I went back to Texas for the Christmas break, and it was wonderful.  Except for the part where it was 70 degrees on the day before I arrived, and as my plane was circling Arkansas deciding when to land...it was 30 and snowing in Dallas/Fort Worth!  What?  Why!?  Well, I never!

It all melted on Christmas day, and then I spent the next week going around on all my little social calls to various friends.  Shashana had me over for hot cocoa.  Cousin Allison snuck me into Aunt Sandie and Uncle Bob's for dinner.  Morley sacrificed his house so Jackie, Jeremy, and I could have people over like Rhonda and Micah and Rachel, and we stayed up late sitting around the kitchen table eating Little Debbie Snack Cakes and giggling.  The next day we had breakfast at the ol' T&A truck stop.  Staci and I watched the Hangover on PPV and ate popcorn balls.  Holly, Cari, and I downed several bottles of wine.  Val met me for breakfast at a divey diner in FW that I am SO MAD I didn't know about when I lived there.  Then...onto Granbury for some quality time with Jackie and Jeremy who were in town from Seattle.  I specifically wanted to be with them on New Year's Eve, because I've spent the last few New Year's Eveses with them.

So there we were, watching Travis Pastrana jump the rally car over the Bellagio or whatever.  Then the ball dropped.  Everybody on TV was kissing.  Jackie and Jeremy started kissing.  Jeremy's sister and her husband were kissing.  Jeremy's parents were totally making out.  And there I was, the seventh wheel and there was no one for me to kiss but the dog.  So I did. 

The end.

I just got back from another trip to Austin for work.  I always seem to have really strange dreams when I'm out of my normal sleeping element.  And I'm pretty good about documenting these dreams.  Not so much for any psychological analysis...moreso just for my own entertainment.  I keep them all in a Ponyboy Curtis-style composition book.  I just spent a few minutes scanning through this book, and I'm going to share some of my favorite dreams with you...

• 10 MAY 2007 - I was a member of the Royal Court of Sweden, and the two red-headed twins from America's Next Top Model were my chambermaids.  Our reign was called the Malmsteen Dynasty.
  
  
• 16 SEP 2001 - With all the possibilities of computer animation, Hollywood decided to get rid of all human actors.  Except two, and they held a vote to choose which two actors those would be.  They chose Sharon Stone and Haley Joel Osment.
  
  
• 14 AUG 2000 - (note: this was in my most intense wrestling-watching days) ...then Ken Shamrock and Tazz started feuding.  Somehow I got pulled into this.  Ken was making Tazz sign a document promising not to put him in the Tazzmission.  They wanted me to sign as a witness, and Shane McMahon was there, too, since he was a notary...
  
  
• 17 OCT 1999 - I was in junior high and I was riding my bike back to the house because I had forgotten my homework.  When I got back, KISS had taken over the school.  I was very excited by this prospect until I got closer, and realized they were making everyone run laps.
