Some Updates and Some Weird Dreams

First of all, I just want to say I'm glad it's Friday!!! Even though my week has flown by fairly quickly and I haven't had to much intensive work since I've been mostly doing training, I still am looking forward to a relaxing weekend and a fresh start next week!

As you can see, I have decided to take the plunge and add Haloscan comments to my blog. I was sad to let my comments go, but I want people to be able to make more and considering how crappy Blogger comments have been over the past few weeks, I had had enough and decided to make the switch! :)

I'm also very sleepy this morning because I had very strange dreams last night. I did not have strange dreams like Kim where I killed my comments (didn't do that until this morning though so who knows what I will dream about tonight). I'm not sure what triggered them, and the weirdest part is that after the first one, I "woke up" in that nightmare and knew it was just a dream and that it hadn't happened and yet I wasn't really awake and was still dreaming and slipped right back into the same time period remembering what had happened. Okay, that probably didn't make sense, but neither did the dreams.

Started out that I was at a traffic light and there were a bunch of lanes across and we were taking a left turn (or at least I was trying to). When the light changed, I started to go and noticed the car next to me coming towards me. I had no control over my car and suddenly it was like I wasn't in my car anymore but was in the passenger seat of the guy's car that had been to my left. I knew this person in my dream but I don't recognize who it was. And we sped off as if nothing happened. Suddenly I realized that it was weird that one minute I had been in my own car, and then I was in the car next to me and made him go back. When we got back, there were cops everywhere and there stood my beautiful new car smashed and flattened to bits as well as several other cars that were part of the "accident." People were talking to me, the guy that I had been in the car with as well as some other "friends" that happened to be there and asking me if I was okay, and I just couldn't figure out how I had gotten out of that mess and gotten in the other car and yet I wasn't a ghost or anything weird like that. At the end of the dream, Austin had come to take me home and the only thing I was worried about was having to tell my parents that I had wrecked my new car (even though I wasn't part of the accident).

Then came the part where I "woke up," realized it was a dream, went downstairs and saw my car was fine and intact, and moved on....and yet in real life, I was still in my dream. Then somehow I got back into that dream world within the dream and it was the next day and we were going to Port Aransas with Austin's parents and my parents. I was trying to explain what had happened with my car, and my parents were flipping out. We stopped at this mall where my mom got her hair done and they screwed it all up and she was angry. So she started taking it out on me and calling me a "pudgy girl"and all these other random things and telling me that I had some nerve to do that to my car and to treat her that way and all this other stuff. It was very bizarre and luckily that is when I really did wake up in real life to the sound of the phone ringing (Austin always calls around 7 to make sure I get my rear-end out of bed). Overall, it was a very disturbing sequence of dreams, and I'm glad it wasn't reality!

Now, I'm sitting here in my office. I haven't heard word yet if I have to finish up my computer training on the billing program this morning or not. Otherwise, I pretty much get to figure out ways to entertain myself. I am going to lunch with my former co-workers as a goodbye type of thing even though I've already been gone for a week, but they wanted to wait I think to hear more about my new job and see how things were going. Everyone here has been so friendly. All the people on this floor (including attorneys) have come in to introduce themselves to me and to let me know where they sit and let me know that they are there if I need them. It's really kind of cool - seem like a great group of people, and I'm really thinking this is going to be a great fit for me! Well, I guess that's a long enough blog for now - if I think of anything else, I will blog again later - have a great weekend if I don't talk to you before! :)
