Early Snow Days.

This is what I woke up to the other morning.  Yippeee!  I didn't go out and play in it though.. it was too damn cold!  Lol.  It wasn't enough snow to make a good-sized snowman either.  I'll hold out on my snowman for now.  It's been really cold and it doesn't look like the weather will let up very much this winter.  I'm expecting tons and tons of snow this season!  Yay.  I love snow.  I just can't stand being cold.  I am a walking contradiction.  At least I'm not dying of heatstroke like the rest of the kids in Hawaii.  Hahahah ;)


In other news.. anyone watch/hear the Broncos vs. Patriots game yesterday?  We're 5-0, b&tches!!  Who woulda thunk?  After a less than spectacular preseason, the Broncos have bounced back and keeping a 5 game winning streak.  Yesterday's game was a game of epic proportions.  The protege (Broncos coach, Josh McDaniels) pitted against the mentor (Patriots coach, Bill Belichick).  This game also had the potential to solidify the Broncos spot as an up-and-coming team this season, to quiet all the nay-sayers.  Of course, people will still hate, but what are you going to do?  I have to admit, I wasn't very optimistic about the team this season, but I remained hopeful.  We have a tough schedule ahead of us and I hope the Broncos continue to do well!  The offense and defense are looking pretty solid!  Cross your fingers for me that I win the Canon Sweepstakes so I can win a camera and shoot photos the Broncos on the sidelines!!  Hehe.


P.S.
I forgot to mention earlier, I think my brain is going crazy.  Last night by far showcased the weirdest dream I have ever had.  Peter & I had twins, a boy & a girl, I think.  They were half human, wait for it..., half dogs.  Yes, dogs.  They looked like regular babies, but with white, brown, & black hairs/fur.  I dreamt of going to a grad party of an 'online friend' who was pretty well off.  She denied access to people that were only invited to the 'formal' grad party since the 1st party was just for good friends.  At the formal party, she hired singers, young children, that created music by rubbing the rims of cups and singing along.  Think on the lines of church choir children & classical music.  The formal party turned into a theme park-ish kind of vibe by the shore.  There was a merry-go-round and a reggae band performing (if only I could remember that song!).  During the performance, beyond the cliff, a huge tidal wave started heading towards us.  We all managed the first set, but then an even bigger wave followed.... That as far as I remember. Weird.

DreamWeaver.

Currently upgrading my Adobe DreamWeaver program from CS3 to CS4.  I've been having error boxes constantly popping up for a month now so it'll be a nice change.  Hopefully it's not too different from the previous version, but I'm sure I'll get used to it nonetheless.


I'm going to need to clear out some files on my computer soon though.  I only have 5GB left!  I don't know how that's possible since I don't have THAT many programs installed & maybe 13GB of songs?  I'm not sure.  Half my harddrive is probably photos though.  Yeah, I can guarantee that.  Haha.  Can't help it though :)


Speaking of which... I got all 225 of my photos in the mail this past week!  300 if you count the 75 I sent to my mom.  The best part... they were FREE!  Thanks to Snapfish.com for their free shipping code ;)  All the photos were from our trip to London, so I'm pretty stoked to have them all printed & in hand.  Some things are just better when you have a physical copy.  I've already got some of the photos displayed around the house!  I also printed up duplicates of some photos for my mom & my cousin's family in London.  Need to remember to send those out to them ASAP.  I also need to get a photo album or maybe even better, a scrapbook!  I saved a bunch of the stuff we had in London.  Our plane tickets, tour tickets @ Chelsea Stadium, maps, etc!


Ok, download is done :)


P.S.
I meant to make a note of it.  I've been having really weird dreams lately.  I don't normally dream in a "fantasy-like" kind of setting/plot.  Perhaps it's all of the Dragonball Z that I've been watching?  Last night's dream was pretty disgusting though.  I could see myself throwing a punch towards Peter's way in my dream, but I could also feel myself acting out the motion in REAL LIFE.  The funny thing is, I was so aware of my movements, I actually thought to myself if I should go through with & go through with throwing a punch. And I did.  It was quite amusing. I don't normally move around/talk in my sleep... so I guess I figured, why not?  Haha.  All the other dreams consist of hidden passage ways, drunken stupor with a friend, & SNAKE for breakfast for my friends & I, courtesy of my mother.  Yeah, not to sure where all of it comes from.  Hopefully tonight will bring about more dreams.  Night night.

Hello Subconscious.

If our dreams speak our subconscious desires, then my dreams have been channeling the same message to me time and time again.  If my dreams decided to transcend thought and manifest themselves into reality, I would not fight it.


Despite waking up numerous times today, I kept falling back into the same dream.  As per the usual, there are a few significant parts that remain vivid in my mind.  I love the fact that I can remember a good portion of my dreams.  I can't imagine waking up a whole week without remembering a dream.


Anywho, it seems as if we've gone from summer and headfirst into winter!  What happened to everything in between?  I told Peter we'll have a crazy winter up ahead of us, but I didn't anticipate it starting in September!  Seriously, winter storm warnings already?  I could've sworn it was just 80+ degrees this past Sunday!


These past couple weeks have been dragging on.  I'm still dreaming about Europe.  I seriously want to move there.  Seriously.  I even looked up websites on how to achieve this.  Peter is right there with me on the idea.  I don't mind the cramped spaces, the older feel, all the walking, or crazy taxes.  I just need to find a way there, pronto!


