Peggy's Pretty Priceless Passing Points

February 13, 2006
1. I've been having very strange dreams lately. Not like scary dreams or anything...just bizarre. I dreamt last week that Scott and I were at the store trying to find him a new bathrobe with pockets that were big enough for the bandages we had to wrap around his fingertips because they kept bleeding...how strange, huh?
2. My point to this whole dream thing is that I had a dream last night that we hired one of my friends (One of you who gets this, by the way!) but we decided to haze her by locking her in a closet all day. Well, needless to say, when we let her out, she was MAD and told me she was going to tell HR but that I had a chance to email the HR Manager and explain that I didn't take part in it...except that I had. So instead, I beat her up and while we were fighting, I was thinking to myself, "Why are we fighting? She's one of my dearest friends! I don't even know HOW to fight!" This whole thing is very strange, because the friend is on my top 10 list of favorite people I've ever known. Odd...
3. If loving Kenny Rogers is wrong, I don't want to be right.
4. So let's talk about Michelle Kwan. I have to tell you, I'm pretty disgusted by the whole thing. I've never liked her; I've always felt she was something of a diva. I think she's dropped out of the Olympics because she knows that she's going to choke (because she always does) and wants to bow out of her last Olympics as a medical martyr. To you, Michelle, I say "Phooey!"
5. Did I just say "Phooey?"
6. So I was watching Grey's Anatomy last night. It was so intense I think I stopped breathing for a moment. (When the bomb went off) This is my dilemma: I really want Meredith and Dr. McDreamy to end up together. But he's married. But his wife was the one who cheated on him first so that's why he left and how was he to know she was going to follow him to Seattle? And he's trying really hard to do the honorable thing and stay with her even though he obviously loves Meredith. (I don't think she's home wrecker, I mean, he'd already left his wife because she cheated on him!) So it's this huge internal struggle for me because I want him to leave his wife and be with Meredith, who he obviously loves, but his wife loves him too! Okay, Peggy. Take a step back...these are NOT real people!!!
7. I really hope there's no tally sheet in heaven where someone is keeping track of the smutty reality TV shows I have been addicted to in the past. If there is, I'm in HUGE trouble.
8. I forgot to bring a lunch today and I don't know what I want. I have a limited selection around here, which is really my problem. Maybe I want popcorn chicken...Mmmm...Popcorn chicken. But do I want mashed potatoes or tater wedges? WHY IS LIFE FULL OF SO MANY DANG CHOICES?
9. My goal is to go the day without a Diet Coke. I have to tell you, though, I really want one.
10. My sister told me yesterday that every P5 includes some reference to Diet Coke. (This one has two.) I think this only magnifies my problem.
