I had Affirmation playing no stop this morning.
My heart shouldn't be all too broken. Yet, seeing the A's elimnated by the Twins, I felt bad. I felt like the world caved in. I shouldn't have and I know that but I did. My heart wasn't into the game that the Braves lost last night.
But hey, the Braves should win tonight. Millwood is pitching. As for American League baseball, I'm rooting for the Anaheim Angels to win it all.
I woke up from dream this moring that go me on the "What is with me?" train of thought again. He was in it again and it was very similar to the dream I had with last month staring him. This time, something happened to the lockers and it was going to take a while to clean it up. Our only chance to do it was after school and he didn't have a ride to get home. I spoke up and offered him a ride home. I had guts in this dream! 
1. I just got back from a family reunion. It was ok, but I find those gatherings a little boring. Does your family ever have any reunions or annual get-togethers? Do you enjoy them? Thanksgiving is held at my Great Uncle Tommy's home in Chattanooga. However, my branch of the family felt left out the past two years so we probably going to Nashville for our own small Thanksgiving.
2. A gal I work with told me that when her husband's drivers licsence comes up for renewal, she swipes it. She says he won't ever pose for pictures and that's the only way she can get a photo of him. Is that not creepy? Are you a picture person? Do you like taking photos, and having yours taken? I don't like having my photo taken too much. That photo of me from Spring Training is the last photo I allowed to be taken of me. I was clean, my hair was out of the way, and I didn't have glasses on. I like to look ok in my photos. 
3. Time for show and tell: post a recent photo of yourself!
4. I have a cousin I always knew as Jay. As he got into college, he began to go by Greg. Turns out is name was Greg, Junior. Jay was short for Junior! Can't blame him for changing it. Did you ever have a nick-name growing up? How did it come about? Did you ever give anyone a nickname that stuck? My sisters go by nicknames. My brother and I do not. I wish I had a one. My middle name would have been better. You might want to read my post "I wish there was a hit song named 'Shawn'"
5. Since I don't have cable, a friend promised to send me a few episodes of "Trading Spaces," the show where folks redecorate someone else's home (and I'm still waaaaiiiting on that tape). But that got me to thinking about how I'd change my own house if I were able. And the room I'd do first would be the bathroom. If you could design the bathroom of your dreams, what would it be like? Spare no expense! First, have it's own water heater. I really haven't thought about designing my own bathroom. But it has to be bright in colors. That's the only thing I want out of it.
6. I've been trying to catch up on the early seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in re-runs, though I've been told to buy the DVDs. But I think I'd rather borrow them if I could. But there are a few television shows I'd like to own on DVD (like "The Flash" and "Max Headroom"). What shows (if any) do you own in a video collection? What TV shows would you like to see collected on DVD or video? My DVD collection has a total of 5 DVD;s. I can't afford them at this time. My father has Seasons 1 & 2 of Stargate SG-1 on DVD.
7. I recently watched "Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang" again, first time since I was little. It held up pretty well, unlike some movies that are better in your memory than they are when you see them again (like "E.T." good movie, but for me, better as a memory). Do you have any favorite movies from your childhood? Do you think you would still enjoy them if you watched them today? Muppets Take Manhattan will always be a classic for me. Anyone remember Explorers? with River Phoenix and Ethan Hawke? That was a cool movie as a child.
BONUS: Don't you know you're sleeping in a spotlight? Well, it doens't help that the street light is right outside my window and the neighbor keeps his carport light on all night.
