Happy Canada Day, everybody!

We'll be celebrating by watching this week's Daily Shows (not very Canadian, hmmm, or is it...), possibly watching Spiderman 2 and going to a BBQ at Brad and Marnie's this afternoon!

Happy Canada Day! I am just going to take it easy. Looks like we're back into the heat next week too! Last night I had a dream that a friend of mine who doesn't drive had a crummy convertible but to protect it against rain, you pushed a button and a tarp like cottony cover went all over it fast. Funny. In the dream I was telling you guys & whining about how I wanted the Honda Insight but it was only a two seater, blah blah blah. :-)

Good - yes - take it easy today and all weekend if you can!

I've been remembering my convoluted dreams pretty much every time I sleep these days (may have something to do with the pregnancy - I was always a dream rememberer, but this is becoming insane!). Last night I had a huge, detailed dream that Jon and I were getting married. Fortunately, it started to snow (hard) so we had to cancel the wedding - just before I woke up, my mother was starting to comfort me and I was explaining to her that this was a positive thing and a sign that I should have stuck to my beliefs (i.e., anti-marriage for me), so it was a good thing; that the opportunity for me to wed has now past and I'm very glad I didn't go through with it. Not a bad dream at all!

That's interesting. Do you think you dreamt that because of a real or perceived pressure from society or others? Before I got married the losers I worked with at my other job were relentless at implying I was a ho or on the market because I wasn't married. I felt awful all the time but I didn't even tell them when I got married. Once I did all those remarks stopped. Pathetic. My dad said it was the same for him.

I'm thinking it's primarily because of marriage being on my mind with the same-sex vote this week and also with an invitation to a bachelorette that I had to think about.

Interestingly, I haven't had many people try to pressure me into believing in marriage. My doctor tried once, but then I explained my reasons to her, so she stopped and seemed to understand my point (I say "seemed", but I'm fairly postive that she actually did get it - she's so great!). I have one aunt who's tried to convince me to get married and my grandmother tried a bit when I was in NB. I don't feel comfortable explaining my reasons for not marrying to them because I don't want to insult their choice to get married... I think that's about it in terms of people trying to get me to believe in marriage. Guess I'm lucky!
