Hold Me Closer, Tiny Hostess

Had a dream last night that I was really tiny. Surprisingly, it was actually quite fun except that I was too small to pour myself a glass of milk. The fact that the glass was also too big for me didn't seem to have occured to me at all. Thankfully, everyone else was still normal-sized, so help was there if I needed it I suppose.

I don't normally remember my dreams, but it's kind of fun when I do. Maybe I should start keeping a dream journal. Think I annoyed Patrick a bit, though.

"Would you still love me if I was really tiny?"
"Yes, dear. Go back to sleep."

I've been playing hostess a bit recently as Patrick's two lovely sisters came to stay for a while. Turns out playing hostess isn't actually that hard, though, when the guests are quite happy to help out with the housework and cooking. They should come and stay more often!

Their upbringing has been pretty strict, so I guess we have that in common. My upbringing wasn't strict, but being with Patrick has given me a good deal of insight I think. I'm not sure if they'll both look for husbands who will be similarly strict with them, though. Can you have too much of a good thing?

A Farewell to Booze

Patrick announced a few weeks ago that he thought we should both stay sober from now on. I thought it was just a crazy idea brought on by too much Xboxing but I found out how serious he was earlier this week when I came home a little tipsy and ended up getting myself punished for it. I'm also grounded, so if you're wondering why you haven't seen me 'out on the town' lately, then that's why!

I guess I can kind of understand it. Patrick explained why sobriety is a Very Good Thing, if not for medical or other reasons, then simply for spiritual ones. I tried pointing out this passage in the Bible to him:

"Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts."

His reponse was, "It's says 'him'. That means I could drink if I wanted to, but you still can't."

Darn it.

So anyway, I'd like to take this opportunity to say a fond farewell to booze ... we've had some good times!
