Do you remember a few days ago when I posted the picture of the sunrise and there was an orb in the shot? Maybe I should take some pictures inside the house. Maybe I should go back and look at the inside shots I've posted to see if there are any orbs in them.... here's why.
At our house resides a morning person, Me! and a night owl... Jody. Last night as I was about to go to bed Jody mentions that I should turn off the lamps and TV before I go to sleep. I said I do turn the lamps off and I put the TV on the timer so it shuts off. He said Wednesday night, when he came to bed, both the lamp on my side of the bed was on, as well as the lamp on his side of the bed and I was sleeping with my hand over my eyes. I try to be in bed every night by 9, I watch a little TV, read, set the timer on the TV to turn off in no more than 30 minutes, but end up turning it off myself. When I'm too tired to read I'll turn the light off. We have a king sized bed... I never reach all the way over there to turn his light on, just to have to turn it off.... But he said I was sound asleep with my hand over my eyes and every thing was turned on.... hmmm. Am I sleep walking again?
I've done it before.... always during stressful times of my life. When we moved here, I awoke to find myself in the kitchen. I had been dreaming I was driving and was 2 blocks from the house going to the grocery store. Another time Jody woke me and I was sitting on the edge of the bed and had been sitting there for quiet some time. He's a VERY light sleeper and I'm the opposite, so if I move in the night, especially up out of the bed, he knows it. So could I have turned everything back on? It has been a stressful week.
I was ready to just accept the sleep walking/not walking only moving around, but then this happened. Shortly after Jody told me about the lights and TV, I realized I hadn't brushed my teeth so I went to do so. I had been watching the news on the TV and the light on my side of the bed was also on. When I came out of the bathroom Jody's light was on too!!!! OK, he's messing with me.... I went into the living room where Jody is sitting in the recliner plinking on a mandolin, calmly watching the TV with the sound muted. "Did you turn on your lamp?" "Nope." "You're not messing with me are you?" "Nope. Why?" (And we wonder where Jeff learned to have short conversations...) I told him what I found when I came out of the bathroom, hoping he'd have one of his always logical explanations. All he said was "hmmph." I walked back to the bedroom thinking, "I'm wide awake, I'm not sleepwalking, my dreams are never this vivid... it's got to be an electrical something or another that could be explained by a certified electrician but he's busy plinking, try not to think about it.... it will make good blog fodder, now get to bed."
So that's why I'm up so early, with some idle chit chat. Maybe we have a ghosty in the house who's into hyjinx. My hairdresser had 3 in her house. Won't it be fun? When people come over weird things could happen like lights blinking on or off, or something falls off the table. Just as long as it's not that little green mucus looking guy from Ghost Busters, the hot dog eater.... I'd have to hose him. I think Dee Dee's (my hairdresser) ghosts were pioneer people. A woman, boy and little girl. Very interesting story.
One final thing... for you long time bloggers out there. What does the word blog mean? Is it an acronym for blah blah log? Because that's sometimes how I feel, that I'm just typing blah, blah, blah.... do you really find my postings all that interesting? It's rather fun writing, but I live my life and it's not all that exciting. Just wondered.

Hey, I know you, you're wonderful!
Thanks for commenting on my last post and thanks for being a friend to Maria. She needs friends more than most. I've seen and read your comments on Maria's blog many times but never ventured over to your blog. Sorry. Glad I finally did though. You're an interesting and fun gal. I'l be dropping in often, if you don't mind. Hope you'll give me a gander too.
Thanks for being out there and being someone admirable.
God (Brian)
This is why we blog. Not for the blah blah, but for the rah rah.
The rah rah of friends getting together, sharing their days, no matter how dull we might believe ours to be when compared to say, being that bloke ice-skating through Africa.
I read very few blogs. Only the blogs I find interesting, candid, well-written.
I write a lot of blog posts.
This is because I love writing. Not necessarily the thinking up the content [I rarely think about what to post, it's just a random hurl]
but the physical act of typing.
And you do too. Writing is catharic.
Also, your blog posts are so funny.
As are your emails.
Don't stop.
p.s Made me larf re: Short answers. I love your blog because the personalities of those in your life are also shared.
i dont think there are ghosts in our house. must be you sleep walking, maybe you are just missing me because you had to fall asleep with your hand over your eyes when I was home because I would sit on your bed and watch tv with that light on.... :) so you are sleep walking.
Thank you Godinla and welcome to my world. I have stopped by your blog several times, loved the post about the human bone in the neighbor's yard... what ever happened with that? You are a teacher right?
Maria... you make sense of everything for me, thanks.
Jolea... I need explanation of the lights that were on... I know I wasn't asleep last night.
its electrical or maybe those touch sensors are getting old.
The bones, ah yes, the bones. I left the bones to rest in peace. My wife advised me to keep my nose out of things. She's smarter than I am, so I listen.
I was a teacher for many years but I'm no longer in the classroom. I love the students and there's nothing like being up at the blackboard but I've had enough of staff. I'm trying to make it in life as a writer (my true love). Trying is the pivotal word there. Maybe hoping or praying are better words.
Thanks for opening your world to me.
Jolea, you are sounding more and more like your dad, you sound logical.
Godinla, what are you going to write about if you don't go poking your nose into other business out there... what the neighbors are up to is what's interesting. At least for me it is.
Blog is from "web log". Say web log 3 times fast.
