I haven't rambled in a while?

I have been overwhelmed with a lack of home Internet usage and tons of family in town over the last few weeks.  We are painting and hanging light fixtures and making a huge mess of the house.  It's going to be so pretty pretty when it's all done though.  In the last three weeks my parents have come up and Dave's family has all come up and we've sanded and painted our dining room.  As soon as possible I will be posting home improvement pictures.  I swear...I really want to display the purple bathroom...BE GONE SATAN!  

So I don't want to talk about home improvement anymore because I lack the ability to show you all the hard work...It's so funny we've taken such a short period of time to pick colors to paint the house and I'm having such a hard time picking colors for my blog.  I'm a blatant copy cat I want to redesign my blog.  A friend of mine redid hers the other day and now I want a pretty site too.  It's hard though I don't want to pick something that I wont like next week, apparently the $1.50 I would spend on revamping and choosing a theme is a HUGE investment?  I'm such a wack job...seriously.  I just want to turn mediocre into marvelous!  Sheesh who knew this would be such a challenge.  

Today I woke up, rolled over and said "Husband, what was the movie you were watching last night about?" and he responds "Assassins."   At this point I just got really mad at him...I barely slept last night because the whole night I had bad dreams about assassins chasing me, and apparently there was some sort of Chinese Triad and Eddie Murphy (to which Dave responded "I would run away from Eddie Murphy too.")  Thanks for the help husbando!  We stopped at a convenient food store type of place and we were sneaking bites of animal crackers and soda because we didn't have the money to pay for them.  We left the store and we were weaving through cars all waiting in line to drop their dogs off to a doggie birthday party where they were serving whole roast chickens.  I have no idea where parts of this dream came from.  We had a delicious vegetarian dinner before bed I wasn't even craving meat or extra protein.  My whole dream ended with me consuming a huge roasted chicken leg and corn on the cob because of course my partner (who changed throughout the dream) and myself were so hungry....anyway then my alarm went off.  I know it's anti climatic but really where was the fresh organic produce and meat plus Eddie Murphy assassin dream going to go anyway?

It's a really slow day as usual I'm trying to learn something new and today I'm focusing on Djerba.  Chicago Public Radio is doing a piece on them today but since I don't get the chance to really listen to the radio at work I'm doing my own investigative study on it.  So far I'm fascinated!

Also I'm working on reading the Bible in a year.  I'm convincing myself that once I make it through Deuteronomy it will get less tedious but holy cow the first five books are kickin my butt!  I'm really enjoying the experience and it's helpful to have Dave around to ask questions to because well...he knooooows.  I've done plenty of reading in the New Testament but this is my first time starting and putting any real focus on the Old Testament and I see why I skillfully avoided it for so long.  But I'm diving right in and I'm learning so much from it.  I give it an A+ for positive experience and a D- for heck yeah you're putting me to sleep.  

I also checked this out today.  This is such a post about religion without actually being a post about religion....cool.

I'm heading back to the land of work, break is almost over and I'm running out of ramble.  Is it alliteration when the words aren't right next to each other.  I'm all about alliteration.  I think that was just rhyming followed by alliteration.  I'm so loosing the battle of 'who's cooler,' pretty much because everyone is cooler than me!  

word.
