Couch 246: Choose Change

Ooh - idris elba just showed up as a boxer in my Silent Witness. I take no responsibility for my dreams tonight!

SD - that is a funny story. About you telling a funny story.

The early mr luna liked hogan's heroes, and one time i turned on mchales navy for him, and i was like, arent they the same thing? Wartime military sitcoms? He was pretty insulted, and of course now i see why, but i like what a peacenik i was!

I like HH as well - and although it is less racist - it is equally sexist. But still fun in its own way

That’s me every morning lol

I think he saw himself in the leader role. I dont think he appreciated the humor in MN AT ALL. My mother was humorless, as is my brother, which is why the h was so attractive to me. My dad and i had only funnybones in our bodies.

Last night's dream was pretty boring compared to the night before haha. This time I dreamed I was out hiking and ran into Valerie Bertinelli and we started talking. I can't remember what we were talking about.

I remembered/wrote down 8 dreams in the previous 6 nights. I guess there won't be any shortage of things to talk about in my session this afternoon!

My mom texted this morning saying she's feeling some better today, so that is good news.

Glad to hear it, Artie! And hope you have a good session with L.

Thanks LT! Back from my session, and my goodness I had forgotten how absolutely energizing dream work can be.

Hi Lola!

I wonder how Scarlet is getting on. It's a shame she left in the way that she did and when she did as I would like to know how things develop for her. Maybe she is reading this, she might come back and update us.

I've also been wondering about her and hoping she's doing OK. And that she'll eventually give an update, when she's ready, even if it's months from now. I hope she knows that she's cared for.

Hello Couch!

I am the proud owner of a cute small house with a red front door and a big beautiful tree and a sunny spot to plant sunflowers.
And no one to tell me I could never afford to make a house payment without them or to freak out if I want to paint the kitchen blue. (I don't. But I could if I wanted to. I can paint it flippin' rainbow tye-dye with fluffy clouds if I want. Best that I don't really want to do that either. Heh.)

I picked up the keys yesterday. The house is in excellent shape according to the inspector but there are a few minor repairs and tweaks I want to make (and I can make them if I want!). Now I embark on Calling All the People!- plumber, electrician, locksmith, contractors.


And because I am an optimist at heart I am hosting makeshift Thanksgiving in my new house for 15 people and growing because the answer to "Can so-and-so come too?" is always yes.

Congrats, WFS!!! I'm really happy for you!

This might call for a Couch Roadtrip Housewarming Thanksgiving. We can hitch SD's smoker to the back of the caravan. I call dibs on the rocking chair strapped to the top.

Congrats WFS. I'm happy for you and the kids to finally have a safe nourishing space of your own.

Have a look at the book "The Flower Yard" by Arthur Parkinson for garden inspiration.

I was just thinking about her this morning actually, wondering how she's doing too.

Congrats WFS!! I'm so happy for you. I think it's wonderful that you'll be hosting Thanksgiving; a beautiful start to your life there.

We are already on lesson 10 (out of 12) in this Assertiveness course. Right now I'm learning about being assertive at work/in job interviews. There has been SO much good information in this course - I'm printing out each lesson as I finish it to keep in a binder for future reference. Been practicing some of the new skills I'm learning with H - and so far it's going well. I told L yesterday about a situation the night before, where I used one of them and it basically stopped h in his tracks after he started to get annoyed at me about something (where I was right and assertively stood my ground) and because I did, he actually heard what I was saying when I repeated myself and realized I was right, and he said I agree with you. It was a-maz-ing. It is going to take a lot more practice for me to start being assertive naturally; I will get there. I am getting there.

Last time we did that, you got us all jailed for a night because you kept flashing your undergotchies at passing cars.

Well nobody ever said una wasn't fun at a party!

It's not like i was WEARING them!

Or anything else.

At least i kept my hands at 10 and 2!