We've also spent a good amount of the time cooking.  Peter cooked fajitas one night & two different kinds of pasta on another night.  He had marinara sauce + meatballs & he made alfredo for me!  Yum.  None of that out-of-the-can stuff either.  Homemade alfredo is the best, especially when cooked by my boyfriend!  I made oven-baked teriyaki chicken, chicken adobo, steamed sweet corn, crab dip, chili (no beans!), & the usual portuguese sausage, eggs, & rice.  Not too shabby.  The chili was the bomb diggity!  $6 for all the ingredients (thanks to Colorado prices!) & enough leftovers for a second meal!


On Sunday we had a late lunch at Old Chicago's, which was delicious.  As usual, we got way too much food.  We got the Italian Nacho's appetizer (freakin delicious!), I got the Wings & Pizza Rolls combo & he got the Wings & Pizza combo.  We were instantly hit with food coma, but I told Peter we have to stay for the rest of the Broncos game (that's why we went to OC's after all!).  We ended up winning, so that was awesome :)


Monday, it was cold and dreary, but I had to wake up early to meet with a client.  Our meeting ended up to be 2 1/2 hours long, which isn't too bad since I get paid for it :P  When I got home, we headed out for brunch at Village Inn and we both had Country Fried Steak (or was it Chicken Fried Steak?).  Food coma again.  We were supposed to watch a movie, but I ended up taking a nap and he played video games all day/night.  Haha.  Oh well.


Now I have a bunch of work to do on some websites and catching up on e-mail with clients.  Fun.

Labor Day Weekend

I had a great dream last night.  I know I had 3 dreams, that I should remember, but the 2nd dream overshadowed the rest.  Hence, it's the one I remember most vividly.  I love how real my dreams feel sometimes.  I know this dream was a reflection of my subconscious as well.  I woke up unable to help the smile :)


Yesterday was a pretty fun, event-filled day.  Peter & I headed down to Denver to enjoy Labor Day.  Since it took us FOREVER to find FREE parking, we decided to go to the Rockies vs. Reds game first.  HAHA.  Actually, we decided to eat first since stadium food costs an arm & a leg!  I had a chili dog and fries for lunch & he got a Chicago dog.  We watched the first 3 innings in the bar while we ate.


All the Rockpile ($5) tickets were sold out, so we got the next best seats at $10 a pop.  Peter thought we were in the right seats, but I knew we were supposed to be higher, but I didn't say anything.  Hahah.  This was my first Rockies game so I was pretty pumped!  The sun was glaring, the seats were hot.  Before long, our pants were & shirts were soaked with sweat.  I KNEW I should've stayed in shorts.  By the bottom of the 7th the clouds finally made their way over, bringing temporary relief from the sun.  It was SO hot, but at least we won 4-3!


After the game, we headed towards 16th St. Mall for the Taste of Colorado.  We got ourselves some tickets and walked around.  It was $5 for 8 tickets & it was usually 2 tix for a 'Taste'.. I tried some strawberry banana gelato, bacon wrapped chicken, rum marinated grilled pork, rice pudding, crab dip (freakin` awesomely delicious!), & got myself a small shave ice. There was a lot of people there.  I can't believe the things some people wore, their make-up, & hairstyle.  HAHA.  Anyway, it was fun.  I should've got the packs of dip though, it was seriously amazing!


After that we headed out to Peter's mom's working place & brought her some stuff from London.  We picked up some Pho to-go & I got a snow honeydew melon boba! I LOVE BOBA!  It was muy delicioso :)  Once we got home we ate the Pho for dinner and watched "Rockstar."  Not too bad of a movie.


Good times.  We were soooo tired after that!  I almost slept-in past 10am today!  Hahah.

Sex Dream Interrupted

"Inside every older person is a younger person wondering what happened."

 ~Jennifer Yane

Hahahaha, SO SO true!  A friend of mine posted all these photos of us during our Freshman year of college.  In looking back on these things, you really can't help yourself but wonder, where did all that time go?  What happened?  How did we get to this point now?  

I feel like the past 5 years have been such a blur.  An awesome blur that I wish could go on forever.  Then there's reality.  We're growing up!  Kinda.  I'd prefer to be a kid forever.  I'll try my hardest to resist the oncoming reality.

Oh, before I forget... I had awesome dreams last night.  The first had a bunch of my good friends, but I don't clearly remember the details.  My second dream... it was so vivid.  It took place in the room that I fell asleep in.  The time, the daylight, everything matched up between my dreamstate & reality.  I was laying in bed with my boyfriend (in my dream) and then as I was about to rip his clothes off, mount him, & have the greatest sexual extravaganza of my life.... I hear "Baby, it's 9:22. You should get up."  HAHAHAH.  Ultimate epic fail.  Total buzzkill.  I can't believe I was woken up from my dream.  It was going to be epic.  I've been waiting for a "sex dream" for a while.  Have you ever had one?  It's pretty amazing.  HAHA.  My dreams lately have been so vivid.  So happy.  I woke up this morning with a smile :)

Just a slight afterthought to tie the picture in more....

Everyday should be like your birthday.  Reborn.  Refreshed.  Renewed.  A new day.  A happy day.

The photo above is the birthday cake that I got for Peter earlier this month.  It's a single layer German Chocolate Cake.  It was quite delicious.
