God is bowling

My parents used to tell me that thunder was God bowling... and lightening was a strike.

God sure is doing a lot of bowling.



It is currently pouring at work, though the only reason I can tell from my cubicle is because there is a skylight in the vincinity and I can hear it beating down.

I love the sound.




"Oh I love a rainy night... love a rainy night..."


Okay no, let's not go there.




Last night was really nice. Jon and I went to one of my favorite italian places in West Chester for dinner. I got what I always get - farfalette alla salmone. Mmmm bowtie pasta with salmon in a pink cream sauce. Yesterday I basically blew my attempt to NOT eat wheat by indulging in (in order) banana bread, a donut, a soft pretzel, bread, bruschetta, bow tie pasta, and sponge cake.

It was a delicious day.

Anyway, we had a leisurely dinner, and a good time too, I think.

Afterwards we went to Bed Bath and Beyond and picked up some things for my aunt and uncles wedding shower. Jon impulse bought some 350 thread count sheets... which, for some reason, felt better than the 600 count. He also bought us each a pillow, specifically designed for belly sleepers... well... as much as a $12 pillow can be.

We drove home and hung out for awhile, listening to the rain. It was good.




But then I slept HORRIBLY!

First of all, as I said, God was bowling. Like hardcore.

But then I had a really really bad dream.... i will do my best to describe it to you.


The dream was almost like jumanji...

Basically it started out with me driving along the road. And then I notice that some cattle are not within their fence. These aren't like plain old black and white cows, but sleek black and brown cattle with horns and everything. A big black one gets close to me... close enough to see a crazy look in his eyes... and then the stampede starts. I am in my car, so naturally I feel fairly safe enough though these huge animals are running past me.

Then one particularly large animal comes at my car head on... I figure they have to veer to the left or right... instead they go OVER my car... and in the process break the windshield and dent in the hood... they also crush down the roof. At this point I am really freaked out and I start wondering what was going on that would make this happen.

But then I find out. I HUGE ape... like King Kong sized.... comes loping over from my right. Another car starts coming towards me, and the ape grabs the car, pulls the person out, and starts ripping them to shreds. I decide that perhaps I ought to consider leaving... i put my pedal to the floor and hightail it out of there...

It is pouring in my dream. I come to a place where the road is sandwiched between a mountain and a river swollen with flood water. The road is lined with telephone and electrical wires... which, of course, have snapped and are now laying in a pool of water that has collected in the road. It is an impass.

There are other people there, and we do not know what to do.

We climb up this rickety wooden structure, hoping that perhaps we can somehow either move the wire without electrocuting ourselves, or get around that part of the road. We know though, that we are not safe in the woods by ourselves, we need some sort of vehicle.

Then the elephants come.

The elephants see us up on the wooden structure and begin to reach for us with their trunks. They want to eat us. You could just tell. They were pulling at the structure, trying to bring us down.

It was so scary.



I mean, sure, a cattle stampede, king kong, and some giant bloodthirsty elephants probably do not seem like a huge deal to you... but I was trying not to get trampled / eaten / fried.


I woke up as the elephants were shaking the wooden structure... it was before my alarm went off.



Scary scary!




So that was my dream, and I woke up with my heart absolutely racing. I am not sure what i would do in that situation... but I am pretty sure I do not have to worry about it now.


It must have been the lemon mousse before bed.
