Dreams Really Do Come True

Today I came home to a sweet little surprise from my boyfriend. Sitting atop of my laptop was a strange purple necklace I had never seen before. Gllen heard me come home and emerged from his office in time to see me staring at the necklace in confusion. "What is that?" I asked.

"I bought a present for you." He said, smiling at me. I gazed at the three strands in confusion.

Finally, I remembered a bleary conversation with Gllen, when I had woken up from a dream and told him how sad I was that the dream wasn't real. In the dream, I had been shopping at an estate sale and found a gorgeous amethyst necklace, three strands of polished crystal, and bought it for only ten dollars. I hazily recalled him asking me if I like amethysts. I then listed off all the gemstones that I love, which is basically everything but diamonds.

So here he had researched an cute little necklace to match my dream, bought it online and gave it to me, in his words, "Just to be nice." How cute is that?!

Now I'm wondering if my other dream will come true... the one in which I dreamed that Gllen had a youtube video of himself that had gone totally bonkers viral. It was only a ten second video, where Gllen drinks deeply from a glass, smacks his lips and says jubilantly, "I love my JUICE!" (the word juice is spoken 'joooooooooooooose!') It's already the new catch-phrase in our household...

The Shirt Says it All

Today, Gllen and I were talking about a party I am going to where there are a lot of Apple users. Gllen jokingly said he would come to the party and wear a shirt that says "Windows is better than Mac"

"Okay!" I said eagerly. I think he was taken aback by my easy agreement, so he revised, "I'll wear a shirt that says, 'Janelle is my girlfiend. Macs Suck.'"

I smiled at him. "Sure!" When he raised his brows at me and laughed, I added, "That will certainly strike up some conversations. People will want to talk to you. I enjoy seeing you converse with others."

He made some wierd noises and revised again. "Janelle is my girlfriend. Macs Suck. I won't talk to you."

With a smirk on my face, I told him, "You know, that shirt would come in handy in pretty much any social situation you are in." Really. It sums him up, and reflects about as much as he would contribute to a conversation verbally anyway...

More Catch-Phrases

Gllen is a repeater. That means I hear a lot of the same things coming from his mouth, day after day, minute after minute. Two things that he has been doing recently:

Belching out the word "EAT". I learned later that his goal is to one day belch out the sentence "EAT at Denny's!" When I asked about the reasoning behind that goal, he was elusive.

And, mostly while he's bippin and boppin around the kitchen, "Ching-Chow!"
