The sad news is they didn't call my name for the drawing last night. The happy news is we left with slightly more money in our pockets than when we arrived and I have 2 more chances at the drawing. Tonight and tomorrow night. Mom is going with us tonight. It will be fun.
Despite a decent calorie day (no Chinese after all) I am up .6 lbs today. Of course I can be up .6 lbs from hour to hour even if I eat nothing!! LOL!!! So I guess all is well.
I finished watching The Green Zone while I exercised on my elliptical this morning. I have the last load of laundry in the washing machine and have plans to clean the bathroom upstairs including giving the dog a shower (before I clean the shower of course!!). Bob had to go into work for a couple of hours but he'll be home soon. Not too much on the agenda for the weekend except hopefully getting my name drawn for a $500 win!!! You have to be there to win so I MUST go ... just in case!!
I didn't sleep very well last night. I had a really bizarre dream that I work up from around midnight and I was afraid to go right back to sleep in case I continued the same crazy dream. It is too weird to describe but included driving with my eyes closed. Have you ever had those kind of dreams??? Every once in a while I do. Quite disturbing. I hope it doesn't mean anything ... like I am going through my life with my eyes closed when they should be open. LOL!!
I'd like to finish up my tasks around here and maybe fit in a nap today. We'll see how that works out. In the mean time here is my grateful list for today.
1. Slightly cooler temps this morning with a cloud cover which is nice since I am using the washer and dryer!!
2. Being nearly done with laundry before noon!!!
3. My newly organized work space.
4. The hope of being able to sleep in tomorrow morning.
5. Feeling slightly annoyed at the fluctuation up on the scale despite a low calorie day followed quickly by realizing it really doesn't mean a damn thing.
Have an enjoyable Saturday whatever is on your agenda!! I plan on continuing to practice kindness towards myself and continue to walk my path with as little negativity as possible. Here's to another day and another opportunity to SHINE!!!

am still keeping my fingers crossed for you and hope you are lucky and win. Either way I know you will have a great time tonight. I am not doing much of anything yet myself. Still have to exercise. I never saw Green Zone. Was it good? I hate having weird dreams too and waking up feeling so unsettled. You've accomplished a lot more than I have this morning so I guess I better get on the ball. Enjoy your day! Oh and I replied to your comment on my journal.

I did enjoy the Green Zone. The acting was good. I like Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear. The story line is depressing though. All about the false intel about weapons of mass destruction. And we are STILL in Iraq. And soldiers are STILL being killed. I just finished the ironing and am having a snack of vanilla yogurt and a banana. Then it is upstairs to shower the dog and clean the bathroom. Bob just called and he's getting the oil changed in his truck and then heading home. I'll wander over to your journal and see what you had to say there!!

I've been having some weird dreams too. I usually don't remember my dreams because I sleep like a dead log, lol, but I think being sick has made my sleep less deep. I had a crazy dream the other night that the weeds in my yard were like 50 feet tall and we couldn't get out of the house and D was trying to saw them down with a chainsaw. Psychoanalyze that! Hope you have a great weekend :)

Hey Moose, nightmares are horrible. I used to get them a lot as a child but now they are more weird then scary as I can better rationalize that it is only a dream which you are right, Thank goodness!! What driving with my eyes closed means to me. It means I do not know exactly where I am going, and sometimes more often then not I am going at a rapid pace. I have the choice to trust that deep inside I'll know what to do.
Music by Sir Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin From the soundtrack Friends.
I hope the day will be a lighter highway For friends are found on every road. Can you ever think of any better way For the lost and weary travellers to go. Making friends for the world to SEE Let the people know you got what you need. With a friend at hand you will SEE the light. If your friends are there then everything's all right. It seems to me a crime that we should age. These fragile times should never slip us by. A time you never can or shall erase. As friends together watch their childhood fly. I love this Elton John song, I'm Back, P.S. I have a comment in your July 30th journal too. Towanda!

If you didn't overdo things yesterday I'm pretty sure that we will see a drop today, as you say 0.6 pounds is insignificant. I have strange dreams like that from time to time, especially when I've overeaten. As far as I can see there is often no meaning at all just bizarre things from the subconscious mind. Good Luck on the drawing and have a great day moose!

Hello Moose!I hope you didn't have this nightmare again. that is uncomfortable, I had nightmares not so long ago and I know the feeling of waking up and hoping we won't get back to the dream when we fall asleep... What dreams mean is very personal, only you know what it is about. They usually mean something, but the message is not always clear. Your subconscious is at work.... I hope you're having a wonderful weekend, and you'll tell us about it! Take care
