dream interpretation
OK, I had a very sexually explicit dream last night, doing something I have never done, or even considered doing. And while the person I was doing this with, is very hot, I'm not exactly attracted. What do sex dreams mean?
EDIT: So, I've looked up my dream at dreammoods.com and this is what I have found:
Sex
To dream about sex, refers to the psychological completion and the integration of contrasting aspects of the Self. You need to be more receptive and incorporate aspects of your dream sex partner into your own character. Alternatively and a more direct interpretation of the dream, may be your libido's way of telling you that it's been too long since you have had sex (this is soooo true). It may indicate repressed sexual desires and your needs for physical and emotional love.
To dream about sex with someone other than your spouse or significant other, suggests dissatisfaction with the physical side of your relationship. On the other hand, it may be harmless fantasy. In such situations, you may find that you are less inhibited sexually and you can even bring that sense of adventure to your existing relationship.
To dream that you are having sex with an ex or someone who is not your current mate, denotes your reservations about embarking in a new relationship or situation. You may feel nervous about exposing yourself or currently feel a resurgence of those old emotions and feelings that you felt back when you and your ex were together. Believe it or not, it is not uncommon for people approaching their wedding to experience especially erotic adventures with partners other than their intended spouses. This may be due to the intensity of your sexual passion with your fiancee. It also relates to the new roles that you will be taking on and the uncertainty that that may bring.
If you are heterosexual and you dream that you are having sex with someone of the same sex, signifies not necessarily homosexual desire, but an expression of greater self love and acceptance. You need to be in better touch of your feminine or masculine side.
To dream that you are the opposite sex, suggests that you exhibit or need to incorporate those qualities of the opposite sex. Ask yourself, how do you feel being a man or a woman? In what ways can you incorporate those feelings into your waking life.
Oral Sex
To dream that you are giving or receiving oral sex, signifies your willingness to give or receive pleasure/joy. It is symbolic of your creative energy and reaffirms that you are headed in the right direction in life. The dream may also be a pun on talking about sex. You may need to communicate with your mate about your sexual needs and desires. Perhaps you are acting out your sexual wishes.
To dream that you are performing oral sex on yourself, represents your need for self-gratification.

Looking back
My mom made my clothes when I was young. We didn't have much money, so we really couldn't afford to buy clothes. So of course, that's what I wanted more than anything. "Store bought" clothes. Instead I had home-made clothes or hand me downs. And the school I went to, there was a definite division of "the haves" and "have-nots". Even in the first grade, there were cliques and people looked down on those that didn't have as much as them. I'm sure that has a lot to do with why I will not shop at yard sales or second hand stores. Arkieboy would ask me to take him to the Good Will store so he could look for a shirt, and I hated to do it. I hated it. A couple of women in my office shop at the Good Will store a lot, and they're always talking about some of the great deals that they get, but I just cannot stand the thought of buying used clothes. It was always such a mark of not being "good enough" when I was younger, that I just can't do it now. I won't even go to a used book store.
First grade:
Third grade:
Fourth grade - I finally got my "store-bought" dress.

Tenth grade - my mom made this blouse.
I had to wear it the next year, too. One day, in Honors English, our teacher was going over something in that day's lesson. We were working on creative writing. I don't remember what point she was trying to make, but she decided to give us an example, I think of descriptive writing. So, to somehow teach us something about writing, she makes this statement: "You can tell that Freda is poor because her clothes are handmade and are made of cotton materials." Maybe we were supposed to incorporate observations in our writing assignment. I don't remember the "lesson", but I do remember the feeling of humiliation.
This picture has nothing to do with the posts. I just like the way my hair looks. This was my 11th grade pic.

Frustrated
I know, I know... I said I was going to have a better attitude this year. I was going to not complain, bitch and whine about stuff, really. But I'm just so frustated at work. I work for a great company. I have a wonderful supervisor. I make pretty decent money, especially considering I only have an Associate's Degree. I should just be thankful for all that, and suck it up when it comes to anything less than perfect.
Having made that disclaimer, I will now get to my point. I feel like I am held to a much higher standard than other employees. I'm supposed to be perfect, and never make mistakes. I'm given the same training as everyone else, yet I'm expected to somehow know more and be able to explain everything to the others. Sometimes, I'm given less training, and am still supposed to be the "answer gal" if anyone has questions. I just get so frustrated with this. I don't automatically understand everything. I have questions, too. But there doesn't seem to be a source for me to go to. Today, one of the regional employees had called with questions about this claims clearinghouse we've started using for our insurance claims. (I only work with Medicare.) She has sat through the same online training that company provided that I have. So, why am I expected to know more about this than anyone else? I'm not included in any of the meetings, yet I'm supposed to be on top of everything we're doing. I'm just tired of it. Why the hell am I put down as the contact person, when I'm not even kept in the loop as to what this whole thing is?

I've got the wedding photos!!!!
Apparently, Carey couldn't decide on which dress to go with, so they actually had 3 ceremonies.
As you can see, the first ceremony was a combination of elegance and country (the cowboy hat). It's just a shame she couldn't find a better bra to wear with the dress. Look at the size of those straps! Now that's what you call a support foundation!
For the second ceremony, Carey went with a Strapless Taffeta gown that has a Basque waistline and full gathered skirt. The bodice is embellished at the top with beading and crystals. The skirt features a chapel length train. I just think that if she was going to use fake tan on her arms and shoulders, she probably should have applied some to her face or not used quite so much on her torso.
For the final ceremony, she went with something other than white. I really don't know what to say about this choice. It's interesting. Can you just imagine what the bridesmaids' dresses must have looked like?

Feel free to *point and laugh*
I always hated this picture of me. As you can tell, my mom cut my hair when I was young. And she kept my hair short. When I was younger, I would look at this picture, and I always thought it looked like a boy in a dress. Gawd, I had such big ears. Still do, but I guess I've kind of grown into them.

Trying for a new attitude
"If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes." ~St. Clement of Alexandra
"The art of being wise is knowing what to overlook." ~ William James
"A loving heart is the truest wisdom." ~ Charles Dickens
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." ~ Mahatma Ghandi
I generally don't make New Year's resolutions. And I'm really not making one now. But I do plan to try to have a better attitude in the coming year. I will have hope, and I will try to be wise. And I will work towards being the person I should be.
