Jesus is my Boyfriend

I know, odd title-- but read further into my weekend notes (and general randomness) and you'll understand :)

--first of all, my dreams have not really improved, and I don't understand why I keep having such weird ones. The other night I dreamt that I died in a plane crash. I looked it up and seeing yourself die in a plane crash apparently is a warning you need to keep your passions in check, and plane crashes in general signal some kind of upcoming business failure. both bad. great that's just what I need. Then last night I had an odd dream where I was at some huge work function where everyone seemed to know each other and be uniformed except me. There were football teams, an actuary union (yes I know- odd), military... it was weird. and I had lost the team I was working with, then when I was looking I kept running into the most RANDOM people from my life, like an old high school friend I haven't talked to since and one of my junior high school crushes that moved away in 8th grade! WTF?! I am starting to think my brain is just really screwed up.

--for those of you that have been asking about my new interim preacher crush, well, we went back to that church this morning. What we liked about it initially was that it was friendly and that there seemed to be a lot of people our age. But, the only class we really fit into ended up being full of people younger than us (college age) that had to be told what a cubicle was. Not exactly the "career singles" class we thought we were attending. Plus, being in Sunday School reminded me how much I hate it, because no matter what there will always be at least the one person that says things like "through God's work we were able to overcome" or "open your heart and let Jesus in" or EVEN the dreaded "let go and let God!" Well, this morning's resident mega-Christian told us about the girls she mentors and the nights they have called, "A Date with Jesus". Yes, and now you understand. And, lastly, the interim preacher was not quite as good looking after hearing a girl on my team's account of what an absolute jerk jock type he was in high school. Oh well.

--in other randomness, I keep meaning to link Dave Barry's 2004 Year in Review, which is one of the things I look forward to most every year at New Year's-- it always has a unique wit and wisdom that always has me laughing out loud! so, here you go. read and enjoy :)

--also, I was watching my Gilmore Girls Season 1 DVD's last night (thanks, Jeffy!), and I noticed that Edward Herrmann, the celebrated actor who plays Richard, says "horrible" just like me! Now, I know none of you care, but since I have been teased about my "Philly accent" (whatever the heck that is) mercilessly since I left Bucks County and especially recently, this made me very happy :Þ

-- in the best of recent car stuff, I have to tell you about my new favorite bumper sticker and billboard-- they join the Mustang at work with the license plate "MMMBEER" as the best of the best in auto wisdom...
first, seen on a car in the parking lot at work: "Grow your own dope-- Plant a man!" hehehe. and second, seen on a billboard in Philly: "Go ahead, pick your nose" on a plastic surgeon's ad! lol. I have always had a favorite Philly billboard, stupid as that may be. When I was younger it was the Toll Brothers one that advertised "Council Rock from the low 400's" because I thought it was so cool that my school district was advertisable, especially 45 minutes away. After I graduated, though, my favorite became the one that said "Hey Philly, we'd put up a headline but you'd just boo it!" I don't remember what company that was, but they clearly had the city figured out :)

Oh, and speaking of the city, we also have a new blog friend from Philly or thereabouts, so if that happens to be you out there reading, check in and say hi, okay? especially if you happen to be an old friend...

--k last note of the day: did everyone hear that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston are separating? Us Magazine will never be the same... :)

I hope everyone has a great rest of the weekend! And don't forget the new Desperate Housewives episode tonight! hehehehe. later all.
