I have been trying to blog more frequently, and it has been working for a few months, but in July I have really fallen off the bandwagon. Mostly because I am trying to relax and catch my breath a bit! I have managed to (finally) debut a new blog theme using the Thesis WordPress theme as a foundation, so if you’re viewing this post from your RSS reader, feel free to cruise over to the site and check it out. It’s pretty basic and I hope to improve on it in the future…but I like the colors and I am getting a sense for what Thesis can do and am quite pleased with it so far.
Yesterday I went to Caress Day Spa with Leah and we each got a citrus body scrub. It was amaaaazing (and very relaxing). Afterwards we ate lunch at Gayle’s Bakery & Rosticceria. Life is getting just a bit stressful with Corner’s job situation being so uncertain, so I’d say I definitely deserved some relaxation time.
Megan and I bought tickets to see Lady Gaga in San Jose on August 17! I am so pumped. I ordered a blonde wig on eBay last night. I already have a dress and shoes to wear….now I just need some fake eyelashes and some cool leggings or tights. I’m pretty sure I haven’t been this excited since the Spice Girls’ reunion tour.
I bought some new books last week, rounding out my Day Zero goal to buy at least 10 items off my Amazon.com wish list. It also proves that I am still secretly a teenager. Either that, or it’s starting to look like I will never grow out of young adult fiction.
I have been having tons of crazy dreams lately. One night last week I dreamt that I was a passenger on a bus that got hijacked. The hijacker was a blonde woman who began killing everyone sitting on the right side of the bus, row by row. She warned us not to try and fight back. I was sitting in the very last seat on the right side, and I tried to hide by ducking behind the seat. The girl in front of me had been shot directly between the eyes. From under the seat I could see her and all the other dead bodies that had been killed in front of me. Then the blonde hijacker strode to the back of the bus, cackling about how I couldn’t hide from her. Suddenly I had a large metal pole in my hands and I beat her over the head with it until she was unconscious (which took a surprisingly long time).
Here’s what dreammoods.com has to say about this:
- To dream that you are riding a bus implies that you are going along with the crowd. You are lacking originality and control over where your life is taking. To dream that you are in a bus accident suggests that it is time for you to move away from a group setting and venture out on your own. You need to be more independent.
- To dream that something has been hijacked symbolizes your loss of control. The dream may be analogous to someone or something that has taken over an aspect of your life. In particular, to dream that an airplane is hijacked, signifies disturbing feelings and past emotions in your unconscious mind.
- To see a killer in your dream suggests that an essential aspect of your emotions have been cut off. You feel that you are losing your identity and your individuality. Alternatively, this dream may represent purification and the healing process. You are standing up for yourself and putting a dramatic end to something.
- To see a pole in your dream represents security and stability. The dream is a reminder that you always have something or someone you can lean on.

I absolutely ADORE young adult fiction. Don’t feel bad. I don’t think we ever grow out of it. :)
