Tidbit Tuesday: Neither Here Nor There

Lots of random going on in my world these days.  And if you're still reading, here are some highlights:

1. My finger is healed.  It didn't require medical attention and seems to be functioning properly at this time.  And I'll beware of electric mixers in the future.  There are still some things that bother it...like opening the car door, gripping things tightly or pushing buttons on the microwave, but all in all I'm really lucky that it wasn't severely injured.  I haven't tried to crochet yet.  We'll see how that goes in the next few days.
2. My mom got an iPhone for Christmas and now I want a smart phone.  Really bad.
3. I had a dream on Monday night that scared the shit out of me.  The long and short of it was that I was sat down with 2 other people at gun point and was told by a man with a laptop computer equipped with a webcam that one of the 3 of us would be killed and that he'd take 12 minutes to do it and he'd be streaming live to his website.  He was a serial killer and had killed 11 other people in the coinciding amount of minutes (one minute to kill the first person, 2 minutes to kill the second person, etc.) and now he was on the number 12.  I was excited that maybe I'd live because he was only choosing one of us.  But then he said, "The other 2 of you will be killed almost painlessly."  And all I could think the whole time in the dream was, "How the hell did I get here??"  Freaky.  I was crying when I woke up.
4. Last night Jayna and Chris were playing with a punching balloon in the living room.  Jayna started to get out of control, so I told her to "turn on her listening ears" and settle down...and DON'T spill daddy's drink on the table.  A few minutes later Chris was playing with the balloon and spilled his almost full drink all over the table, carpet and entertainment center.  And Jayna said to him, "Dad, you have to listen with your ears and be careful."  Ha.
5. Christmas was weird this year.  Completely strange.  Jayna got lots of stuff and enjoyed everything about Christmas, but I'm standing by my original statement of it being a strange year.
6. Jayna was moved in with the 4-year-olds at her preschool.  Yay!
7. I want a new house.
