Is It Spring Yet?

This time zone thing is driving me crazy. My computer gets so screwed up with it. I set it and somehow it goes back to what it wants. Im sure Im not the only one this happens to. So the other day I set the time ahead like I was supposed to. I rely on this clock because when Im on line at night, its the only one I see. This is the one that tells me when I have to go to bed.

So anywho, last night I was sitting there chatting with some friends. Someone that would normally come on line at about midnight came on at about 11:15. You would think this would set me off but I didnt really think about it. I just chalked it up that he came on early. That at about 1:30am, another friend said we were all up late and he left to sleep. So to me, that 1:30am thing was time for me to sleep too. So I said goodnight and left. When I got into bed, I looked over at the alarm clock and it said 3:00am!!! I was stunned.

Needless to say that I knew I wasnt getting enough sleep last night. But I had the strangest dream. One more thing, dont eat cheese before bed. I know I say this alot but its true. And of course I eat it. Anyways, this dream was a really good one. I was wearing clothes though.

I was walking through the city in the middle of the night. It was pouring rain. I had on a denim jacket and over that I put a hoodie on inside out. I dont know why I would do that though. But the hood was up and my hair was a wet mess. As I was walking home, a car pulled up. It was towing a boat. My stepdad was driving it and told me to get in the boat. I wouldnt so he got out and threw me up in it. As he was pulling away, I jumped out and ran.

As I was running, some dude started chasing me. So I ran up to a house and told them to call the cops. Apparently he was just trying to help me because I was screaming. But I wasnt hearing that part. As I was yelling at him to get away from me, he was telling me that I was at the house he lived at. So this made me panic more and I started running again.

I reached an alley and I took off my jackets. I put the grey one the right way so it was now black. I tucked the hood inside. Then I put the denim one on over that. I combed my hair back into a ponytail and put some makeup on. I then walked into a minimart to get something to eat and a coffee. As I was leaving, the cops came up to me and asked me if I saw some crazed screaming woman running in the street. I told them no and then moved on. I went on home and thats when I woke up. How weird is that? But all in all, that running made me even more tired. So needless to say, I didnt get any sleep last night.

This morning was strange too. Usually Im arguing with my kid to wake up and get ready for school. This is a constant struggle. So I told her last night that she had to have a good morning if she wants her TV and DS back. THis morning I got up and she was sitting on the couch eating her breakfast. She was dressed and ready to go. I was so shocked that I asked who she was.

After I was all ready to go, I walked past my cabinet and grabbed the deoderant and the body spray. I do this as my last thing in the morning. Maybe I should start it after my shower. Anywho, I ran out of my usual deoderant. I normally use a solid. But I had one I bought a while back to try and didnt like. Its one of those "liquid/solids" sort of gel like thing where you dial up the bottom and a white stuff comes out of the holes in the top.

So in my still unconscious state, I took the top off and proceeded to dial it up. I the put it to my armpit and started to apply. Apparently the part with the little holes came off with the cap and now I have this huge chunk of smeared nasty gel stuff running down my side. Cami started laughing. I wasnt thrilled with this. So she gave me a towel to clean it all up and I had to change my shirt. She then handed me her deoderant to use for the day. So I went to school smelling like powder fresh on one side and Hannah Montana on the other.

The day was a great day. Its been a really warm week. In the high 50sF and low 60sF. Im hoping that Spring has actually arrived. I know I will jinx it and we will get a snow storm soon. But who cares. Im liking this now. This past winter was pretty miserable for alot of people. All the snow is gone in my back yard. Now I cant see the dog when she goes to the back fence to do her duty. But its still nice out even at night.

I like standing outside late at night to look at the few stars the city lights would allow me to see. Its so peaceful and quiet. I can hear the trains in the distance. I can hear the cars on the road. But in the back yard, the spotlight from my porch only goes just so far. After that its dark. I live on a corner as the second house in. I can see down the side street. Down near the end of it is a street light. Every 30 seconds, it comes on flashing that blue/green color. It flashes a few times before it goes to a solid green light. As it brightens, it changes to orange. About 30 seconds later, it turns off and starts the process all over again. That would annoy the hell out of me if I were living in the house where it is. But at a distance, its pretty cool to watch.

I recieved an email last night from the lady that does the new letter for the camp ground. The camp opens in 29 days. Its a good sign for summer to come. I cant wait for the camp to be opened so that I can bring my trunk back down to finish it up. Ive been waiting all winter for this. I opened the email and she takes pictures of everything that goes on down there. The winter pictures are for those that cant get down there to check on their trailers. Its a sort of thing where we can still see whats going on.

For the last few weeks, the snow was really piled up down there so she wasnt able to get into the park. But this weeks photos show something bad. The lake is still frozen. Most of the roads still have about a foot of snow. The ones that are clear are all mud and some are flooded. But there are alot of trailers that have their decks caved in. So Im looking to see if mine is in any of the shots. I dont see it. Im taking that as a good sign. I called my mom and her boyfriend to tell them. They will call the lady up and see about the trailer. So Im waiting for news for that. I wont be in town this weekend to drive all that way to check on it myself. But mom also said that they wont be coming north til the first week of May.

I cant wait that long.
