Nightmares and Dreamscapes
Is the name of a Stephen King novel. There, I said it. On with the post.
Yesterday was a bad day to be in Miami. See Roboco's post about the crane collapse, there were break-ins that resulted in shootings, the road that I take to travel the 9 miles from the place I work to my home was shut down because of a very bad accident involving two motorcycles resulting in a 2 HOUR drive to get home and the side street on the way was clogged up because of another motorcycle crash in which an older guy laid it down and was laying in the street when I went past. Yikes, what a nightmare for Miami.
There are only a few things that I am afraid of. I mean, really afraid of. Needles are one and bats are another. Not like baseball bats, flying rats. Those nasty little buggers. I've never been a fan ever since one dive-bombed my head when I was walking home at dusk when I was around 10 years old. ACK!
When I lived in Mexico, there were bats everywhere. I was freaked out all the time heading back to my room. There were places I wouldn't walk because I knew they were hiding in there. Slightly irrational? Yes. I've seen them on the ground. I know how big they are. They're small. That doesn't make them any less yucky.
Last night I dreamt that one flew into the house when we left our sliding glass door open. This wasn't a small black bat. This thing was huge and brown. I think that's why I called it a coconut bat* in the dream. It was as big as a freaking coconut! Lovey shooshed it out of the house while I screamed. I woke up this morning thinking, man I'm glad we got that stupid bat out of the house. It was just that real.
* I don't think there's any such thing as a coconut bat.
Today, Kiddo goes to Mom's, thankfully not on American Airlines as I'm watching CNN and they just cancelled about 200 flights. Tomorrow, we leave the country! No, I'm not excited or anything. 😀
It's hump day, ya'll. Get your hump on! Have a great day! HEP.
QotD: Neurotic Behavior
What's the one thing you're most neurotic about?
Without question my teeth.
I love to brush them and I love my Sonciare toothbrush and I HATE the feeling of grunge on my teeth. I will spend 20 minutes in the bathroom just brushing and flossing. I have my own plaque scraper and I know how to use it.
And oh yeah, I've never had a cavity. EVER. And I love my dentist.
QotD: You’d Better Recognize!
What talent do you have that you wish more people would recognize?
OH SNAP!
Is just being a bad-ass biznitch a talent? Cuz, fo' real, ya'll betta recognize!
Talent I should recognize? Being a good mommy and fiance.
Talent others should recognize? When I can focus long enough, I'm a pretty good writer. (I know, can't tell from my blog. :-P)
I'm a hella good bartender. I don't 'flair' and throw bottles and crap, but if you're the fourth deep in the bar, you better believe you're getting your drink on in the shortest amount of time possible. Don't wanna taste your booze? Got ya covered. Think I'm watering down your drink? After I bitch slap you I'll let you know that if you wanna go toe to toe with me, stop dancing and sweating it out faster than I can put it in and stand here with me. Then we'll see who's watered down. (Damn you Miami and your big boob to bartend requirement!)
Um, damn near professional smart-ass.
Oooh, yeah, and I'm a decent circus freak too. Not as bendy as I should be, but hey, gotta leave something to work on.
This is fun!
How about thinking for other people? I've become pretty good at that in the last <ahem> two years.
Did I go this long without discussing my, oh nevermind, that's just too obvious for the question posed.
Damn, I'm also a professional procrastinator. Get back to it, woman!
