Sleep Talking Jay

Poor Jay. I sure do write about him a lot. I don't write all the things I would like to, because some stuff just stays between Jay & I. It wouldn't be as special plus some of you might be jealous. You do have to know Jay is a good guy AND a good sport since I do write about his sleep talking!!

Last Monday night, I have no idea what Jay was dreaming about. I'm also starting to think I need to set up a video or audio recording device, just so he can hear what he says & does!!! So as I mentioned, I don't know what Jay was dreaming about. I just know he said "mmmm hmmmm" a few times & was giggling up a storm. It was pretty funny!

The next night, yes, sometimes Jay is pretty eventful more than one night in a row. I haven't been a sound sleeper lately, and can usually pin point when "things" are about to happen. Jay does this weird thing where his arm shoots into the air. Don't ask, I don't know why. Next thing I know he yells "yeah, sure it's almost done", puts his arm down & goes back to sleep. I can't explain it, but it is pretty funny.

I'm really glad that he doesn't get mad when I share these funny stories about him.

Here's to another addition of Sleep Talking Jay!!!

Nun Ship

I'm not sure many people even know this story. It's a pretty old one. I don't know why it popped into my head either. It's pretty funny.

Years ago, when I had my first apartment in NJ, my downstairs neighbor was getting married. We had become friends & had been hanging out. Her maid of honor was planning a girl's night out. I offered to be the designated driver that night.

So we get out to a local place near us & her friend starts chatting it up with some guys. She was looking for some "company". I was there purely to be entertained.

So as we are sitting there chatting, this drunk guy named Bill came up to me & asked why I wasn't drinking. I told him I was the designated driver & not drinking. He asked me what kind of person does that so I told him a person who was going into the Nun Ship doesn't drink & drive & that we were trying something new out. I told him there was a new program with the Nun Ship where we come out in civilian clothes, being designated drivers for women so they get home safe & sound. Before any one corrects me, yes, I know nuns go into convents. That's pretty funny you know. And I did make all this up as it was happening. I'm good like that!!

He told me with how I looked I didn't belong with the nuns. Apparently nuns aren't well endowed. Then he asked me why I had an engagement ring on. I told him that it stood for my impending marriage to God. He was believing every single word I said. So as the night went on he kept asking if I really wanted to commit my life to God, looking the way I did.

The funny part was this guy had a friend who was sober. He was a really nice guy & he totally knew I was bullshitting his friend. He laughed every time I made something up. He & I laughed pretty hard when it was time to go.

THAT my friends is a 100% true & authentic Elizabeth story. Take me with you to a bar one night, I will show you, in person how it's done!!!

Tidbits...

I have a some things to share. I do have a Sleep Talking Jay entry. It isn't long enough to dedicate to whole blog post but I still have to share it. The other morning, it was early & the boy (my cat) was running around like a nut because he wanted breakfast. We live in a shoe box & or some reason he revs his engines & comes running from my dining area & streaks across the bed. As he ran over the bed & Jay, Jay sat up, put his hand out & said "Keep 'em coming". Why? I don't know, but it made me laugh out loud!!!!

I may have to start a new section called "Texts From Jay". I got one today, that, well, I just didn't understand. This is what I got: So I was in jail this morning, I had Rallo from The Cleveland Show as my cell mate and my bail was for 2 dozen chicken wings. WTF??? I read it 10 times & had no idea what he was talking about. Jay said this was his dream this morning, that he actually remembered!!! WOW!!! I'm starting to understand why Jay says some of the things he does in his sleep!!! Boy, does he make me laugh!!!

Now I have something sweet to share. My friend Heather & her BFF Carla (who is a friend in my head) have a wonderful website called Besties Photo a Day. It's a lovely way 2 best friends stay in touch through photos. It's more than just photos, you can feel their emotions - happy, sad, excitement, you name it. I'm hoping by my posting about it, it generates more traffic for them. They have monetized their blog with ads so they can save up for a plane ticket so they can visit each other. I'm hoping this helps them just a little bit. Please take the time to see how great these girls and their photos are. It is worth the time. Makes your heart feel warm.

Sleep Talking Jay

So we have another installment of Sleep Talking Jay. This is from Sunday night.

I should say that when I met Jay, I was very attracted to his sense of humor & his wit. He's really funny when he's awake & that, apparently, continues when he's sleeping!! Sometimes, I wonder where it all comes from & I'm pretty sure it's not going to end!!

The other night, is the middle of the night, Jay was sleeping on his left side with his back to me. I'm not a very deep sleeper so I do hear sounds, Hailey itching herself or coughing or snoring. Things like that. It's also why I hear Jay. This is what I heard:

"Psssst, here kitty, come on, come here, pssst pssst, come on, come here".

He had his head lifted, he was patting the covers & moving his arm to get the cat to come to him. Now, my cat does sleep in the bed, but he sleeps snuggled up by me, so I'm not sure who Jay was calling.

He's so funny!!!
