good morning.
i'm not prone to waking up early unless otherwise unavoidable, such as the two days a week that i open and am awake at 4:00am. this morning however, i had to get up early to take ryan to the airport (lucky bastard gets to go to SXSW for work), and i'm so very glad that i did.
the morning air is crisp and it is foggy and dreamlike. i hear some birdies chirping through the open window. my puppy is chilled out near my feet. and i have just had a lovely british breakfast of tea and weetabix.
the only trouble is what to do with the two hours i have to kill before work? it's a toss up between a shower and gilmore girls. i'm thinking gilmore girls is gonna win out.

dreams
i have always had a very vivid and bizarre dream life. lately, my crazy dreams have been few and far between. mostly, they have been about work and angry customers and not hitting goals etc. however, last night i had one of the strangest dreams i have had in a long time...
mary and i were driving down dawn hill rd in siloam springs, ar on our way to the house my parents owned for the majority of my growing up years (they no longer live there, or in the same town).
i saw some dogs playing near the street and advised mary to be careful as to not hit them. then i realized it was gus and cleo (my parent's dog). we pulled over and got them into the car with us. a mile or so later i saw ryan in his trooper driving in our direction, we stopped and told him we had the dogs and all proceeded on our way to the house.
there was a tree that had fallen over into the road, it was huge--like the giant redwoods or sequoyahs or whatever they're called. so, we drove over it of course. in mary's mercury sable.
once we got to my parents house it was actually a chicken farm (quite normal in arkansas, but my parents are not chicken farmers). and of course my dad needed some help because the chickens had gotten out. i was horrified, because i am scared of all birds. i looked outside and all of the chickens were solid black and creepy like big vultures--except they were chickens.
i awakened suddenly and was scared for a second (the birds were really creepy) and then i started laughing hysterically. what a crazy dream. however, it is nice to wake up laughing.
