see in the world... :: Gandhi

♥ Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.

♥ Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. :: Cadet Maxim

♥ Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore! Dream! Discover!

♥ What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? :: Unknown

♥ To love and be loved is to feel the sun from both sides. :: David Viscott, M.D

♥ Right now it feels like:...no dream will ever remain unfulfilled...no desire will ever remain unanswered...no tear goes unnoticed and no effort wasted...the hills are alive and so are we...each moment is fresh and waiting to happen...and there will be garbage like situations all around...but it is upto us to light mud lamps in it...and glow in our own acceptance and appreciations... :: Anu

♥ I struggle with not feeling like I'm good enough at times. Usually, its because I'm pushing it too hard and have depleted my reserve. Yet, I know without a shadow of a doubt that no matter how heavy or thin, how young or old I appear to others it's what I feel on the inside that glows through. If I could give every person on this planet just one gift it would be the unwavering knowledge that they are beautiful and worthy of every good thing the universe holds. :: CeeCi

♥ It's easier to buy into the negative things we conjure about ourselves than the positive things. Knowing that is the first step towards changing the thoughts that keep us unhappy. With time moving forward, why stay trapped in the past? All we have is right here and right now, I intend to make the most of it! :: CeeCi
