Shouting Out Requests and Turning the House Upside Down

Last night I had a dream that took place underwater. Also, there was a chase scene.

This weekend I saw my cousin play music in a bar on Houston street and was surprised and delighted that so many of his friends from college all came out to see him. A lot of them drove for hours to shout the name of one song over and over again. Two Stories, Two Stories! TWO stories!!! I didn't know what they were going to do once he finally sang it. What does one shout now that they've played the song you were so loudly requesting?

I kind of feel that way in life, I guess. Nic and I are both shouting WEDDING! HOUSE! Wedding! HOUSE! and through the loudness of it, it will be hard to imagine what it will be like once our song is played. What will we be shouting for.

We turned the house upside down looking for my w2s from last year. I probably placed it carefully in between the pages of a long -forgotten book to mark my place, or just as likely I tore it up into tiny pieces and baked it into a pie. Who knows. I lost my wallet recently (stress related, you think_ and well ...wait, i should tell you that I'm fairly sure that the way i lost my wallet is that . OK. this is one of those things, that just makes sense if you know me. no. wait. this sort of thing doesn't make sense at all . OK, i think i put my wallet in someone Else's coat pocket. yup. just slipped it right in there. I distinctly remember bowling, and thinking, my goodness, I'm going to loose this wily wallet if i don't put it somewhere safe -- so i placed it in my coat hanging up on the hook. At the end of the night, when it was time to find my coat, it was no where near that hanging up coat, it wasn't even hanging up. So, it's true. it would be a crime if i was pick-pocketed, but no...I put-pocketed it. Think of that surprised stranger though. boy did I get them.
Anyway, i needed to find my passport to have some id after this whole wallet debacle and i searched the apartment high and low for that, too. ( are you getting the impression that i might be disorganized or stressed?) and after several days, and an impromptu trip to Baltimore, I found it in some old purse. Today I checked that same old purse, just in case my w2 might have found its way in there.

Wouldn't it be great if you just had a bag in your house where lost things showed up?
that sock
that earring back
the remote
your keys
all the entries of this blog i didn't keep up with.
