Weekly Wrapup #37: Sweet Dreams are Made of This (because I’m Slow)

In the past week have you had any nightmares?

Yes. Lately I’ve been having nightmares about working at Wal-mart again and also Ryan not being able to come home.

Are your dreams usually pleasant?

My dreams are usually confusing and upsetting.

Do you usually remember your dreams?

I do right away but it fades over time.

Do you have any reoccuring dreams or themes?

My Wal-mart nightmares and lately I’ve been dreaming about Ryan a lot. Wonder why? ;)

4. I met my husband online.
5. Cole is short for Nicole.
6. I think of myself as Cole, not Nicole.
7. I’ve only ever felt the desire to have children twice in my life.
8. When I was younger, we lived in the country and sometimes I want to go back.
9. During my teens, all I wanted was to get away from home but now that I’m away, all I want is to go back.

• Karen

Weekly Wrapup!

In the past week have you had anything break? Unfortunately, quite a few things have broken: the pull chain on the light/fan fixture, our car alarm went off randomly and somehow we sprung a leak from the water heater/pipes which is in our floors and wall!

What was the reason (rough treatment, old age/worn out, inexplicable breaking)? The pull chain might have been us being rough but I have no idea about the car and water. =/

Were you able to fix it yourself, did you take it to someone to fix or did you have to toss it? We called in maintenance to look at the pull chain because I did not want to deal with wires and electricity. We had to have the car towed to the dealership where we bought it. Luckily they took care of the towing and shutting off the alarm. We called maintenance who instructed us how to shut off the water in the place but they’ll have to ultimately fix it.

If you haven’t had anything break recently, what was the last thing which broke?
Recently, we also had the garbage disposal stop working. I guess it was rusted and corroded through. =/ They had to order a replacement, though. We’re waiting on that.

Are you fairly capable when it comes to fixing things around the house, car or work? Or do you usually depend on others (like maintenance)? If I feel that I know what I’m doing, I love to fix things and be hands on. I don’t want to touch things I might make worse or if I’m over my head in knowledge, like with the wires in the light.

Today was another story, which doesn’t really matter to me because I wouldn’t have gone either. However, I’m not sure why it was a snow day because there is about 5 more inches of snow, but the roads are perfectly fine. They’re even better hype here, now, than when we have 2 or 3 inches. So my day off isn’t so special.

I actually didn’t go to the courthouse with mom and Tim because Tim told me not to. I was really tired and couldn’t drag myself out of bed. Then I decided I have nothing to wear that isn’t black, which is true. It sounds like I didn’t miss much. Liz, my aunt, and Grandpa went too and from what Mom says Liz got the car stuck in the driveway because Grandpa told her that she needed to turn around and he’s driven “for over forty years” so he should know. Then when everyone was in the mall parking lot Liz said “if he hadn’t said anything” and Grandpa said her husband deserve to beat her. So she was crying and said “Fuck you” really loudly while Mom and Tim were heading to the car and trying not to be associated. Later Grandpa was all “I still love you Lizzie.” I know he’s aging but these aren’t just personality traits. Sometimes the thing that he says are downright scary.

Mrs. Farmer said my interview went well, and that I really won people over because of my decision to go to Arizona blindly. They know that financial circumstances are a problem and we can’t really overcome them at this time, so I hope that will be a factor in what scholarships I may receive and how much. On the topic of money, Ben made me feel better the other night because he said one day I will own a house and have five cars and not have to worry about it. II <3 Ben

I had some problems with my Lita Ford fanlisting, but now they’re fixed. We really need some people to apply to be reviewed at Adrenaline. So pretty, pretty please? -gives puppy dog eyes*

Here’s the Friday Five
What was…

1. …your first grade teacher’s name?
I think it was Mrs. Louis, but I don’t remember her at all. I don’t even remember my kindergarten teacher’s name.

2. …your favorite Saturday morning cartoon?
Garfield! dun dun dun dun (Garfield theme song!)

3. …the name of your very first best friend? Crystal

4. …your favorite breakfast cereal?
We never had anything good. Once we had to eat oatmeal for two months straight because my mom’s ex is an asshole. Needless to say, I rarely touch oatmeal anymore. I really like honeycomb now, though. Oh! Wait! I remember that I used to have cream of wheat at grandma’s house and I loved it. She always made it so perfectly and I could never master that art. Go Grandma!

5. …your favorite thing to do after school?
I used to have this Best Friends Forever club thingy. So I did that a lot. I’d call meetings on Saturdays and the like. Hum. I’d come home and play Barbies a lot. I also played house and took walks. We lived in the country so I could disappear for hours down by the creek. I didn’t watch a lot of TV, I know that. I would play with the cats and dogs and sometimes I would go out into “the shed” which is where Dan kept all his “junk” and take some inside. Dan was a “junk man;” he collected old appliances and tore them apart to sell the metal to places as scrap or to sell as parts. He kept this in the shed and out behind the shed. So the stuff I was bringing in was dirty and not very healthy.
