I'm a slippery little sucker


I had fish and chips for dinner. Like, yeah. Could I pick something less healthy?
Michael managed to injure himself rather handily on this morning's run. Fingers crossed that it's something he can work out over the next few days. In the meantime he's really limpy.
I have to make my bed. I washed the sheets. I hate putting sheets on my bed. I'm not sure why - it'll take me all of three and half minutes - but I'll probably sleep on the couch just to spite myself.

He he. Sexual Pursuit. That was a fun night (even though I lost because I had the least number of, er, "rings").

I've just realised that 'I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier' is from a fave Killers song. I played it really loud for my boys on the boat when we were painting and calking one day. What a great day.
Cor, I wanna get that game.

By the way, this post made me go out and buy a bottle of scotch that I actually like, and well, couldn't resist the Baileys that was $2 cheaper than usual.
Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
p.s I dreamt that I was watching you run a marathon last night. Then I lost my front teeth. Farking farked up night of dreams.

I dream often that I am losing my teeth. Apparently it's common. I hate those dreams. I'm always so happy to wake up and none of my teeth are wiggly.

Found this explanation for you toothless wonders :)

One theory is that dreams about your teeth reflect your anxiety about your appearance and how others perceive you. Sadly, we live in a world where good looks are valued highly and your teeth play an important role in conveying that image. Teeth are used in the game of flirtations, whether it be a dazzling and gleaming smile or affectionate necking. These dreams may stem from a fear of your sexual impotence or the consequences of getting old. Teeth are an important feature of our attractiveness and presentation to others. Everybody worries about how they appear to others. Caring about our appearance is natural and healthy.



Another rationalization for these falling teeth dream may be rooted in your fear of being embarrassed or making a fool of yourself in some specific situation. These dreams are an over-exaggeration of your worries and anxiety.



Teeth are used to bite, tear, chew and gnaw. In this regard, teeth represent power. And the loss of teeth in your dream may be from a sense of powerlessness. Are you lacking power in some current situation? Perhaps you are having difficulties expressing yourself or getting your point across. You feel frustrated when your voice is not being heard. You may be experiencing feelings of inferiority and a lack of self-confidence in some situation or relationship in your life. This dream is an indication that you need to be more assertive and believe in the value of your own opinion.



In the latest research, it has been shown that women in menopause have frequent dreams about teeth. This may be related to getting older and/or feeling unattractive and less feminine.



Traditionally, it was thought that dreaming that you did not have teeth, represent malnutrition which may be applicable to some dreamers.

Menopause!? Ah, gad!
When I have my toothless dreams I'm usually very anxious and stressed about it (in the dream), so I will attribute it to stress.
I've come to accept that, given half a chance, I will embarass myself in all specific situations and I'm okay with that.
