Some Things

My desk is shaking. The whole building is vibrating. No, I'm not blogging during an earthquake...they're just re-paving the receiving dock. Anyway, I keep thinking of things that I should blog about...and forgetting them.

How about a list?

1. We played our new convention song Send Me to The Moon for my boss. He commented that The Mollies have a sound similar to Enya...and oh, Jimmy Buffet. Go figure.

2. I made a delicious sugar free rice pudding. I have triumphed.

3. Kathy's little baby River is a dear. Her existence has fueled my unconsciousness with pregnancy dreams. I have this dream quarterly at the least. It usually starts with me discovering that I am "in the family way" (thanks Joanna for the euphemism).

I then question how this could be. It can't be...it's physically impossible. And yet...I am convinced that I have mysteriously become pregnant. But I can't leave it at that. In every dream...in order to defend my honor, I set out to determine the cause. I usually come up with these two options:

a. Artificial Insemination (by stealth...possibly in my sleep)

-or-

b. Immaculate Conception (not likely)

After carefully considering these options...I eventually come to the realization that I may be dreaming. My thought process then proceeds thusly:

"There is no way that I could be pregnant right now...right...so I must be dreaming. Yes, and if I am aware that I am currently dreaming, I can probably make an effort to regain consciousness and consequently end this madness. Yes, do it. Wake up".

I then awaken...flooded with relief. Not because I think being pregnant would be the worst thing in the world. Babies are gems. I'm just not ready...or married.
