I’m fascinated by language and pop culture and the way new words and expressions arise. My new favorite expression – “It’s not rocket surgery.” I just love this deliberate mashup of “rocket science” and “brain surgery”. It makes me smile.

I guess it makes lots of people smile, because when I Googled the expression, it’s all over the Interwebs. And it’s the title of this pretty cool song by Amy Kuney.

A few weeks ago, I blogged that I was having success with the dream materials (stones and dream pillow) I purchased. Thought it was time to give a bit of an update.

Are my dreams are stronger/more vivid since incorporating these aids into my night-time? Yes.  But not every night is brilliantly vivid. Some mornings I wake to notes that are lacking.

(Geez, you would not believe how guilty I feel to write that!) But I am definitely a person who needs her sleep. Seriously, I'm known for it with family/friends ... Heather didn't sleep?

I love old movies. Well, not all old movies. The mysteries, the sci-fi, and the scary ones. Oh, and anything with the late Vincent Price in it (which of course, will probably fall under the category of creepy and scary anyway). Last night Brandon (my oldest son) and I popped the 1971 classic The Abominable Dr. Phibes into the DVD player.
